All our papers where returned with a letter saying we where missing parts of our application, Okay so maybe not as bad as being straight up denied, but its about the worst we expected.
The letter is a little bit ambiguous as to what we did wrong, so I'm hoping to have some more experienced folks help us translate. They hlighted some things on our document checklist that we need to correct, but first I'd like some help understanding the list that was placed on the letter itself.(Its important to note that we applied for a work visa and spousal sponsorship at the same time). Its goes like this:
The following items are missing and/or incomplete from your application package:
>Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008)
>Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) for the Principle Applicant, even if the Principle Applicant is under the age of 18; any of your family members 18 years of age or older
>Proof of Status in Canada (Permanent Residence Card, Canadian Citizenship Card, Canadian Citizenship certificate of card(both sides), Canadian birth certificate (for Quebec, only a birth certificate issued by the directeur de I'Etat civil du Quebec is accepted), Canadian passport.
So for the Generic application form, We did include that document for me; the applicant wanting to be sponsored. The only obvious errors I could find might be that the UCI I placed down was from my visitor record and we where a little unsure if that was the correct number to place down. Also we seem to have left "Date and place of your last entry to Canada" Blank on accident. Would either of these be enough to have the document rejected? are we supposed to fill out one of these for my Wife, the sponsor as well?
For Additional Family Information, I don't see any obvious errors on this form, are you supposed to fill out a form for both me and my wife?(Actually just went back and saw some fine print on the form, yes we where supposed to fill out one for each of us, what an oversight ugh)
Finally proof of Status in Canada, simple. We forgot to get photo copy my wife's passport/birth certificate. Oops.
Okay that was the stuff on the letter, the last question we wanted to ask was if you had to pay the Open Work Visa fee at the same time as the Application fee that we already paid for? Are they two different fees? because we didn't remember seeing that requested anywhere.
Thanks for any help you guys give us, and sorry if this lacks coherency, we're both pretty jumbled up right now. It was really exciting getting a parcel back from the CIC after weeks of waiting, and just soul crushing to see we screwed up in so many ways. If you need some more information just ask.
