Hello,
Just to provide a quick update for my file.
I got the email from CIC asking for additional documents tonight. They want all the documents submitted to them in 30 days. So far my timeline is:
Jan 2014 - submitted app for 3 people (principal applicant + spouse and youngest daughter {age 20 at time of application-cutoff back then was 22})
Jun 2014 - received confirmation
Feb 2017 - Sponsorship status changed to "Decision Made" and PR status "application received"
Mar 2017 - asking for additional docs + payment
Note that the additional docs they asked are identity documents, not the medical or passport request.
However, after looking around the cic website and this forum, some things are still not clear:
1. They are asking for the payment for rprf, which is 490. However, it does not say anything for the payments of the dependents (spouse and daughter). Does anybody know where can I find the fee so we can pay it all in one go?
2. The youngest daughter is now 22, and working so she can support the parents (both are retired). When we filed the application, she was on her last year of college, got a job right after graduation. Will her job affect her pr application? Back then, the cic website states that any child below 22 (irregardless of disability or working status) can be included on the application - so we included her in it. By my guess.. her application should not be affected even if she is working now, correct?
3. We have the option to send the documents by email, or send it thru a VAC. We are planning to send it thru the VAC (manila office) - this way the agent there can verify if the gathered documents are correct. Is this the best way? or is there a better one?
Thanks fam, I hope my timeline can provide a some help.
