Did you receive an auto reply letter when asking the authorization letter? I did not receive it, I am not sure if I sent it successfully.

It is my lawyer who has submitted it and there was no auto reply.

How do you send reminders?
the subject can be like this
REMINDER- Main applicant name (XXX-spouse) # UCI | Uniting with immediate family members in Canada

first line on the email, you can type this after that it should be the same email from previous one.

Hi everyone!

We got a refusal yesterday saying,
  • you have not established that your reasons for travelling are non-discretionary or non-optional.
I do not understand. We applied for my husband's family and they are the extended family as grandparents. We just wrote visiting family as the purpose of travel. There is nowhere saying they have to justify this reason to be non-optional. I think anyone can apply for this authorization if the travel is non-optional reasons but the immediate and extended family can come with written authorization for any reason.

People who got approval, what did you write for the reason to travel? How did you get approved? It is really important for them to come here for a few months as I need to go back to working and I am studying as well and there is nobody to take care of my son. Please help!
