Hi guys,
i have many questions concerning the sponsorship for my mother and her dependent(s).
My sister lives since 20 years in Canada. She also has the canadian citizenship. She applied to sponsor our mother in year 2006 (through Mississauga and now the local Visa Office in Dakar). last week the VO in Dakar requested the passports for the visas. Three Persons were included in the application: My mother, her Husband (my father) and my brother (the dependents of the main applicant). Now the questions:

1- Are the fees paid twice? In the passport request the VO wrote "you have to pay the fees if they haven't been paid"
but my sister (the sponsor) had paid already some kind of fees long time ago in Mississauga, except the fees for my father (dependent and husband
of the main applicant). The VO has not provided the bank account for the fees!!

1.a- Which kind of fees exist in the sponsorship? are the fees paid twice?


2- When the visas will be issued, can my mother (the main applicant) travel first alone to validate the visa without her dependents (husband
and son)?
if yes: after the main applicant has landed to validate her visa, how long time the dependents have to validate their visa?


3- The main applicant has also a form to fill. All her children have to be mentioned on the form (accompanying or not). Each child must have his own Form to fill or a single Form must contain all children?

Note: my mother and her dependents have all underwent the medical check. My brother is "mandatory" in the application but my father ist "optional". That means my brother must immigrate to Canada but my father could immigrate


As you see i have many questions that cause headaches :-\
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I have some good news to share...

My parents got medical request today. The letter was dated May 30, 2012 and was sent from the LVO. I was really surprised to hear so quickly from the LVO for medicals after my application was sent to them on May 10, 2012.

Good luck to the rest of you who have apps sent to LVO...

If you have the File Number (the one that starts with "F"), and you are sure that the file is in LVO Delhi (some people were told that their papers were sent to LVO, but got their medical request from Ott), then you can fax it to the Immigration Fax# provided here:

I have a good news to share. I got an email from Ottawa requesting Medical and Police Certificates. I have already sent PCC on March 29. I believe the email format is generic and they send Medical and PCC requests to everyone. In the email it does mention that you are not required to send the PCC again if you have already done that.
In addition to that, I have been asked to submit Marriage certificate for my parents. I already have an affidavit from them which I did not sent to CIC. Should I send the affidavit now or should I ask my parents to register their marriage and send original Marriage certificate??
congrats on progress....as for marriage certi. i had same issue and tried to find out how to get one but the process was complicated and exhausting, so i submitted affidavit and they accepted it

I was unable to check status online for the last month. Finally, was able to log in this morning and found the following

We received your application to sponsor Mr. FirstName LastName on August 04, 2008.
We started processing your application on May 16, 2012.
We sent you a letter on May 16, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.



What's next ? How long will it take to get the letter for Medical?
i also got the same letter dated May 17 2012 and then nothing, still waiting for medical. I check e-cas daily. Pls update any progress, I will update too...BTW does it mention where your file is being transferred to?

1- Are the fees paid twice?
there are two types of fees: one is for application and another is for permanent residence (Right of Permanent Residence Fee). The application fee is paid when application is files so it has been already paid. The Right of Permanent Residence Fee has to be paid before visa is issued... but it doesn't have to be paid at the same time as application is send... some people pay all fees at the same time when they apply... most people don't pay Permanent Residence Fee at application time... you need to ask your sister or call CIC to figure out what was paid and what was not... the fees can be paid on-line at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp

2- When the visas will be issued, can my mother (the main applicant) travel first alone to validate the visa without her dependents (husband
and son)? if yes: after the main applicant has landed to validate her visa, how long time the dependents have to validate their visa?
the visa is usually valid for 12 months after medicals... your mother can travel first and then all dependends can travel to canada later... but everybody has to land before the visa expiry date...

aljarreau said:
3- The main applicant has also a form to fill.
Do you know the number of the form? Is it Additional Family information form?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5406E.PDF
if it is Additional Family Information form then it must be completed by main applicant (your mother), her spouse or common-law partner (whether accompanying her to Canada or not), and her dependent children aged 18 or over.
