Hello All,

I'm so sorry for posting this here, but I am seriously looking for some help. I thought April forum is a good place to get some answers as most of the folks got their PR.


I have received a request from CIC today to provide below information.

> Marriage photos: Please provide additional marriage photos. Photos submitted should
include pictures taken of the principal applicant and the sponsor together on other occasions,
either before and/or after the wedding including honeymoon photos.

I am curious why they requested this even after sending 30 photos including the date & description of the event on the back of every photo. Do I need to send more photos?


> Proof of Relationship: Please provide a detailed description, including dates, regarding
the development of your relationship (.i.e when you began dating, when you began residing
together, what the circumstances were, when you began to share finances, when you openly
advertised your relationship as a couple).

Sent lot of information initially such as social media screenshots, flight tickets & boarding passes, insurance copies and wedding card. But confused what else they are looking.


> Communication, proof: Proof of communication (such as letters, E-mails, phone bills,
text messages), between you and your sponsor with associated dates and a description of the
event.

To be honest, we just used whatsapp only to communicate each other and we had chat only in our mother tongue. Do I need to translate this with the help of translator? Suggest me if anyone knows certified translator.

Requesting you guys to assist/provide me with some inputs if any one has already gone through this phase.



And finally the letter has the below lines:

"As a final reminder, you must also complete the medical examination for you and all family members within 30 days of this letter if you have not done so previously. You are required to have all your family members be examined as part of the process of applying for permanent residence in Canada, even if they will not come to Canada with the principal applicant. This examination of your non accompanying dependent is in accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation section 70(1)(e)."

My spouse(sponsor) lives in Canada and I live in USA and have already passed medicals. We don't have kids yet but my parents lives in India & they are not mentioned as dependents in initial application. Do I need to submit my parents medicals? Can someone please clarify?

I'm no expert, and we're still waiting on the PR, but to me:

- Photos: sounds like they want not only pictures of your wedding but of your relationship in general, before and after the wedding. We included pictures of the two of us together when we dated, got engaged, outings, with our kids, family, friends, co-workers, etc.

- Proof of relationship: sounds like they want a narrative, an history in writing of your relationship with dates

- Communication proof: maybe they do want a translation? I have no idea there

- Medical: I don't know what they mean there. My understanding is that dependents have to pass a medical but your parents were not listed as dependents.

Good luck

First three questions, IRCC still want to determine that your relationship/marriage is genuine and for which they need more details.
Marriage Photos: Give them more; especially ones where you both are with friends and family.
Proof of Relatoinship: Give them further details and as per they have asked like dates and all.
Communication Proof: In addition to earlier ones you provided, I'm sure you have more chats and call logs now, I would include those here as well.
and yes, now they ask for certified translation so it'll be better if you do that.

Medicals: If you had completed then just provide them with details like date/receipt of the same.
I'm sorry but you have no other option but to respond to this letter and while you will be responding anyways, better if include all the details once again.
