Hey guys, quick question, I received my sponsor letter stating I am eligible and so on. My doubts are for the docs needed: travel doc- I had submitted my mothers passport copy as proof of relation to me, do I still have to provide it and would it include all pages of travel?
Country specific requirements:I am lost as when I press applying for it shows me options of spouse,common-law,etc and not my parents. What do i do for this requirement?
Supplementary information-your travels: Just fill form IMM 5562 for my mom as shes the ones am sponsoring?

Lastly, i just to email them travel docs, pcc, form IMM 5562 and resume?
They directly get the bio metrics and medical results and I dont need to submit anything for these?
Will appreciate the response.
Thanks
Bio and medical goes direct remaining by e-mail...no harm in resubmit pp copy again

Put the month when you are filling the form e.g. 2019-12 for now.

Country specific for India, as I know is the birth certificate of the sponsor.
If you don't have original birth certificate, CIC is asking Aadhar card, Voter ID and School certificates.

Did your additional document request come with SA letter?

All passport pages needs to be sent again in case it was not submitted before.
For country specific look @ guidelines for spouse category.
I sent mom's educational certificates
And aadhar card
If they require sthg more they will let me know I guess as she doesn't have birth certificate!

Yes the date on my letter is dec 20, received it today afternoon. On ecas it shows that processing started on dec 9. Unfortunately I am not able to link the application to my cic. I even tried making an account for my mom but it doesn't show me any option to link her application either. So I dont know the exact date the status got changed on ecas.

Since she doesn't have her birth certificate, I will submit her voter and adhar card along with certificates. Does any of these needs to be notarized?Yes it was listed in my SA letter as following:

Please note that the following documentation is required for your sponsored family members. If not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible:
 Passport/Travel Document: Your relative must submit a copy of their passport. If your relative's passport has expired or will expire within the next 12 months, please have them apply for and submit a copy of their new passport with a validity of 12 months or more. Please ensure to include all pages of the passport.
 Biometrics (if applicable): On July 31st, 2018, biometrics became a requirement for some IRCC applicants. If your relatives are required to complete biometrics, they would have received a request for fees and an instruction letter with details on how to submit biometrics. If they have yet to submit biometrics, they should do so immediately. Biometrics requirements can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp
 Police Certificate: For the principal applicant and dependant spouse (if applicable), please provide police certificates from:
 The country where they currently live; and
 Any country they have lived for six months or more (if applicable).
Your relative is required to obtain the police certificate from that country's law enforcement authorities. Please send a copy of the original police certificate to this office as soon as they receive it. Instructions to obtain Police Certificates can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp.
 Country Specific Requirements: Please refer to the country specific requirements listed for spouses, as these documents are applicable to parents and grandparents. Country specific requirements can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp

Hello All,

I have request to update my application. I had received an email from CIC on September 25th to re-submit the IMM5669 form (with hand-written signature), which I did on October 1st. Since then, I have not heard anything from them. :(:(:(:(

Also, My application is for both mother and father. Can someone update that also?

Is someone in same situation as me? :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance, and Good luck to all :)
