Requirement for Medical Examination
If your sponsored relative(s) has (have) not already done so, your relative(s) must provide an original
Upfront Medical Report form (IMM1017B UPFRONT) signed by a Panel Physician or an E-Medical
Up-front Medical Notification information sheet. Your relative(s) must complete the medical
examination and, once completed, forward this information directly to the visa office noted above
along with a copy of this letter. Your application has been transferred to the visa office noting this
deficiency. Your relative must forward the medical information directly to the visa office to allow
continued processing of his/her application. Failure to do so will result in delays and possible refusal
of your relative's application.
Reminder – Your undertaking is an unconditional promise of support
The undertaking you signed is an unconditional promise to financially support and provide basic
requirements for your sponsored relative(s). This undertaking is not broken by such changes as the
granting of Canadian citizenship, divorce, separation, relationship breakdown, moving to another
province, or a change in your financial situation. Your obligations as a sponsor begin as soon as your
sponsored relative and, if applicable, their accompanying family members become permanent
residents of Canada. This undertaking cannot be cancelled once permanent resident visas are issued
to them.
Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)
If the Right of Permanent Residence Fee is applicable to your application and you have chosen to
defer payment of that fee, you will be contacted to make the payment at a later date. A Permanent
Resident Visa cannot be issued to your relative(s) until this payment is submitted.
When should I contact CIC?
You must notify Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) of any changes to your application.
Examples of changes include:
Changes in your personal circumstances, such as birth or adoption of a child, death of a family
member, a marriage or a divorce;
Change of contact information (e-mail, mailing address, telephone number);
Appointment or change of immigration representative or designated individual;
Decision to withdraw your application.
You have the option to withdraw your application at any point in the process, provided that a final
decision has not been made on your relative's application for permanent residence. You may be
eligible for a refund of the sponsorship fee or the permanent resident application fee if processing of
your file has not yet begun.
You must report any changes to your address, telephone number(s) and email address immediately.
Changes to your contact information should be made through our online service at
www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/change-address.asp. Failure to provide a current or correct
