A second request for Details of military service imm 5546 when I didn't serve

[Dimon1]

Hi there,

I sponsored my parents in 2021. Recently IRCC agent requested additional information which included details of military service referencing father's and mothers' work experience at a military base where he worked as a civilian. My reply included an explanation that they worked as civilians and a photocopy of fathers military and work book where it is that he did not serve. For some reason, it didn't satisfy the agent as they sent me another request to provide details of military service a month later.

Did this happen to anyone?

Hi. My husband has got a second detailed military service record document. He got the first request in October 2022. May I know if you have received a decision (positive or negative) after submitting the document? Please reply.

Hi there,

Looks like I am in the same pool. They have asked me to provide the IMM5546 forms again with the following information" A certified copy of Military records IMM5546" have you certified that as well?

Hi. My husband was asked to fill up the same IMM form last year in October. After 1 year and 20 days IRCC has given him another form attached to the email to be filled up and submitted by 15 days. This new form is not an IMM form, rather it was attached to the email. IRCC never asked for a certified IMM 5546 form. Thanks. May I know your application date please?

Hi. Congratulations for the improvement on your application. I believe they will expedite the process for you. It seems they’re confirming with the military records before emailing the ecopr. Hopefully, you’ll get your decision soon. Thanks.
