===================
Dear Applicant,

I am now completing the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa. It appears that you may not meet the definition of a spouse per R117(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 2002 (IRPA), and thus, you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.


R117(1)(a) of the IRPA defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner.

I note you have submitted a marriage certificate issued on dated...by the Consulate General of Afghanistan as evidence of your marriage to your sponsor. However, you have not submitted a Pakistani Nikah Nama or a marriage registration certificate issued by the Pakistani civil authorities. I therefore have concerns regarding the validity of your marriage and that you may not be a member of the family class.

Before a final decision regarding your eligibility as a member of the family class is made, you are being given 30 days to provide an explanation and any additional information/documentation you may wish to submit, to support that the proxy marriage was performed correctly. The information/documentation you submit must be sufficient to clearly demonstrate that the above definition is/definitions are met. If the documents are not written in either English or French, please enclose a certified translation in addition to a photocopy of the original document.

Please submit the requested documentation/information to us within 30 days. Please submit all the above documents to us at the same time, quoting your file number (shown in the subject line above) on all correspondence, including on the envelope.

Should you not respond within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information we have on file at that time, and may lead to a refusal of your application. Once the application is refused, you would be able to reapply, but you would be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee. The new application would be assessed according to the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations in force at the time that the new application was received.

Sincerely,


High Commission of Canada/Haut-commissariat du Canada

Hello everyone,
My application is in process from June 6 2014. I ordered Notes last week and Visa office's reply was this:
1. The consent of xxxxxxxx's is required to process your request. To be valid, a consent must be signed, dated, and indicate to whom authority is given with the printed name of the person giving consent.
2. Following a thorough search of our information holdings, I regret to inform you that no records were found that respond to your request. Please confirm if you wish to receive copies of the permanent residence file.
Please help me find Consent form and if any other documents I should send. I also do not understand first sentence of point 2.
Thank you
Consent form is available here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5744E.pdf
How to fill it https://docs.google.com/document/d/1W-pM8FYbZBC4HFmqGS1alnD_YHCbYz5HRBVsXa33wkk/edit

Permanent residence file of the applicant will contain the info you need so it is okay to get it.

Did you have your marriage in Afghanistan or Pakistan? If Pakistan then you need to submit urdu nikkah nama and accertified translated copy of it ... if you can have a.marriage registration certificate from NADRA that would help you a lot as well. No need to panic ... just submit these to them withon 30 days ...

Hello,

I came back to this form after a while. Wanted to provide an update. My spouse's wait is over and she is living here with me now.

Few updates:
My spouse was visiting me here in Canada on a Visit visa when she received a passport request. I emailed CIC and requested if I could send the passport from Canada to UK and once they grant visa she will exit Canada to US and return for her permanent residency process.

They accepted my request and I sent her passport to UK from Canada and they send the passport back with the PR visa. We crossed the border and the process was completed.

However keep in mind it is illegal to send passport out of Pakistan by mail but not illegal to send passport out of Canada. Therefore I was able to do this.

Thanks

Salaam to all ,

Dear Members i need help My wife remedical will be on 2nd september i hope after remedical would be ppr1 and 2 my question is regarding my daughter who is 10 months old I am canadian citizen already applied for my daughter citizenship certificate CIC london ask for my daughter Birth certificate now i am confuse how my daughter will travel with her mother she does not have any travel document should i apply pakistani passport for my daugther in case cic added my daughter as dependent or should i apply for Limmited Vlidity passport .where should i apply LVO OR ISLAMABAD.

You will need to apply for the citizenship certificate of your child. Once file submitted you can apply any time after for the passport. I don't think you will be able to apply for LVP before applying citizenship for your child. Consult one of the consulates and they will help you answer your questions. Thanks

What's the best way to update new address for sponsor; I have a representative (lawyer) and all the mail goes to him. Should I email LDVO ?
yes address change can be emailed or faxed to the Visa office.

Or sponsor in Canada can call the CIC Call centre and update it via agent
