Your sponsorship application is for permanent residence in Canada.
I submitted additional docs and got automated reply: " If you've submitted new information, we’ll update your file without replying."

Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum i have been silently reading the forum. Unfortunaty i am also stuck in this hectic wait. This is the reply i got from the inquiry that i made on march 25th to LVO regarding my husbands sponsorship. I informed them about the birth of my second child. Both my children are canadian born with birth certificates. My question is i have the birth certificate for my newborn but no passport yet. Can i just email a scanned copy of the BC and the additional forms and not the passport. Im so confused i called the call centre and they were too busy today to take calls and i also called my MP and his secretary said she doesnt know the answer :S....

Dear Madam/Sir,

This is in response to your enquiry regarding the addition of a dependant.

As part of an effort to improve our service, your application has been transferred to the visa office in London, UK for processing.

A new dependant can be added during the processing of an application. Please note that the eligibility of new dependents will be assessed by the visa officer.

In order to add the child to an application for permanent residence at this office, we require the following documents:
processing fee for your child (if accompanying you to Canada)
your child’s long form birth certificate
copy of your child’s valid passport
4 recent photographs of your child
updated IMM0008 Generic for yourself (which must include your new dependant’s information) and updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself and your spouse
a “Certificat de Sélection du Québec” for your child ( in his or her name), if you
You must submit a new application form including this new dependant on the applicant’s form for permanent residence.

Please consult our website for information regarding a new dependant’s eligibility for Canadian citizenship:
If your child has a claim to Canadian citizenship, please provide us with the following documents:
IMM5406
Your dependant’s long form birth certificate
A copy of the Canadian passport

Please note, the processing fee for your child (if accompanying you to Canada) cannot be accepted in the UK. It must be paid in Canada. The receipt should be sent to CPC-Mississauga, who will update the payment information for the file.

Copies of the original documents with original certified translations into English or French are required. All documents must be sent by mail to the address noted below.

When requested your child must undergo a medical examination. Be aware that even non-accompanying dependants must undergo medical examinations. To limit the expense to you, and to maximise the medical validity, we ask that you do not undertake new medical examinations until requested.

Application forms and photo specifications

Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by email or post to the applicant at the email or mailing address provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details. If you need to contact us, please use the below contact information. Please quote your file number(s) on all correspondence, including the envelope, and include “FC – ISLAMABAD” in the subject line of the email/letter.

As soon as we are ready to proceed with your application, we will be in contact to request any additional documentation that we may require. Every effort will be made to process applications equitably, however, it may be several months before your application is reviewed for further processing. We request that you consider this before you make contact with us. We are focusing our efforts on processing files and may not be able to respond to routine case enquiries.

As your application is now being processed in London, UK, we request that you direct all your correspondence to our office in London, rather than our office in Islamabad. The office in Islamabad will not be able to respond to enquiries related to your file, and the submission of requested documents to the office in Islamabad will delay the processing of your application. We appreciate your patience and cooperation.

Thank you and kind regards,

Another reason why immigration consultants/lawyers are useless! I know someone who applied for spousal in 2009 and lived in US for more than an year, they did not attach their PCC and it delayed their case by an year. First time through, the finger prints weren't clear enough and FBI sent a letter back indicating they need to redo the finger prints (wasting a few months).

Not trying to scare you, but it might be beneficial for you to get it done or perhaps email London and tell them your situation and ask them for advice (not sure).
i will email CIC london plus apply for FBI clearance as well
