Hello,

We submitted our PR application on April 12, 2019 under the common law outland class. Sponsor is Canadian, applicant is American. Our entire application package was returned to the sponsor on May 2nd because "the following identity documents do not meet the requirements for processing: BIRTH CERTIFICATE." We realized our mistake in that we did not submit a birth certificate from the Quebec Directeur de l'état civil du Québec...and just the sponsor's church birth certificate. The letter they sent back did include a UCI # and an application # at the top.

Questions for the group:
1. Do we need to just resubmit the application package as is with only the missing document included?

2. OR....Do we need to refill all of the original documents (with new dates, forms, barcode validation, etc.)?

3. Since we have a UCI #, can we link this to an online application and just upload the missing form? If so what is the link to do that?

4. I am planning on calling them to see what is going on. Is that a good next step?

5. Any other advice here on how to proceed?

Thanks everyone!

You need to basically start again, and verify that if any forms have changed, you download the new ones and start again.

There is no online application because the entire package was returned to you. They did not start processing the application, they returned the entire thing to you.

1 and 2. If any forms have been updated, you need new ones. If not, same ones.

3. No.

4. Zero point in calling them. Just re-submit the app.

Thanks for this info. Would I need to pay an additional fee or just submit a copy of the original receipt. I'd hate to have to pay again.

Why should you pay again? You already paid the fees, you were not declined. You will need to resend your applications with the corrections, I would think that your proof of payment receipt is in that application also? Send everything again and make sure you follow the instructions that was given to you in this thread;) GOOD LUCK... I'm also expecting them to re send my application;)

Yea...makes sense. I'll resubmit based on this. Hope it works out this time. Thanks!
