Hi Folks,
Need urgent help & guidance.
Context
I had submitted my child's Sponsorship application in Canada in Feb 2017.
After sponsorship approval in March, the file was forwarded to New Delhi Visa office. So far so good.
Last week, I had received following email from Delhi Visa Office, which is very confusing & kind of self contradictory.
From many of my friends I have heard that IRCC sends such emails in batches & it is one such generic email & I need not act.
But I obviously don't want to take chances, so turning to the forum
If you could please have a look at the email excerpt below & my questions and provide your guidance & advice, I would be very grateful.
Questions
The highlighted portion of the email are where my questions centered :
Q1. My dependent Child is just less than an year old & as such RPRF fee doesn't apply to dependent children <18 years. Then why are they asking for it ?
Q2. I read the line quoted below multiple times, but I fail to decipher it :
Proof of payment of your Right of Permanent Resident Fee (landing fee) to our office in Mississauga or by your sponsor in Canada, if not already paid.
What does this mean ?...Is IRCC expecting the RPRF fee receipt to be submitted @ CPC Mississauga. ?
I don't mind paying for it, but by their own rules, RPRF doesn't apply for dependent kids. Then why are they asking for it ?
Q3. Police Clearance certificates
The second bullet point asks for 'Police Clearance certificates'. But then goes on to emphasize that its not needed for dependent children <18 yrs of age.
What I am I suppose to do here.
Q4. There is a para about 'If you are a Citizen of Afghanistan...'
This is completely out of place. My dependent child is born in India, which is very much mentioned in Application forms. Then why is the email saying 'If you are citizen of Afghanistan....'. Don't they know it already ?
Is this really a generic email ?
Q5. The bottom of the email says 'PLEASE RETURN A COPY OF THIS LETTER WITH THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS'
Its not mentioned where the requested documents are supposed to be sent...Is it CPC Mississauga or Visa Office in Delhi ?
