Hi everyone, I need your help!

So I submitted my application for sponsorship last month and I just got an email from HK for document request.

I just dont understand because apparently every document that they're asking for was submitted with the whole package.
So this is what they emailed me:

PART ONE – DOCUMENT REQUEST

I'm like confused... Are they actually asking for all that documents again or am I misunderstanding it? :'( :'( ???
 
I hope someone can answer my question, I'm freaking oouuuuttt :(
Cause I'm currently in Canada so getting these docs all over again would be a pain in the ass
but if they're actually asking for it I would get them done right away so yeah I just need to knoww

Hey don't panic !! If you read thoroughly in every beginning of the requests it says
'If not Yet Submitted " so if you have dont worry about it ...go through it make sure that you did submit everything ...
 
We're also through HK and got the same letter. One thing I did was review through the docs to see if I missed anything etc. When I first submitted them I was rushed and a few things didint really make sense. Since finding this forum its been good to read what others have done, and have a better understanding of the process.

One note is ensure the photos are within their specifications. They're really picky about them being spot on.

Best of luck!

Your pal,
Mr. Lucky

OMG that's good to know. I freaked out and now I'm glad that I just misunderstood! Lol, I'm pretty sure they're all good but I have a copy of what I submitted so I'm going through them now. Thanks so much!!

It is a generic message. It looks like they specifically want IMM5669 with more information. If you submitted everything else hat is listed in the email, then all you need to send is the updated forms they requested.

the principal applicant and all dependents 18 and over, whether accompanying you to Canada or not:
Ø Updated Schedule A Background/Declaration form (IMM 5669): You must declare your personal history and addresses from the age of 18 (not only the past 10 years).
Ø Updated Additional Family Information form (IMM 5406)
 
BTW when did you apply? There are 2 of us in the October cohort through the HKVO and it would be interesting to track other HKVO applications. Especially since it seems they're speeding up!

Yes, HKVO (not sure of other VOs) is a pain. IMM 5669 back to 18 years old. Seems to happen to a lot of people, myself included. They might as well put that down in the form as a requirement (or in the region specific requirement) to avoid the extra work for everyone and potential delay.
