Thanks yasheen! I have question..since I got LC2 already and as a princinpal is there any form that I have to fill up? Actually my skilled worker husband is only my dependent here but since I acknowledge his children in the philippines as my step daughter (Not to sponsor them) still they must have to submit information requested by immigration. Thanks pls help!
Hi Isalyn,
Lets make it clear ha, your dependent is in Canada right, and your step duaghter is not included in your application.
Please check the page 9 of your husband INSTRUCTION OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE.He will be the one to include the names of his dependant, don s question mo kung may form k p n ifill up,s pgkakaalam ko wala n kc naisulat mo n ung dependent mo when you submitted your PR application.Yong husband mo n lng ang mag iinclude sa kanila.
If your husband is here in Canada,I dont think na ang CEM ang mag sesend ng kit nya,d ba dpat ung CIC here in Canada kasi nandito sya.
You better call CIC to make it sure.

Hi Isalyn, i dont know that your dependent is already here in Canada. Ysheen is right the CIC here should be the one contacting your husband not CEM. Maybe you should upsate tour husbands address or better yet call CIC.

daphnelella,
this is part of the CEM email to my husband and minor son:

This refers to the application for permanent residence made by your relative under the Live-in Caregiver Program. Your relative in Canada has identified you as a family member.

All family members of applicants under this Program must be examined before the in-Canada applicant can become a permanent resident of Canada. The definition of Family members and who must be examined is outlined in the enclosed Instructions for Permanent Residence for Overseas Family Members of In-Canada Applicants under the Live-In Caregiver Program.

What this means is that even if you are not applying to be issued a visa to go to Canada at this time, you must still submit all documentation required to examine your admissibility to Canada. This includes undergoing a medical examination and providing police certificates and any other documentation reasonably required to assess your background.

You and your dependents must:

1. Complete the IMM 008 Generic Application Form for Canada, IMM 5669 Schedule A-Background/Declaration and IMM 5406 Additional Family Information forms. You will find these forms by going to our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/index.asp.

Our office strongly advises you to complete the application forms by computer and to generate a legible, 2D barcode by clicking on the “Validate” button at the top and bottom of the form. This will also perform an initial check to ensure that you have properly completed the forms.

2. Send all the documents listed in the enclosed Checklist of Documents for LC2. Make sure to indicate your relative in Canada's full name and file number as mentioned in subject of this message.

3. Submit all the forms and documents in the checklist to this office via mail within sixty (60) days. See complete address at the bottom.

If you do not comply within 60 days, our office will notify the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville that you have failed to present yourself and, if applicable, your dependents for examination. This could affect the processing of the applicant's In-Canada application for permanent residence and may result in the refusal of his/her application.

Should you and/or your family members have a change in mailing address and/or telephone number please inform this office immediately for further actions.


Sincerely,

It has become longer this time not only for live in caregivers: 8-9 months for live in caregivers and spousal sponsorship (first stage approval); H&C Cases and Refugees 6-7 months. It is summer and officers may also be taking advantage of the summer to take their holidays and be with their families. Hopefully when they come back they have unwind and have the energy to tackle the applications :)
hi. im from the philippines and my uncle sponsored me via live in caregiver. Can i ask how long will it take to process my application in canadian embassy if i applied this week? I have the contract and other documents stated that i should start asap. thanks. im so worried that this processing will take several months or even years. hope theres someone who can help me and also experiences what i am experiencing.thanks a lot..really need ur help:(
