Call CIC and ask them if they received the documents. I called them today and they said they have received the documents and they are on file.

Hi, 


I just want to share my parents' application experience. Just in case someone might have a similar situation and are looking for answers. My parents' application was received on May 4, 2017. My husband's option C was requested on July 26, 2017 and I faxed it on July 27, 2017. I received a letter of sponsorship approval on August 4, 2017 and they are saying they will send the file to Ottawa visa office. However, a temporary public policy was issued when they changed the child dependent age limit on October 22, 2017 from below 19years old to below 22 years old. Any application after October 22, 2017 will fall into the new dependent child age limit. However, on November 2017, there was a temporary public policy to those applications received between May 3, 2017 to October 22, 2017, that dependents below 22 years old can be added to the application or can be sponsored if the parents already landed in Canada. I sent a request to add my sister who was 21 years old at the time when application was received. I got a notification in November 2017 that my parents' application was transferred to Manila. On March 8, 2018, I received a request letter to submit my sister's documents, application forms, proof of my sister's medical and all their police clearances. On March 9, 2018, I received IME forms for my parents to get their medicals done. On March 16, 2018 my parents did their medicals here in Canada as they are here under supervisa, the doctor was away and submitted their medicals on April 17, 2018. My sister did not receive and IME form so she did an upfront medical in the Philippines. I thought it wouldn't take long but the medical status showed it was under review since April 19, 2018. I emailed the Manila Visa Office why it took so long on May 10,2018, there was no response so I sent a web inquiry a week after that and there was no response. We were frustrated, I read a lot of forums and I asked about it but seemed no one to really answered me. I read in the CIC website that medical for TRV can take up to 4 weeks and up to 3 months for PR applications to review from the date it was received. I also found somewhere, where they had past surgeries or current medical conditions and some took 3 months and some 4 months for the medical to be approved. My dad has type II diabetes, he is under medication and it is controllable but I suspected it is because of that that is why it was sent for 3-month review. On July 5, 2018, I emailed RMO-Manila again, and then I called the doctor here in Canada and they said they sent it to RMO-Ottawa, so I faxed them if there is a chance that they need more than 3 months to review my parent's medical, they did not respond but yesterday July 11, 2018, the medical status changed to "passed" and today there is an invitation to pre-arrival services letter. I am hoping for a passport request very soon. Also, another unique case, my dad's NBI clearance has a "no criminal record" remark, due to a fist fight in 1980. It was filed in the prosecutor's office but never went to court, it was settled as the mother of his friend just demanded money and he just paid it. It requires an NBI explanation letter, and we secured that from NBI Main Office in Manila free of charge. I have read in other forums as long as there was no criminal case, it will be okay there are other people who got visa approved with that remark as long as you provide the NBI Explanation letter. If you have a similar experience, please feel free to contact me.

Call CIC and ask them if they received the documents. I called them today and they said they have received the documents and they are on file.
Not sure if calling would help... they even didn't start doing background check yet. I sent all docs on June 8th... I'm sure they have received it

what's up with June 5th generic email group people nobody had background check started yet???

I received an email today from IRCC requesting my mother's separation agreement from my father but there is none. They are legally separated as they don't live together since forever. They verbally agreed to continue having it that way in 2006.
What do I send to IRCC since there are no separation agreement?

You can get affidavit from Notary Public. if CIC accept then CIC will send some document.. applicant to sign

In order to continue the processing of your application, we request that you read the following and return the signed acknowledgement on this letter within 30 days.


All family members, whether accompanying or not, are required to be examined at the same time as you. The only exceptions are a spouse from whom you are legally separated but not divorced, or if you have children for whom you do not have legal custody. These persons are not required to undergo medical and background screening in connection with your immigration application. However, if they do not undergo this screening, you cannot later sponsor them as members of the Family Class as they will be described under section 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations which stipulates the following:


117(9) A foreign national shall not be considered a member of the family class by virtue of their relationship to a sponsor if:

(d) subject to subsection (10), the sponsor previously made an application for permanent residence and became a permanent resident and, at the time of that application, the foreign national was a non-accompanying family member of the sponsor and was not examined.


The decision on whether or not to have a non-accompanying family member examined is your decision. If your non-accompanying family member is examined, you may choose to sponsor them as your dependent at a later date. However, if you choose to not have your non-accompanying family member examined, the non-accompanying family will be excluded as a member of the family class. If you sponsor a non-examined non-accompanying dependent, and an officer determines that the previously non-accompanying dependent could have been examined during your own application but you chose not to make the applicant available for examination or the applicant did not appear for examination, the application will be refused pursuant to R117(9)(d).


Please complete and return the Non-Accompanying Dependent Acknowledgement within 30 days.


Thank you for your attention to this matter.
