Hi,

I have received ITA for my parents based on application in 2020, however, now they don't want to come due to some health issues. I wanted to understand if this can have some adverse effect on me as an sponsor (any short term or long term repurcussions). I am sorry if this is a stupid question but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks a lot

What is your additional document request?

Hi folks - IRCC sent email today requesting additional docs. However, I am confused. The letter was addressed to my spouse - the sponsor but has mentioned the following:

"<Mother's name>
• Proof of Relationship (DEP): As proof of relationship to your spouse please provide the Aadhaar and Voter’s ID card for yourself and your spouse. NOTE: Affidavits are not acceptable as proof of relationship. If the document originally issued by a government authority was not in English or French, please provide a certified copy of both the document in the original language [birth/marriage/divorce/death certificate] along with a certified translation in English or French."

My Q is since the letter is addressed to my spouse, I am confused if they are asking the Aadhar card and Voter ID for herself and her mom and their proof of relationship? Or, are they asking for proof of relationship between her mom and dad? We had already submitted their marriage certificate along with original application so not sure why they need this? Dad is principal applicant, Mom is dependant and my spouse is sponsor.

Looks like some of us got additional document request but it was for what we had already submitted? Aren't IRCC not checking the application fully and asking for the document again? Feels like waste of time and energy.

Its for your mother & Father.

I got an email asking for additional documents. Some makes sense, but others do not.

Proof of Relationship (Sponsor): Your birth certificate has been received as proof of your
relationship to the Principal Applicant and Dependent. If the document originally issued
by a government authority was not in English or French, please provide a certified copy
of both the document in the original language [birth/marriage/divorce/death certificate]
along with a certified translation in English or French. Additional information is required.
Please provide a copy of your <previous country> Passport and old school records.

So they received and accepted my (sponsor's) birth certificate. But this is not the very original one from the 90s, things were digitized and this was re-issued in the 2010s.

So they just want my old (non-canadian) passport to cross check?
Original birth certificate and old school records might be hard to track down, but is that what they want?

IMM 5406 (for Dependant): The Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) provided
was not completed fully. Please provide a current, completed, signed and dated
Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) for the Principal Applicant and all
dependants aged 18 and over, whether accompanying or not. Each individual must
sign their own copy of this form by hand. Sections A, B and C must be fully
completed. For Section B, please ensure that you include ALL children, including ALL
adopted, step-children, and those who are currently a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident, regardless of age. For Section C, please ensure that you include
ALL brothers and sisters including half, step-brothers/sisters and those who are
currently a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. The Name, Marital Status,
Relationship to applicant, Date of birth, Country of birth, and Address must be filled. The
street number, street name, city, postal/zip code and country are mandatory for
Canada and USA addresses. All other countries must provide the City,
Province/State/Parish and Country. Please ensure that you provide the date and place
of death (city/town, country, or territory) for any deceased family members. If any
information is not known, please enter in “Unknown”. If you are unable to provide any of
the information listed above for any individual listed in section A, B and C, you must
provide an explanation. Please ensure that you sign the form by hand and dated
once it has been printed. Please submit the most recent version of this form.

Not sure about this one. Even if I fill it out manually, the information in there would be the same. Not sure why they see it as incomplete.
Only reason I can see is my mother's parent's birthdates are unknown. In the online form, it only accepted dates (not texts), so I left it blank. In the letter of explanation, I mentioned that the dates are unknown, but I'm not sure if they read through the letter.

Resume (for Dependant): It appears that the Dependant’s Curriculum Vitæ (CV)
/Resume has not been provided. Please provide the most current CV/Resume for the
Principal Applicant and all dependants aged 18 and over. Please ensure your
CV/Resume includes information since the age of 18 and all the details of any
employment and volunteer positions held.

My mistake, I put both my father's and mother's resume in the same file. Clearly they did not read through it, and maybe didn't scroll down to my mother's section.

Hi I also received an invite, we sent all the paperwork and we received a notification that was declined because one of the forms was not properly filled out
Can I appeal? Or do you have any affordable lawyer that could guide me on this?

sorry to hear that, when did you submit the documents? Did you receive additional documents request before they decline you? Did they mention which form was not properly filled out? usually they will give you a chance to resubmit the form

Like @KEN2000 said, usually they send additional forms request and will say if something is not right and give you a chance. Can you copy/paste what IRCC wrote on the email?

Hi - today morning - I got 2 emails from CPC Mississauga requesting some additional documents (which I had uploaded when I submitted my PGP application). Then within 2 hours, I got 2 more emails from CPC Mississauga with the subject line "Recall: Citizenship and Immigration Canada - CPCM - Communication to client".

Does this mean I don't need to submit the documents they asked for?

This also happened to me. They requested what i have already submitted and then they recalled the message in 2 mins...
