Hi all

My husbands application was returned today - we got the usual letter for not including his daughters IM008/5406/PCC checks and identify docs.

The problem is she is 22 and was 22 at the time we submitted the application, she is not disabled and is a dual US/British Citizen living in New York. I panicked and checked the docs in case I entered her DOB M/D/Y or D/M/Y as her bday is Jan 12 2001 - meaning if they looked at it the canadian way of M/D/Y this would still make her 21 - but on IMM5406 her DOB is listed correctly as 2001/01/12 YYYY/MM/DD

She wasn't included as a dependent in the application, she was only listed on 5406 - I could understand if she was included as a dependent - that would align with the reason for rejection - we included her, but didnt supply any docs for her - but that's not the case at all, she is just listed in additional family information as instructed for non dependents.

I am at a loss here - we have followed the guide and done everythnig correctly yet the app was still returned. I want to cry as I feel the last 6 weeks were a waste.

I have just done the IRCC checklist for dependent children - and lo and behold its come back that she ISNT A DEPENDENT.
This is really frustrating - like someone just read the dates wrong and clicked return.

In the letter I have a UCI number - which I assume is mine as letter was addressed to me as a sponsor.
Should I resubmit and then raise a webform with UCI with a copy of her passport which clearly states she is 22?
I just feel like if I submit again it's going to get the same sloppy review.

If anyone has any similar experience it would be helpful. I have resubmitted, and sent a webform with my UCI number as reference
