But this section is applicable to him, he is referring to contact info on IMM008 which states:

Yes in that section in the IMM008 form you do have to write your address. But did you strike and put N/A to all the other sections that mention representative? If you didn't they might have misunderstood and thought that the address was the representative. Its important to clarify what does not apply to you. F

Oh yeah agreed, definitely put NA in anything that doesn't apply to you, especially the checklist. It's been a while since I filled out the forms but I only recall the contact info being the only place mentioning the representative (aside from the representative form).

hello everyone,

well i just got my application package returned to me today Sad well it's again the use of Representative form is missing and it was so silly but tricky! . it stated the use of Representative form is missing as my application seems to indicate that am using a representative They referred to form IMM0008 in the contact information section highlighted the instruction line that reads if you wish to authorize the release of information to a representative indicate their email and mailing address in this section.

i don't have a representative, apparently my mistake is that i put my address there.

my question is should this whole section be left blank or write N/A or only the address line should be left blank. this section is very confusing i thought it's just my contact information! !

please someone let me know asap i want to send it back by tomorrow am. !

thanks and your help is much appreciated

Smh - I know how you feel because my package was also retuned - I can also relate to the confusion in this section too, it's funny because in this section I too left it blank, but when our package was return I checked it over again And we realized from this same section you are talking about I should be adding the contact information of the the representative , in our case I am the representative (sponor) and it's ok to be your sponsored person representative by indicating your sponsor's Mailing address and email in that section.
Thank God I did that ( because I kept reading the question over and over again) on the second submission of our return package that's when I made the revisions.
These forms are a headache and can be really confusing - i would think if your not using a representative i don't see why you can't put N/A .......like serious they should know there's not a representative being used in your application - you need to get this done and out ASAP like I did yesterday
Good luck and again I know exactly how you feel

so looks like that this wasn't the only issue that they returned your application for? . so wasit mentioned in their notes with the returnthat this was also another issue. in other words ifyou hadn't noticed this they would have returned your application again.where i'm going with that ; is they rush to send it back as soo as they find a missing part without checking the whole package?
 
This confuses me as to why an application would be sent back just because the Contact Info was completed. It states in this section to indicate the representative's email & address in this section AND on the IMM5476 form. So if the IMM5476 form was not sent in, wouldn't they realize that the contact info that was listed is that of the applicant?
I completed this section, did not send in a IMM5476 form and I also put N/A in that section on my check list.
Do you think it will be okay? It's so confusing!!

- If you wish to authorize release of information from your application to a representative, indicate their email and mailing address(es) in this section and on the IMM5476 form

Exactly !!! If I didn't notice the contact section was incorrect my package would be coming back again you would think....... If they are going to send back the package then send it back indicating all thats needed, I don't know if you noticed in the letter they send with your package...it clearly states something like this " we are sending back your package as incomplete for missing form IMM?? But this does mean your package is complete after you send it back, we might still find some discepencies and can send it back again "
Like seriously are you kidding me CIC !!!!

Let's just hope our packages are ok and lets get this ball rolling - 3 weeks has been wasted and now Am October Applicant 2015 instead of September 2015 -

Yeah it's only 3 weeks - With this forever process, 3 weeks is damn long delay !!!!

Hi TraceyCA64
Yes it's very confusing and silly if you ask me - these people need to issues visas instead of worrying about nonsense like this.

You put N/A on the checklist so I think that should be good enough

I'm a Canadian and my common law boyfriend is from Antigua, I was just approved to be the sponsor and now waiting for Step 2 for his Permanent Residence. My understanding is that his papers were sent to Trinidad, does any know how long it takes? We were told his papers started processing June 24; also will he have to go to Trinidad for an interview? My boyfriend lives now in Antigua and we cant afford too much for him to travel .. Ive already saved up for his trip to Canada if he gets approved.

Thanks
