I have been married to my husband since September 2009, he is a Canadian Citizen. I moved to Canada with my three children in December 2010 to be with him. I applied for Permanent Residence under the Family Class Sponsorship in April 2011. I sent all the forms required from information I gain from CIC website. I then in September 2011 call the CIC call centre to see if I could get any information regarding my application, and spoke to a gentlemen who was very helpful. He told me that I need to applied for restoration of temporary resident status. I told him that I had not seen this application nor did any document I had filled in mention this application would need to be file as well, and he told me, you wouldn't be able to find it, but he would direct me to the correct form. He helped me fill the forms out and I paid what he said I should and sent the documents off.
I sent the application Xpresspost, which was lost by Canada Post, which I could prove with a print out off the Canada Post website. I then resent the application which was received by Vegreville on the 25th October 2011.
I have in the last two days received letters from CIC, Vegreville stating the following.
