Updating application

[shakira2009]

Hi all,

This is my situation:
- I'm a Mexican citizen living in Japan since 1998
- I applied for PR as a skilled worker in 2003, by sending all forms and documents to the Consulate in Manila
- This year the Canadian Consulate in Japan started processing immigration cases, so I got my papers transferred to Japan and a new file number in April 2009

Recently I received a letter requesting to submit updated forms: general application (IMM0008), family information (IMM5406), background information (Schedule 1) and proof of funds.

1. Do I need to submit another police clearance certificate? I sent one in the original application (back in 2004). Even if the letter from the consulate does not request this, is it better to provide one, given that 5 years have passed? Or should I wait until the PR visa is about to be granted?

2. I'm now married to a Canadian citizen who I met in 2006. Do I need to send background info of my husband (e.g. employment records, bank statements)? or just his photos would be fine? Btw, my husband is registered as an individual citizen at the same Consulate that's taking care of my application.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Many views but no replies.... Ok, can anybody tell me the answer to the first question only???

In order to update my file... Do I need to submit another police clearance certificate, or should I wait until the PR visa is about to be granted?

I'm sure there are people out there who had to update their application, I just need your advice on this.

Thanks!
