Urgent! Spousal Application "Family Registration Certificate"

[mohsan456]

Hey guys, we just got a response for my wife from CIC requesting some additional documents along with the Scheduled A background form.

1) Client Information. Family Registration Certificate

She is from Pakistan and I don't think she has ever made a FRC because she has never needed one. She always used her B-Form wherever it was required of Birth Certificate.

My question is Do we need to goto NADRA office and get her a FRC. What are the steps in obtaining it.

Also I read on the websites that you can get an FRC issued with your spouse or siblings. Since I'm not in pakistan right now. Is it okay for her to get one that involves siblings. Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm in the same situation as you...

My wife received a request for the "Family Registration Certificate."
It looks like applying for the FRC is an easy process through NADRA's website: http://id.nadra.gov.pk/family-registration-certificate/

The thing is, NADRA gives 2 options for the FRC:
1) with parents/siblings
2) with spouse/children

I am unsure which one CIC is wants, they have not stated explicitly in the request, and it was not requested in the country specific docs...

A little update:
I'm still unsure which FRC we're supposed to submit (spouse/children or parents/siblings) so we've decided to go for both... That way CIC can use whichever on it needs.

1. Applying for the spouse/children certificate was very easy through NADRA's website. My wife's CNIC profile already had me listed as her husband so it verified my CNIC number as her husband's without a problem.
We do not have children so I don't know how that play out for someone who does.
Now it's being reviewed by NADRA and I should receive an email once it's complete.

2. Applying for the parents/siblings certificate on the NADRA site was problematic.
There were no problems in verifying her parents since her mother/father's details are already linked to her CNIC profile.
But when entering her siblings' CNIC numbers in the application, they could not be verified since the siblings were not directly linked to my wife's CNIC profile.
So this means she could either proceed with applying online for the FRC with her parents only (which is not complete), or she would have to go to a NADRA centre to have her siblings' information linked to her CNIC profile.

So my wife's family will be looking into the matter, and hopefully I can give an update on how it all goes.

maybe im too late, CIC would only be interested in FRC that shows you and your spouse and children. they dont care to see you parents in FRC if you are only sponsoring your spouse and any of your children if you have any.

did they ask for family registration certificate in the express entry program or sponsorship program?

I also have a query regarding FRC. I recently submitted a paper based application for PR to CIO Sydney NS. In lieu of birth certificates for my family, I submitted FRC which includes myself, my spouse and two kids. However, I'm really worried these days since I read on the forums that a couple of people got their entire application package returned due to not sending birth certificates. For applicants from Pakistan FRC is the most authentic document to establish proof of relationship and it can also be verified from the QR and bar code through Pak government website. I've also applied for NADRA birth certificates for all family members which I plan to send through raising a web form since I've not yet received my AOR. I'm a bit relieved to know that CIC is actually asking for FRC from Pakistani immigrants

What if the husband is a foreign national and the marriage took place abroad? How to get an FRC in that case?

 

[mansoor123]

For FRC, does the primary candidate have to be the applicant for FRC? I am the primary candidate for immigration and but on our FRC my husband's name is written as the applicant name. Do i have to be the applicant in this case?
