Hi,

Anybody on this forum, who applied to sponsor their parents in 2010 or 2011, will be kind enough to post the sample letter or document checklist, they received from CIC, for submitting additional documents within 90 days. I am just curious what documents are requested in that "doc request letter with 90 days"?

Another question: Does CIC routinely ask again for option C, notice of assessments etc. from year sponsor applied to Current year to check that sponsor is still meeting LICO?

Thanks,
Corrie

Parent(s) or grandparent(s) sponsorship


CPC-CTD-Ottawa <[email protected]>

 

 

 

CPC Mississauga
P.O. Box 6100, Station A
Mississauga, ON
L5A 4H4


Dear SPONSOR:

 

 


This letter is in reference to your application to sponsor your parent(s) or grandparent(s).  We are now ready to begin processing your sponsorship application and require additional information.

This letter has been system generated and has been sent to the most recent address available for your file.  This means that if you have authorized a representative to act on your behalf or if you have changed your mailing address without notifying Citizenship and Immigration Canada, this letter may not have been sent to the correct mailing address.

Please submit all forms and documents listed in the attached document checklist.  Only complete applications, consisting of all forms and documents on the checklist, will be considered for processing. Complete applications will be processed in the order in which they are received at the Case Processing Centre - Mississauga (CPC-M).

The principal applicant noted in the original sponsorship application is:
This is the principal applicant that should be noted on the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008).

A copy of this letter and the complete application must be submitted within 90 days of the date of this letter to: 
CPC Mississauga
P.O. Box 6100, Station A
Mississauga, ON
L5A 4H4


You may obtain the forms listed in the attached checklist on our Web site at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/3998-temp.aspIt is important to note that you must NOT complete the Visa Office Specific Instructions.  You must use the attached document checklist.

If after 90 days, we have not received the complete application, we will conclude that your parent(s)/grandparent(s) is no longer interested in immigrating to Canada.  Your sponsorship application will then be closed. If you have already submitted the fee for the application for permanent residence for your parent(s)/grandparent(s), it will be refunded.

Contacting our Office
You must contact CPC-Mississauga if you wish to:

·         withdraw your sponsorship application;
·         inform us of a change in personal circumstances in your family, such as a birth or adoption of a child, a marriage, a divorce or a death;
·         pay additional fees, including the Right of Permanent Residence fee;
·         request a refund of fees related to your existing/previous sponsorship application;
·         appoint or change your immigration representative(s).

If one of the situations listed above applies, you may contact CPC-M via the address above or through our Web site at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives-apply-after.asp

Police Certificates
We strongly recommend that your parent(s)/grandparent(s) take steps now to obtain their police certificates to avoid future delays. They must obtain an original police certificate from each country or territory where they have lived for six consecutive months or longer since reaching the age of 18. It is their responsibility to contact the police or relevant authorities and in many countries this process takes time.  Instructions and information on obtaining a police certificate from any country can be found on our Web site at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp.

Once obtained, the police certificates can either be sent with the complete application or when the visa office requests them. Do not send police certificates separately from the application or they will be returned.

Right of Permanent Residence Fee
We strongly recommend that you pay and submit proof of payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee with the complete application. By doing so, it will reduce the processing time of the application. For further information on how to make a payment, please visit the Pay the Fee section in our instruction guide: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5196ETOC.asp#pay-fee.

Mode of communication
A valid email address should be included on the application for permanent residence for your parent or grandparent.  CIC will communicate using this e-mail address. Should communication with our office be possible only by regular mail, this should be indicated in a cover letter accompanying the application.  All contact with our office should be via the same communication method, unless otherwise instructed.

Current Status in Canada
Please note that if your parent(s)/grandparent(s) are currently in Canada on a super visa, their status in Canada is not affected by submitting this application for permanent residence.

It is the responsibility of your parent(s)/grandparent(s) to maintain legal temporary resident status while in Canada. For further information, please visit Extend your stay in Canada at:http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/extend-stay.asp.

Sincerely,

CPC-Mississauga

They do it once with the additional documents request. Usually they don't ask for any LICO proof again unless your local visa office gets notified that your income has been changed.
