Hello,

My wife received a letter today from Missisuaga visa office about her pr application under the family class. The letter contains a warning and a slightly strict tone, which I don't understand because all information is correct so far. It's an outland application, and in her application, she put her residential address back home as the residential and my address in Canada as her mailing address, which many people do. The letter is the following:

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
As per Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugees Protection Act (“the Act”), in order for you to receive
permanent residence an officer must be satisfied that both you and your applicable family members are not
inadmissible and meet the requirements of the Act.
Furthermore, Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that: “A person who makes an
application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a
visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.”
After a preliminary review of your application, the following has been deemed required:
Please provide the current residential address for yourself and your dependent family member (if applicable). You
must report any changes to your address, telephone number(s) and email address immediately throughout the
processing of your application.
:
> Medical: Complete or provide proof of completion of the Immigration medical examination. You are
required to complete an Immigration Medical Examination in support of your application for permanent residence.
This requirement cannot be waived. Instructions for your new medicals have been sent to you separately. Note: For
applications that have a non-accompanying dependent on file, the dependent is still required to undergo a medical
examination.
This must be received at this office by: 2025/05/29

As a reminder, you are required to have all your family members be examined as part of the process of applying for
permanent residence in Canada, even if they will not come to Canada with the principal applicant. This examination
of your non accompanying dependent is in accordance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulation
section 70(1)(e).
If you are unable to submit the requested document(s), you must notify our office before the due date with an
explanation and proof as to why you are unable to submit the documents.
If we do not receive a response from you within the allotted time, a decision will be made based on the
information on your file, which could result in the refusal of your application.

>> What I don't understand is why the tone is so harsh if it's a simple ADR request?
>>In her case, they asked for a medical request, and she completed it 2 days ago. Why are they asking upfront, as it is not needed in spousal sponsorship?
>> Do I need to take it seriously, such as getting a lawyer? How do I answer the request?

1. It's legalistic-bureaucratic, not harsh - and it contains straight restatement of fact that any parts not done will result in refusal.
2. This is not an upfront medical request - it is giving you time to do it. Most likely, they did not see the medical results from a few days ago before they sent (and sometimes they repeat some requirements to be sure). To be certain, you should provide some proof you completed the medical.
3. Probably no lawyer needed as this seems somewhat routine. But address should be up to date, and while it may be boilerplate, I have to ask - any dependants that have not been examined?

Thanks, no, she doesn't have any children or a previous marriage. As they ask for the address of her and the dependent, should I include my(the sponsor's) address too?

No, not needed for sponsor here - it's for her address and children, etc.

I asked because although the language about dependant is standard boilerplate, it is also legal warning to applicant that any dependants not included will cause problems.

[And although unlikely - there have been sponsors who don't know about children from previous marriages. Or even previous marriages.]

Thanks a lot, Man, even if she does, which I am not aware of, I am not sponsoring another man's child anyway :).
