Hi everyone!
My wife (a PR) and I are bringing her 6 year old daughter to Canada from The Philippines.
We got approved as sponsors (yay!) And recently got a confusing email from CIC. it's basically asking us to submit documents ONLY if we have not submitted them already. I cut and pasted them below.
The challenge is I'm not quite sure if it's mentioning these because they noticed we were missing them. Or if they just send this email to everyone.
The truth is I can't be 100% sure that all the documents below have been submitted properly.
Is there a call centre in CIC or anyone that can help us to know for sure or not if we need to submit those papers?
here are some specific questions...
1) I assume since it's a 6 year old child there is no police certificate needed?
2) I paid partial fees for the child, much less than my spouse. I forget the terminology but I think the child does not have to pay the right of permanent residence fee?
thanks everyone!!!!
