Revise or Extend an SINP Nomination

A Nomination Certificate is valid for six months. An amendment to a Nomination Certificate includes a time extension and/or a revision.

If you’d like to amend your Nomination Certificate you must submit a Request for Revision and/or Extension to the SINP through OASIS. The request must come from you or your authorized representative.

We may consult with IRCC to determine what stage of assessment your application is in, and whether a change may be made at that time. Any changes to the conditions of a nomination will be communicated to IRCC.

Request a Revision and/or Extension to your Nomination Certificate:

A revision may be made to information provided to IRCC on your Nomination Certificate. This could happen if there's a change in employment or passports, or if there's a request made by IRCC or the SINP.

Revisions will not be made to the Nomination Certificate to add or remove a spouse (if married or divorced) or dependent children (if born after nomination).

A revised Certificate of Nomination is not required in order for the nominee to proceed with his or her application for permanent residence as long as the pregnancy and/or birth has been disclosed directly to the processing IRCC visa post.

Requests for a revision and/or extension must include the reason for the request and include documents required to support and complete that request.

Requests for an extension must be made within 90 days of the nomination expiring. The expiry date for a nomination is located on the nomination letter. You must provide a detailed explanation as to the reason for the expiry in your request.

An extension of a nomination certificate will be valid for three months.

A maximum of two extensions may be granted for reasons that delayed the submission of a Permanent Resident Application (e.g. if IRCC requests an extension or requires re-application, if there are delays in obtaining a police certificate, a change to employment status, technical delivery errors on the SINP's part, etc.). Only one of those extensions may be granted to nominees who are having difficulty accumulating the funds needed to pay IRCC processing fees.

There is no guarantee that a request for an extension and/or revision will be approved.

The SINP reserves the right to provide shorter extension periods in some instances.
