Received an ADR from IRCC? Respond Accurately & On Time

Additional Document Request Support by Cougar Immigration

Has IRCC asked you to submit additional documents for your immigration application? Whether it’s for Express Entry, PR, a study/work permit, or sponsorship, responding to an Additional Document Request (ADR) correctly—and quickly—can make or break your case.

At Cougar Immigration, we offer professional support to help you understand, prepare, and submit the exact documents IRCC expects—within the deadline and in the right format.

 

What is an ADR (Additional Document Request)?

An Additional Document Request is a notice from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) asking for:

• Missing or incomplete documents
• Clarification on submitted forms or claims
• Updated versions of expiring documents
• Proof of relationship, work experience, education, or financial status
• Background check verifications or travel records

Failing to respond accurately or by the deadline can result in a refusal or your file being closed.

 

Common ADR Scenarios We Handle

• Proof of work experience (letters of reference, pay slips, duties)
• Identity documents (birth certificates, national ID, name change documents)
• Relationship evidence (photos, chat logs, travel records for sponsorship cases)
• Travel history clarification
• Updated medical, police clearance, or biometrics
• Missing IMM forms or inconsistencies
• Study permit or SOP clarifications
• Additional ties to home country for TRV
