Regarding question 9 on IMM5669 "Membership of association with organizations".

In the past, my wife was a member of the Communist Party of China. Like a lot of students in China, she joined to help advance her career after graduation from university. Since moving to Canada, she has not had any involvement with the party or paid party dues. Moreover, she doesn't have any interest in being a party member now that she intends to live in Canada permanently.

Would past membership in the party have cause any issue for our sponsorship application?

Thanks everyone for all your help.

You just honestly put this information in the form with an explanation that she is no more involved in the politics. The past membership will not go against her.

The only issue could be a longer processing time for the security/background checks.

No definitely not.

I absolutely did not mean my comment as a suggestion to not disclose that information, and meant it simply to say that they can expect a longer processing time.

Better to have longer processing time instead of being denied for misrepresentation ;)

Hi PodaSK, I hope this message finds you well! I wish to ask about your wife's PR approval. Was her PR approved? Did her past membership of the communist party not affect her PR approval? I am in the same situation and waiting for my PR application. I hope you can respond me! Many thanks!

Der PodaSK,
Wow, I cannot believe that you will respond to my message! I appreciate it very much! Your response gives me more hope because I have now waiting for my Non-EE PNP for 20 months! Everything was passed except the security. I had past Communist Party membership, so I worried at the last step! If you have any knowledge about it, could you please advise me! I am very grateful! On this occasion, I wish you and your family a Happy New Year and all the best! :)

Yea you are required to if not you could get a ban for misrepresentation. Also rules have tightened when it comes to China so outcome a decade ago may not represent current processing.
