Spouse sponsorship - CRA Notice of Assessment

[dinodn]

Hello,

I am filing applications to bring my wife under spouse sponsorship category. In that, CIC wants us to submit Notice of Assessment issued from CRA. (Under Employment/Source of Income category from checklists)

I landed in Canada on February 2018 only as a PR and started working from March onwards. I didn't have to submit any tax assessments hence.

My doubt is, do I still need to get this report from CRA? I am not even sure whether I will get this report.

Please advise.

Thanks

You just landed and in the checklist.......there is a note that says if you can't provide CRA NOA........provide an explanation.......so in your case provide explanation that you just landed in 2018 and include your employment letter and payslip to show that you are working and capable to provide financially to support your spouse.

Refer......checklist

If you cannot provide a Notice of Assessment or a proof of income statement (Option C) for the most recent taxation year, you must provide an explanation on a separate sheet of paper, accompanied by relevant supporting financial documentation to show how you can support the person(s) you are sponsoring

Hello Dinodn,
What are some of the documents that you included? I followed your thread and appears your explanation without NOA worked out well.

Looking forward to your response.Thanks

I submitted my paystubs, my bank statements, credit card statements and a reference letter from my employer.
Also, a letter describing why I can't submit NOA and list of alternative documents which I mentioned above proving my financial status in Canada
Hope that helps

Hi. I just wanted to know how things went with your application? Which documents did you submit instead and did it work? if it did how long did it take to get approval?
