Questions about the sponsorship application forms

[ilya.can.visa]

Hi all,

I have some more questions about the application forms for Sponsorship + PR + OWP. This is an inland application.

Personal history:

• There are 2 specific sections, one with "Living with spouse" and another "Visiting spouse". We are living together, but for a period of time since relationship started we visited. Should both be specified, or these are mutually exclusive, either one or the other? The fact is that we visited each other first, then I proposed, and then we started living together
• Can my wife's periods of studying and working overlap? e.g. she studied and worked at the same time for some periods of time

Schedule A declaration

• The "Validate" button gives error if signature field is empty prior to printing. The signature is just electronic typing signature or does it require real signature or both?

Open Work Permit

• Should we enter "Not Applicable" for name of employer and address of employer?
• Intended location of employment, leave empty or "Not Applicable" or ON Toronto and address "Not Applicable"?
• My occupation in Canada will be: Not Applicable?
• Duration of expected employment: Not Applicable or leave blank?
• Background information #2: Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada? Is this the visitor's visa?

Additional Family Information

• My wife's father's full name is known from translated birth certificate, but she doesn't know any other information as she never knew him. Should the name be filled out at all? If the name is filled out then it also asks for other information, but it is not known

Thanks in advance

If it is an inland application, you do not need to write down anything about when you visited your spouse. You just write N/A. The question is if you are not living together, when did you visit each other. Since you two are living together, you leave it blank.

Question 2: yes they can overlap. Many people work and study at the same time

For the signature, you type your name. You put the date in the good section. You validate. You print it. You SIGN the form next to the typed signature.

For OWP:

Question 1: you write not applicable
Question 2: intended location of employement, you can write the city where you plan to move in
Question 3: you can put an occupation if your career is specific. Like my husband wrote pilot because that's what he's been trained for.
Question 4: N/a
Background: whether or not you have ever applied for a work permit, study permit. I don't think a visitor visa counts.

For the father question, I would write the name. Then write N/A in the other section and add an explanation on a separate sheet.
