Hello everyone!

I'm about to send the paper application to sponsor my wife to Mississauga's office and I have one question that I need help!

The document checklist does not mention the form that I need to fill up in order to submit the OWP application but just the box to tick "yes" or "no" after (I'm also including an Open Work Permit Application)

The question is: Do I need to submit any form or is not necessary? If yes, can you guys please let me know what are these forms?

I appreciate your help!

Yes, you need to submit the OWP application form and supporting documents. There's even a document checklist and barcodes you'll need to include.

You may want to review the guide before you send your app.

Awesome! I reviewed and so apparently I need to submit only the IMM 5710 (Application to Change Conditions, Extend my Stay or Remain in Canada as a Worker) or do I need to submit the rest such as the checklist, etc?

Thank you for your reply first of all!

So is the application form the IMM 5710? The supporting documents that show on the checklist are already attached from the entire sponsorship application, so I don't need to print them out again, correct? For example, passport pictures, marriage certificate, etc....

Read the form. You need to copies of passport pages, marriage certificate, and other documents. You cannot include only the form.

You linked it above, you provided the link yourself.
Read the form. You need to copies of passport pages, marriage certificate, and other documents. You cannot include only the form.
I have a link that they said in the Complete Guide (IMM 5289), they only mention form [IMM 5710]. But you said people need related documents ????(copies of passport pages, marriage certificate, and other documents)

If You couldn't provide any link, please mention it is just your opinion.
