Hi to all.
suppose just one parent applies for super visa, does spouse (other parent) also need to provide 5257 schedule 1, even though he is not applying for super visa and not traveling. this is the wording of guide 5256 applying for temporary visitor visa (confusing, please seniors guide)

"Schedule 1 – Application for Temporary Resident Visa (IMM5257 –
Schedule 1)
Who must fill out this application form?
This form must be completed by:
you, the principal applicant;
your spouse or common-law partner (whether accompanying you to Canada or not), and
your dependent children aged 18 or over (whether accompanying you to Canada or not)."
Thanks.

IMM 5257 Schedule 1 is optional, but if you have answered YES to question 3 to 6 in the Background section, the officer will probably ask you to submit it. I'd say it's better to submit it but just wanted to clarify that it's not a mandatory document.

Hi, I was just referring to the list of documents when you apply online. Schedule is not in the mandatory list but in the section of optional documents, meaning you could submit without. However, yes you should send it as I don't see why someone would not.

"You must provide a Schedule 1 declaration. A Schedule 1 declaration is a form with questions about your personal history. You will be asked to list information such as any affiliations with organizations and any military or government service." Also in the IMM5257 form it says, if you answer yes to any of questions no 3 to 6 (Background check), you must fill 5257 Schedule 1. As for your case, are you asking if you should fill it out for your son who is minor? You don't need to fill out this form if you are less than 18 years old. Other than that, you have to.

I do not understand what you say so just to be clear, you are applying for TRV for you and your son? Are you the principal applicant and both applications are under your GCKey account? Anyhow, your son is NOT required to fill out the form IMM 5257 Schedule 1 if he is under 18 years old. I have copied in my previous post the statement on the form which indicates it is not required for minors. If you google IMM 5256, it will direct you to the TRV application guide.

In GCkey my application was approved i have visitor visa now i want to apply for my son for TRV. This application only for my son I am filling her application. I am the principal applicant. In this Schedule 1 form my details will mention or my son. I think this is important because my son is under 18 year and i am filling her application.

Thank You so much for your time

Like I said, minors don't need to fill 5257 Schedule 1. It's written black and white on the form. Check which form you are referring to as probably it's not schedule 1. If you already have a visitor visa, you are making a new application for your son only. You are not an applicant. Follow the instruction on IMM 5256 to make the application. The answer should be as if it was your son answering them.

But I am filling her application. Minors not filling own this application.
Yes, you are filling in your son's name. It's his information you put, not yours.
