hi there, quick question for IMM 5645 family information, it ask to sign and date the form. but while submitting the entire application it also asks to sign and date the entire one as it will be submitting online. my question is do we have to print imm 5645, sign and scan and then submit or can i only fill imm 5645 electronically and leave the signatures blank and sign the last step of the process? thank you.

Do however you like it do.

IMM5645 needs to be fill in English and print it and then fill in your native language as well.

But my question to you - What's the big deal for you to Fill in English, Print, Fill in your native language, sign and scan then submit it.

Any information would be highly useful.

Hey , You got bio-metric request very next day! That’s wonderful! I have applied for my son(dependent child) at the same time but haven’t heard anything yet! did you mention COVID-19 ; purpose of travel - other in the 5257e form?

In most cases, you get Biometrics request immediately if you have paid the entire application fee while submitting the application.

IF you dont submit the Biometrics fee, then you receive an update later on to pay the fee and submit biometrics.
