Hi, I have a question. My husband was born in UAE as per his birth certificate but his passport says pakistan cuz Arabic is not used in Pakistan as mode of communication. So his parents put Pakistan in place of birth everywhere. Will that be a big issue? We have already submitted application and have generated webform for now that we are getting it changed

Personally I think, once the passport is an original and is in the records of whichever country you are safe as in can be tracked and in the system.

But might not be so to, don't wana mislead you. Please take what ever precautions you plan to.

If was me would go for paper based from my lil experience on pilot programmes. Atleast you would have loads of relevant guides easily from these platforms.
On the other hand might be faster but not much info or help as no one knows much about it. You might be the first maybe.

I just have 2 queries now.Sorry if I have already asked them.

1. For Form 5562 - travel history, this needs to be filled by PA but there's section - B, which is for spouse of PA. I'm her spouse and sponsor both ( PR holder), should I fill that ? Is there any links that provide info about whether to fill this section or not ? I have got mixed response for this question.

2. For Form 5476 - Use of representative, I'm sponsor and I'll be representative as well. For section - D in the form, there are 2 boxes for signature. 1 for PA and 2nd for spouse of PA - should I sign in this second box? Again I got mixed response for this

Hi I am looking to get married later this year, and am trying to find out all the information required to apply for spousal sponsorship.
I am a PR and my fiancée is in India. Could someone point me towards where I can get started? Also are most of you applying this by yourselves or do you take lawyers/immigration agency's help?

1. Yup section B is for you the spouse/sponsor. Yes, both my wife and I filled that form. So you should fill that of Section B.

2. For this form we did not include in our application I didn't feel it necessary since both of us could still check with our UCI'S on ECAS. And was also trying to avoid more forms and paper work. lol.

Thank you. My travel history after becoming PR is as follows:

In Oct 2019, I became PR - was here in Canada for 10 days only.

After becoming PR, I went to back to India for 6 months.

Came here in Mar 20 and was here till June 20.

Went back to India in June 20 and came back here in June 21.

So do I have to mention my travel back to Canada or just travel to India has to be mentioned ?

As PR you do not need to provide your travel history.. leave that section blank.

Yes, sign as spouse of pa also on the 5476 form.

Congrats in advance, I could only suggest you to download the IMM 5533 form which is the document checklist. It sorta clear from there you would see all documents and required information. But once you doubt anything you could seek guidance from the platform.

The agent is advised when you feel your case is complicated and need advice and intense guide who would have time for you. I personally did it myself but others also used agents. It's an objective decision.

Hi @vinay16 I see a response came from armoured. I guess it should be ignored then. Sorry if it is mixed up answers again but I only said what I did with my wife.
