Hello,

when applying ONLINE for spousal sponsorship ( using the online portal ), how do I sign the forms which I am supposed to edit and upload ?

Do I have to print , sign and scan the PDF forms and then upload ?

I can't type my name and the name of the sponsor in the fields of imm5532e for example. In this form both applicant AND sponsor must sign.

Thanks for your help !

This is one of the worst-explained parts of the process and even when it was all physical (hard copies) people got confused because the same forms are used for fully electronic and paper apps.

I don't have a good answer, except this: if in doubt at all, print, sign and scan. (If sigs needed from sponsor and app, two separate signed pages are I beleive fine).

I'm not defending their approach but if they expect a 'real' signature and all you've done is type, it creates big problems. Better safe than sorry.

Good luck.
