How do you figure many? Looking at a site like myimmitracker, they're just now starting to show up.

The Primary Applicant - not the one sponsoring - needs to have their own account and submit the PR Application through that. (

Thanks. I think they asked for the MIL proof because it was getting close to the end of the deadline for the MIL and they hadn't received anything. Fortunately, I had the proof and also it's all resolved now.

Ok, got it! I might suggest a bit of a UI enhancement like "if it applies [per additional forms below]" but I'm grateful for your answer here!

Thanks. My spouse (Primary Applicant) is indeed an American citizen living in the USA. The IMM 5562 is under the "Please fill out these digital forms online directly in the Portal." but it doesn't have a specific red asterisk * or the word (Required) next to the form number. That said, I...
