Hi all, I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my husband, a US citizen, for PR. We are applying outland. We are both allowed to provide "photocopies" of birth certificates as far as the instructions go. My husband's document checklist for the US country-specific instructions says a photocopy of...

Just what I was thinking. Thanks! :D

Thanks guys. I was thinking of putting his information on all of the forms, but also adding my name to the sponsorship forms (and being clear who is applicant and sponsor). I just wasn't sure if there was a specific way others do it.

Hi all, quick question: I was told that wherever a separate/additional sheet of paper needs to be included with the PR forms, the applicant's name and date of birth should be placed at the top of each page. This makes sense to me, especially for the immigration forms, but does this apply to the...

Thanks everyone! :)

Thanks everyone! I will have him include a note explaining any changes he makes to the dates. Thanks SchnookoLoly for the info on traveling as well. This makes sense to me now!

Thanks everyone! Well they actually only ask for the last 10 years, but still, it is difficult at times! We will try to get it as accurate as possible, and I will have him write an explanation stating that he has remembered to the best of his ability. Does anyone have any feedback with regards...

Does anyone know if he needs to enter his name in that space, even if he checks 'no'?

Thanks for you reply! They really don't mind him saying that he made a "best guess"? He has a period of about four years where the dates on things are hazy. It's a little more than stressful; I'd say it's more like PTSD. He will try to remember everything as best he can. We definitely won't...

Hi all, I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my husband, an American, for PR. The Appendix A: Background Information form asks him for a detailed history (with no time period left unaccounted for). My husband has a bit of a chaotic past and some memory impairment, and can't remember certain...

I will definitely do that then, if it doesn't arrive in time. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your fast reply! Is it okay to do that? Is there a chance they'll reject the application, or will it cause delays? I'm trying to call the CRA right now, but I keep getting a busy signal. Should I send the Notice of Assessment along with the explanation, or does that mean...

Thanks everyone! I nearly forgot about this thread, I have been so busy with things lately. Thanks for all the info! I have got letters from both our parents, and I will get a new bank letter from my parents. His parents also included bank account statements (they have separate banks at the...

Thanks for your reply, truesmile! Sometimes I'm unsure if CIC wants a simple explanation, or if they require some level of 'convincing'. Obviously, I don't want to try too hard to convince them of anything if it might look suspicious or something. It's hard for me to understand how they...

Hi all! My husband and I are just finishing up our application for spousal sponsorship (I am a Canadian citizen sponsoring my husband, a US citizen, for PR). We are applying outland, but he is living with me in Canada. I have a few questions regarding our finances; I’m aware that for spousal...

Thanks for your reply. I think it's just the wording that confuses us. He would rather not have his information released to employers, but when I look at it, it even has a space for him to enter his name, as if he needs to consent. It's all under the main section of CONSENT AND DECLARATION OF...

Can anyone else shed some light on this?

Thanks PMM, so are you saying it IS necessary to consent to release information for employment purposes? I'm still not sure I understand completely.

Hi all, my husband and I are finishing up his application for PR right now (me sponsoring). One question we don't understand is on the Generic Application Form for Canada, it asks at the bottom under 'Consent and Declaration of Applicant' for consent to release information. It's clear that he...

Thanks everyone! I'll attach a separate sheet and write down as many details/explanations as possible. For the employment, then, should I mention anything beyond the 5-year period they specify? Or keep it within 5 years? I'm happy to go beyond and mention other relevant self-employment...
