Thanks you guys! I appreciate the help. I'm still a little confused on questions 7 and 11. For 7, there isn't actually a self-employment part--it just says, "give details of all employers you have worked for over the past five years" and asks for names and addresses. It seems like...

Bump :D I'd really like to know how to best answer these questions! From anyone familiar with the questionnaire.

Anyone? ;) Any amount of help is appreciated!

Hi all! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my spouse, who's a U.S. citizen, for permanent residence. He currently resides with me in Canada and we are applying outland. There are a few questions on the Sponsor Questionnaire that I'm not quite sure how to fill out...listed below. 5. Highest...

Awesome! Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! This helped a lot. I am beginning to understand the importance of just explaining things on a separate sheet :D I was hoping the jail time and possible mental illness wouldn't be issues, as in CIC wanting to interview him. So you're saying he should just explain that he has...

Anyone? I'm really looking for some insight into the Background Declaration, and clarification on the Questionnaire. If this is too much to ask in one thread, I can divide my questions into separate threads, but any amount of help would be appreciated!

Hi all! I'm a Canadian citizen sponsoring my spouse, who's a U.S. citizen, for permanent residence. We were married in Canada on January 20, 2013, and we are applying outland. He's currently residing with me in Canada (Vancouver, BC) as a visitor and has been here since November 30, 2012 (we...

Thanks for your input! :) It's nice to know that it's not necessary to go overboard. I would think CIC would get annoyed with huge stacks of "proof" and perhaps even find it suspicious. But I understand why people feel the need to include a lot--there's a lot on the line, after all! I think...

Damn. I guess I was confused...so it has to be done up front for outland spousal sponsorship? I'm guessing there's no other way around that. That probably means there's no way we're going to get this in before the police certificate expires; even if we did manage to get an earlier medical...

Thank you very much! I hope you're right about it not being an issue. I suppose I can ask more in a separate thread, I may get more replies that way. Looks like we may be sending this in later after all...the timing of the medical exam seems to not be working out with the police certificate...

Oh my gosh, thanks so much for all these replies everyone! It is exceedingly helpful. :D We do not have very many photos unfortunately, as we're not really the photo-taking types (and both tend to dislike having our picture taken! haha). We have been married less than two years and don't have...

Slight change of plans. I went with my husband to get the medical exam yesterday, but the facility was not what we were expecting. It was in a large medical building in a department that dealt specifically with immigration medical (I had thought this was a normal clinic); they were rather cold...

Hey all, My husband and I are getting ready to send in his PR application next week, and I would like some opinions on how to best represent our relationship with the materials requested. This is what it says in the application guide for the United States (he’s a US citizen): If you are being...

Thank you :)

Thanks! I wonder if we should mention anything about the police certificate on a separate sheet/cover letter? Since it is expiring soon. It technically will be 3 months by next Thursday; with any luck we could have the application mailed earlier in the week, but I'm not sure when they'll...

Nice, does that work for anything? :D We may need to explain a few other things in the app...would you recommend we put it all in one letter, or separate sheets for separate forms? Edited to add: Got the finances worked out, so we're set! I'm guessing we'll have to wait until Monday to make a...

Since it's somewhat related: on the Generic Application Form for Canada, it asks for visitor from-to dates; since he's still awaiting a response on his visitor extension, what should he put down for the "to" date? The last day of his requested authorization (if they approve the extension, six...

Ooh, thanks! I found the information you're referencing here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canadian-immigration-faq-application-costs.html (posting this mostly for my own future reference). It would certainly help to not have to pay all of that at once. Going to figure out the finances today...

Thanks for clearing that up. It's good to know that we wouldn't have to pay extra. I feel a little rushed at the moment; if we really are to get this application in now there are potential financial issues (we are both currently being supported by our parents, and a lot of expenses have come...
