Well thanks for all the responses folks! It seems like the majority (ALL?) seem to be saying that a lawyer is not necessary. First off, These are not my children and it is not my application. A close family friend asked if I would help him with his application since I have experience filling...

Hey all, I am just wondering what a typical lawyer charges to submit a spousal sponsorship application from outside of Canada. The spouse is from the USA and there are 2 children from the marriage so it seems like a pretty straightforward sponsorship. I've called 3 Law firms in Toronto that I've...

I may be wrong but it looks like the form you are talking about with the spouse's picture (IMM 1017) is for IN CANADA class only. Is there another similar form for outland applications? I could not find any on the site.

Yes, this is an outland application and applicant is in the Middle East. The last time I applied for my brother they sent the police certificate directly to immigration Canada and that's how it got lost twice along the way. So to clarify....I do not need to send the medical with the...

I am about to send in a spousal sponsorship application from outside of Canada on my sister's behalf. The application package is basically ready to go, I am just waiting for the Option C printout to arrive from CRA. I am confused about when exactly the medical and police certificate clearance...

Sweden: There actually is an option to remove "Dependents" and I have done so. Just to clarify, if the couple's only child is already a Canadian citizen there is no need to include her on form IMM 008. Correct? Do I need to fill out form IMM 008 DEP? It is not clear if this applies only to...

Yes i've already included all the child's information in the additional family info section. I will put N/A in the dependents section on IMM 008 (there is no option to remove on the current form). I will put Ottawa as the Immigration Office choice. Thanks for your help Sweden. Thanks to...

ok that worked Sweden! Thanks!! So a couple more questions if you guys don't mind. This is the first time im seeing IMM 008 Can i request "Ottawa and/or New York" for the immigration office request (Question #4 IMM 008) ? Or do I just write "Ottawa"? If their dependent child is already a...

Just downloaded Acrobat Reader 11.0 which is the latest version. Still have the same problem and I'm trying to call CIC office to ask them but can not get through to a live operator.

Thanks folks! I have everything filled out except IMM 008. I guess thats why I missed it SWEDEN. For some reason, Adobe Reader can not open that file on both my Mac and PC. Anyone else have trouble with that?

Maybe I missed it, but what form is the option to choose your CPP on?

The applicant and his spouse (the sponsor) have been living in Morocco for the last year and half. The applicant has a student visa there but they travel back to North America every six months or so. The plan on returning together to live in Canada this coming March for good. I want to apply...

Thanks OhCanadiana. So he actually has a chance to choose his visa office when applying? Is there an option for this somewhere on the application? I have not seen it if that's the case. Also, isn't CPP-O the Ottawa Case processing centre? I imagine it would make the most sense to choose the...

Discussion for everyone out there... I am filling out a spousal sponsorship application for my sister and brother in-law. They have a genuine marriage (with one child) and have been living abroad in the Middle East for the last 2 years. My sister and her child are Canadian citizens and the plan...

Right. Thats a good idea. Thanks for the help!

Appreciate the advice Charlie. I actually didn't think of applying for the police certificate now. Do they not send it directly to Immigration Canada though? If so, they will have no file to match it up to and I imagine it will get lost in the system. (They lost an overseas police certificate...

Im working on an application for my sister. She is a Canadian Citizen who married a US citizen about a year ago. He is studying in the Middle East at the moment, and so they both live there for the time being, but they plan to return and live in Canada in about 8 months time. She would like...
