    Can I pay Application Fees Early?

    Is it possible to pay the fees for sponsoring a spouse even before I have sent in the sponsorship application? Does this expedite anything at all? I am still waiting for police checks, so I can't send them yet. Cheers, John

    Wife Thai, but both of our sons are canadian citizens..

    So as to avoid delays and ensure I get it right, even though the oldest son was adopted overseas in 2007, he is now a Canadian citizen and carries my name. Can I assume that he doesn't need a medical check and he gets processed normally as a non-sponsored dependent? I really don't want to go...

    Wife Thai, but both of our sons are canadian citizens..

    Since you have been so helpful, I may as well ask you some other questions. On her spouse questionnaire (IMM 5490), they ask questions as though we are apart, but we have been married and living together since Sept 2001! From when to when?
