Question 8: was your marriage arranged? this is exactly as it states, was your marriage arranged for you? There are cultures that have arranged marriage. "a marriage planned and agreed to by the families or guardians of the bride and groom, who have little or no say in the matter themselves."...

Yes, you should choose China on the third one. You are still a citizen of China, you are just currently living & working in Canada.

Honestly I personally would the time period in which you have the most proofs of your relationship, but feel that the most recent would be more viable, because it is still ongoing. Later on it requests proof of your relationship as well, and you can also submit proofs from both times you have...

Yes it is Just you. You won't list anyone else until you get to the IMM5406 "Additional Family Information" form

The 5289 is a detailed guide to all parts of applications possible in sponsorship. "Detailed information such as how to fill out the forms, is in the Complete Guide (IMM 5289)." Just because it is in the 5289 does not mean you fill it out. You said you will all be in canada when sending in...

So I know I am supposed to include parents and brothers and sisters and what not. I have a half sister, we have different fathers. She has other half siblings as well via her father. My mother is not married to her father, so technically they are not my step siblings any longer. Should I list...

I figured to just do them all in black ink just in case. I would hate for something to have to be redone for signing in blue ink, even if it did not specify.

Everything is certified and already in English since I am from the US so, no worries there.

Alright thanks, Finances weren't required with the 5589 if only sponsoring a spouse so, that is easier, not that we couldn't provide the information. The questions 16-18 on the new IMM5287 I imagine would be the same, but I might call to see anyway. Also, would calling CRA to change status...

It may get to them after July 15th (trying to have all answers / panicking done long in advance) :) Suppose I should err on the side of caution and just use the 5287? Still leaves me wondering if i have to do the Q's 16-18. I suppose we buckle down and get it sent quickly, and have it in...

That one is only accepted til July 15th. The one i linked is the new one going forward. At least that was what was posted earlier. but this came out on 6/13/2017

It was just something I personally felt was none of my business getting into until we were married (The insurance beneficiary stuff) I know i got to this after responding elsewhere, but he only has a bank account, no credit cards. He does not deal with credit cards. But adding to bank account...

Question 2 there is a new document checklist. For common law before it was said that proof of his finances was not needed. the new checklist states only those in quebec need not fill out the finance information. This is the new document checklist link...

2016 taxes were said and done as we were not common law at the point of tax filings for the both of us. Duly noted she had no clue what she was talking about so we shall try the bank account thing again. He has no credit card, it is his debit bank account only. He doesn't believe in credit...

For the taxes I ran it with a po box in the states because it wouldn't let me complete it otherwise doing my forms online. All his stuff is obviously going to be mailed here to him, at his po box. We don't get residential mail at all. His utilities were already set up with Hydro and MTS. We had...

I don't put money in the account and from last we tried with the bank I couldn't have an account because i have no SIN. unless the people have no idea what they are talking about. No we dont have joint insurance. He is canadian and has everything named for him and his kid (beneficiary). No I...

I literally have a single piece of mail from the government that shows the po box number( because there is no residential mail delivery.) which in my mind is not "enough proof". He has his mortgage from 2008 and has had utilities since then. We dont have a joint bank account because I can't...
