    SWOP - Are the 5707 / 5409 only required if dependents are involved?

    I am a Canadian citizen going through inland sponsorship for my husband. After filling out the questionnaire for the OWP, the only application we were given was the 5710. I'm just wary because the guide says this So, I was curious if maybe this is one of the things that doesn't apply to us...

    SOWP with Canadian Spouse

    I'm Canadian, my [common-law] husband is a US citizen. No dependents. We've sent an inland PR app and he's applying for his SOWP now. Our doc checklist doesn't list The Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union. Does that only apply to people coming along, so not to us bc I'm a citizen? I'm...

    July 2024 Inland spousal sponsorship timeline

    Yes, sorry to have mafe you repeat. I did read that. I guess I was just worried I wasn't understanding correctly because it seems weird to say, "Well let's not extend your visitor status so that we'll meet the conditions to apply for sowp earlier." Thank you for your answer.

    July 2024 Inland spousal sponsorship timeline

    Sorry, to add on too. Does this only apply to temporary resident with work permits? My husband is visitor status, visa exempt. His 6 months ends Sep 2nd. We're about to apply for a visitor record. Could we apply for OWP instead?

    Inland Spousal - Is a longer stay in the US okay?

    Right, that makes sense. And yes, we're in Quebec... so we have a long haul ahead no matter how we move forward.

    Inland Spousal - Is a longer stay in the US okay?

    Yes, such terrible timing, if the offer had only come a week earlier it would've saved us a lot of hassle. Since the app is not yet in processing, we would hopefully get a approved for a refund of fees (Although, I just read it can take two months to receive!) My understanding is the main...

    Inland Spousal - Is a longer stay in the US okay?

    Here is what I'm talking about, from the gov website page Temporary residents travelling outside Canada: What you need to re-enter to Canada It mentions it several times: And I know you should be prepared for anything ofc. But it seems fairly straightforward for a US citizen going to the US...

    Inland Spousal - Is a longer stay in the US okay?

    Sorry, I wasn't very clear. My concern is not so much about border entry, it's about residence during an inland application. Would being outside Canada for several months be seen as an issue or bad faith since we did an inland application, not outland? [By US travel being allowed, I was...

    Family knows about my husband - but has not met him? [IMM5532]

    For "7. Do your close friends, family and children know about your relationship" we put yes because they all do. We listed the names and relationship of close family (parents and sisters.) However he has never met my family, and I've only met his father. Is it okay to list family and leave...

    IMM 0008 asks for CSQ? -- Answered --

    Okay I feel silly. There ARE line by line instructions on the guide, it just looks different than some others (No "Question 1", etc.) I only realized this after watching a YouTube video I'm case anyone is bad at reading like me, you click "No" and leave the date blank.

    IMM 0008 asks for CSQ? -- Answered --

    I'm confused because the MIDI requires your AOR from the IIRC on your app; yet, on the general form IMM 0008 it asks if you have your CSQ yet and if not when did you apply? If it only applies to other pathways how do I fill out that answer? (Also, if anyone knows of a detailed guide for the...

    US citizen - Do we need visitor record to apply?

    Perfect, thank you. And yes, it's inland. We'll still apply for the visitor record, it is just a relief we didn't have to wait for it before beginning our sponsorship application.
