Do I also need a birth certificate for my parents if my wife is my sponsor and I do not have any children? As far as I understand the guide my parents are not part of the application. Therefore I do not need a birth certificate for my parents. Is this correct?

Would it make sense to add an additional column "Sponsorship type" with values Spouse/Partner or Other to the spreadsheet? As far as I found out online the processing times are significantly different between those two types of sponsorship applications? Therefore it might be worth being able to...

On our application my wife wrote down a date in about 1 year from now. Since the question asks for a date when you "plan" on resume residency you don't actually have to move at that date. My wife explained on an additional sheet of paper that as soon as I am granted PR we will quit our Jobs and...

I added myself to the Vienna spreadsheet since our application is almost ready to be sent off. Can't wait to get this pile of documents sent. I hope by the time the my wife is approved as sponsor Vienna has started issuing PR's again. I can't believe they have not issued a single PR in 2013? At...

Thank you very much!

Do I only need certified copies of the original document if the original is in another language and has been translated? I'm confused by the guide. I can't tell if certified copies are only needed for translated documents or if all documents which are handed in as a copy need to be certified.

Hi, I am wondering if all photocopies we submit with our application need to be certified? I am wondering about these documents in particular: 1. Do I need to get the photocopies of our passport picture page certified? 2. As a proof for our travels to visit each other we are going to attach...

Well we have been living together in Germany since Jan 2011. We traveled between Canada in 2009/2010. We will just send whatever we can find and if they need more information they are more than welcome to interview us or call any of our family members to prove that our marriage is genuine and...

I'm from Germany. Thank you very much for the information. We will see how much additional information we can still pull together since we didn't keep receipts or tickets. We will include photocopies of our passports showing visa stamps entering and leaving the country when visiting before we...

Hi, My wife and I are working on our application. After filling out form IMM5490E (Sponsored spouse/partner questionnaire) we are wondering about what we should provide as additional details of our current relationship that would help to prove that our relationship is genuine and continuing...

Is this true? My wife and I are just finalizing our application and since Vienna is the VO for Germany I'm kind of scared if they haven't processed any applications since December 2012?

I hope Vienna is still working ;) My wife and I are planning on submitting our application soon.

My wife (Canadian citizen) left Canada right after she finished University to live with me in Germany and declared herself a non resident at that point (Jan 2011). She never declared taxes in Canada in her life. We will write a short explaination why she does not provide an option c printout and...

We are pretty much ready to send the application. The only thing missing is my police certificate which I just requested today. In general that should be mailed to us within 10 days. According to office doing the translation that should not take more than a few hours once I hand in the original...

I will get it translated to be on the safe side. I rather spend 40 Euros for a translation than delaying my application by (maybe) a few month just because of a translation ;)

Thank you so much. It will cost me 40 Euros to get my "no records" translated from german into english. But if that allows me to move to Canada with my wife I am more than happy to pay for it :)

Hi The application guide is confusing me. First they write all documents which are not English or French need to be translated. How about documents where the guide specifically requests the original? For example the police certificate for an applicant like me from Germany. Do I need a...

As I understand the guide is that I will name my wife as my spouse even though she is my sponsor in Section A but as she is not "part of my application" she does not fill out any of the forms marked as "to be filled out by your spouse". To sum it up: Answer all questions within a form about...

I am about to fill out the same forms as well and as far as I understand the guide your husband does not include you as his spouse in his application. He still fills out the part that you are his spouse of course. But you do not have to fill out any application forms. Here is the text from the...

I assume they require your husband to get a letter form his employer stating that he can actually end his contract at any time even though it is dated for 3 years.
