Hello all,
This is really a great site I wish I have seen it before. Well better now than never. I have read few pages on this thread and a couple other threads. I'll quickly introduce myself, I am an Egyptian Canadian who is living in Canada now. I am sponsoring my wife. I intend to post the steps as I think of them:
All document has to be sent to the Canadian (canadian resident) sponsor including part 2 and part 3. (Contrary to my initial belief that they are steps or stages). I will write what is needed from the Egyptian sponsored person. I hope this could help and start discussion. I will write some notes next to it
From Part 1:
1) Original of completed Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344) signed by the person you want to sponsor (as well as the sponsor). In case you married her by a proxy or are not together now.
2) Photocopy of your marriage certificate. Ministry of Justice (I believe some1 said 2nd floor) Wezaret Al Adel. dar el kada2 el 3aly in Ramsis street and they will translate it into english then take it to egyptian ministry of foreign affairs to legalize it.
Part 2:
1) Original of the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008), completed by the sponsored person.
2) Original of Additional Dependants / Declaration (IMM 0008DEP), completed by the sponsored person, if applicable. In my case she does not have dependants not needed. You do not need to send or even fill this one.
3) Original of completed Spouse/Partner Questionnaire (IMM 5490), signed by the sponsored person if she or he is your
spouse.
4) Original of completed Additional Family Information (IMM 5406), for the sponsored person and each family member
18 years of age or over, signed by the person concerned. This might look unnecessary however evenif you are sponsoring just your wife. She has to to sign it.
Supporting documents:
1) Identity and civil status documents.Someone said it is not necessary to translate I.d. (Beta el raqm el komy). Translated birth certificate issued from Health ministry (wazaret elsaha). Someone told me you can get them directly in English. Kashf El Ahl (qeid eila) issued after changing status to married or you take Quesimah with you. I understand it is issued from Sigil El medini then translated.
2) Travel documents and passports (Egyptian passport)
3) Proof of relationship to sponsor I do not know why this is necessary in case you are married!
4) Originals of police certificates and clearances . Feish we tashbeh then translated.
5) Proof of medical examination for the sponsored person and each of his or her dependants. The sponsored needs to fill appendix C in 3912e. Make an appointment with MDP
