Confused with Undertaking with the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration

[canadalover4987]

Hello guys, I read the Sponsorship Guide 3900 and it says:

When you agree to be a sponsor, you must sign a contract called an undertaking with the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration (or with the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion [MIDI] if you live in Québec).

The undertaking is a promise to provide financial support for your spouse or common-law partner’s basic requirements and those of his or her dependent children.

Basic requirements are:

food
clothing
utilities
personal requirements
shelter
fuel
household supplies
This also includes other health care not provided by public health, such as eye and dental care.

The undertaking ensures that these persons and their family members do not have to apply for social assistance. Its length varies according to their age and their relationship to you.

Your obligations as a sponsor begin as soon as the person you are sponsoring and, if applicable, his or her family members arrive in Canada.

Important information: The undertaking is an unconditional promise of support. For example, the granting of Canadian citizenship, divorce, separation or relationship breakdown or moving to another province does not cancel the undertaking. The undertaking also remains in effect even if your financial situation deteriorates.

I am from Ontario and i am sponsoring my partner. Do i have to go to Minister of Citizenship and Immigration and do the Undertaking?


I noticed the Undertaking section in Sponsor form IMM 1344, this does means i just simply answer this form and i am good to go? i dont need to go to Minister of Citizenship and Immigration?


Its very confusing. Please help. Thanks in advance

You don't need to go anywhere. Completing the form confirms that you are willing to take on the responsibility once everything is approved and the family member comes to Canada.
