Confusion between Use of Representative (IMM 5476) & Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual?

[yellowhoney]

Hey there,
I’m sponsoring my Common Law partner and I’m confused regarding Use of Representative (IMM 5476) and Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual (IMM 5475).

From what I understand my partner (the applicant) needs to sign the Use of Presentative, to allow me (the sponsor) to receive information regarding the application?

Is that all that needs to be done?

Because I’m also hearing of people receiving requests IMM 5475 during processing, do I need to provide those too?

Let me know thanks!

Hello,

I was sponsoring my wife. Yes the only form you need is Use of representative. You are right your partner needs to sign it

Hey there, just checking was your sponsorship Inland or Outland? Because I'm seeing this on Canada's website:

Note to sponsors: If the person you’re sponsoring is living outside Canada and is 18 years of age or older, and your address in Canada is provided as their mailing address on the application for permanent residence (IMM 0008), the principal applicant (person you’re sponsoring) must complete a Use of Representative form listing you as their representative.

Our application is Inland, so not sure if it applies Inland?

Not sure if my partner (the applicant) needs to sign the Use of Presentative, to allow me (the sponsor) to receive information regarding the application, for an INLAND sponsorship?

Is that all that needs to be done?

Because I’m also hearing of people receiving requests Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual (IMM 5475) during processing, do I need to provide those too?

Let me know thanks!
