The PA has a US Green Card......but is the PA currently residing in USA.......if YES.......country specific requirements should be for USA.


Refer........Spousal Sponsorship Checklist...........SPONSORED PERSONS.......7...Country specific requirements

Country specific requirements: You (the principal applicant) must check the country specific requirements to confirm if any additional forms are required based on your country of residence.

You are required to submit any country specific requirements additional forms based on your country of residence not your country of origin.

Also, in the Spouse Sponsorship Guide......the PA is required to also check country requirement for specific documents like birth certificate.

The PA should check the country specific requirements for the country where the Birth Certificate was issued outside USA,

Refer……Sponsoring Spouse Guide……..2) Check your country-specific requirements.......

You may need to follow special instructions about specific documents based on the country you’ll get the documents from
. For example, there are specific requirements for civil documents from different countries (e.g. birth certificates, other proof of identity, child custody documentation, family booklets, etc.).
  • To see instructions about specific documents, select the country where the document is issued. For example, if you are living in the United States but you are submitting a birth certificate issued in the Philippines, check the requirements for “Philippines” to make sure the document you are submitting is the right one.
Note: your application will be returned if any of the requested documents are missing (see section 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) for more information).
