Extended family authorization application

[Feb2004]

Does the final notarized form has to be emailed from extended family member's email id or the one in Canada?

Its sent by the family member outside as a scanned copy while writing the other info in the email and attaching relevant documents requested.

Thank you. If there are two family members of the same family, do they have to send two separate emails for their applications? In my case, my daughter is applying for grandparents-does the grandfather and grandmother send in separate emails?

Theres no guideline for doing both together. You can send one email just make sure to include the information for both of them seprately.

Hi, quick question.

I dowloaded and filled the form with my wife October 8 and went with it to get it sign by a notary the 13th. I realized after reading the message here that there's a new form that was online the 9th, should I make a new one or we're good ? I did signed it myself personally like in the new version directly in front of the notary.

Thanks

when it says (step 2) "your family member in Canada sends you the application for you to sign. [then] you send it back to your family member in Canada"

does this mean we cannot email it, and must fax / postal mail it?

I have the same question - do we need to send back and forth the actual hard copy? It's not clearly stated on the Government of Canada website...they use the word "send". It's pretty ambiguous. From the instructions, I have to first fill out my part, then "send" it to my partner to fill out hers, she signs (electronically) and "sends" it back to me. I think up to this point, we can still use email. However, what about after I print out the filled form and get notarized? I will then be physically signing in front of a notary public. Do I need to mail this hard copy back to my partner or sending the scanned notarized form by email is sufficient? Thanks!

I can now confirm that email is fine. But yes, "send" is a very subjective word; my (older) lawyer automatically assumed that meant postal but then we reviewed it again and I talked to others in the same boat, and they were successful with all-digital, so that's what I'll be doing.

Do I need to mail this hard copy back to my partner

so the answer is no. that's good news!

In the point for detailed reason for travel...how long should it be? In my case I can only think of uniting with family as grandparents are old and live alone.
Secondly, they have a PR application in progress, do I need to mention that too.

the box isn’t very big so i just kept it plain and simple: “reunite with my partner”

I figured that since this form is basically for reunification specifically, they’ll accept this.

I thought in the email we have to mention in detail.

The following is what I saw on the website:
Make sure you include

• your full name
• your date of birth
• your passport number
• a detailed reason for travel
• the dates you plan to travel
• where you live now (current country of residence)
• your supporting documents to show you’re eligible to travel to Canada at this time (for example, the application for authorization and statutory declaration for extended family members)

Hi everyone,
Please share if you are only submitting the notarized application, or adding some details in the email too?

I am an American citizen, my boyfriend is a Canadian Permanent Resident. We have been dating for two years and have traveled to see each other many times. When he came to Canada he was in a common law marriage but is not anymore. Does anyone know if that will affect me going over there or his stuff when he applies for citizenship for Canada? How thorough is their research when approving or denying people.
