Hi there,
I am in the final stages of completing my forms for both the sponsor and main application forms for a family class visa for permanent residency. Just before I print off and prepare for the documents to be signed I thought it would be best to run a couple of queries on this board to ensure I understand the section correctly.
The background is I (the applicant) am a British citizen and my spouse (sponsor) is a Canadian citizen by birth. We got married in the Uk in 2007 and both currently live & work there. Be both intend to return to Canada (Provence of Quebec).
Part 1 Sponsorship
- On the Sponsorship questionnaire It asks the sponsor to provide a date of when they intend to return to Canada. Obviously this date is not currently known as it will be when we the application for her as the sponsor and for myself are approved, so is it best just to put an approximate date (e.g in line with the application processing time)?
- Also on the Sponsorship questionnaire under current employment, it asks for the monthly income to be provided in $. As she currently is employed in the Uk, should I still provide her income in $, using a approximate exchange rate (e.g. 1.55 $ to £)?
- Some of the sponsorship forms are not required if the sponsor resides in Quebec (e.g. Sponsor ship evaluation). Whilst we intend to move their (and complete the CSQ once sponsorship approved), both of us currently reside in the UK. Just to confirm that these forms definitely do not apply to us?
Part 2 Immigration forms
- The Applicant questionnaire under the maintaining contact section (questions 24-26) it asks for details on visits to the sponsor and maintaining contact when not together. As we both reside together in the UK should I just confirm that as the response?
- On the generic application asks me to list any dependants, including spouses. As my spouse is also the sponsor, do they need to be listed as a dependent?
- Finally, should I send the sponsorship and main application forms/ documents together in one package, or separately?
I have my medical completed (earlier this month) am just awaiting the police certificate to come through. I have all other documents, including evidence or relationship, intentions for the sponsor to re-establish themselves in Canada etc.
Many thanks in advance
