I have a question re form 5490 "Sponsored spouse questionaire" number 4 and 5 re gifts given and received.

What are they looking for here? Is it better to say yes or no?
Is an engagement ring considered a gift?

An engagement ring is considered a gift but, should only be listed if it was given during your first meeting, as these questions in this section have to do with your first meeting.

Question
28. " Are you living with your sponsor Yes or No-when did sponsor return to Canada"
He is here with me in Canada not me there!

29."Are you living with someone other than your sponsor"
I have 2 children---does he include them

30. " Do you receive financial support"
We are living together in Canada and he is asking for extension. I work he cannot, so I guess I support him financially but how much and how often????

ok modified just noticed the forms are out-land processing so he is not living with you he is only visiting. The children do not need to be included as he is not living with you. as for support if he were in his home country would you be sending money to him to help him with bills? If you want to claim you are living together then you should prolly file an inland application. as far as the extension goes again if your filing for a visa extension you can't claim he is living with you, its a visitor's visa when you file for it just say your reason he wants to stay is to wait out the PR process with you.

Thanks Creampop
Just to clarify the answer to the question #27 Have you and your spouse lived together"----the answer would be no because he is considered visiting me and not living with me even though he is staying at the same address?

"explain why not living together" ----not sure how to answer this or do I say he is here visiting in Canada.

"Dates of co-habitation" I, went to visit him June 25,2012 and he came back with me. We are getting married Nov 10 ,filing for an extension and PR application and sponsor app.

This whole thing is confusing, but, he wants to apply outland because it probably will be quicker. I don't want to screw things up on the paper work end. So thank you for being patient with me.

What exactly did he tell the Officer when he entered the Country? I can't see him saying he was moving here without filing an application, if so what was the point of entry? I'm sure we all would love to have had the Officer he got... telling an IO that usually gets you turned away and a red-flag on your passport. that being said, a visitor can't move to Canada legally without having a PR visa, this is why when on a visitor's visa you can not work or study and you are given a date which you must leave by (if no date was given it would be 6 months from date of entry) or apply to extend your stay atleast 30 days before your exit date. When is his exit date? I'm asking this cus you said you were getting married in Nov. so your going to need about 15 months from then till he gets PR visa so he is going to have to try to get an extension for that period. since legally he can't live with you he will need to have an address in his home Country there is a section where it asks if mailing address is different you can always put the Canadian address there. Sorry I got forms confused I never read this form cus I didn't have to fill it out LOL Anyways this is how my husband did it (asked him after I realized) we have been together 13 years and have 2 children, so he checked yes we had lived together and put dates of co-habitation that co-existed with our travel dates since we were allowed 6 months in each other Country, he included a letter stating that we were actually visiting but staying with each other for these periods of time. and since this is your questionnaire the answer to question 29, you would include your children as long as they are living with you.

Thanks
He entered Canada on July 10 with me (I went to visit him in St. Vincent). We told the IO he was coming to visit and that we were getting married. He asked when the wedding was and then gave him a 6 months stamp. We are getting married Nov.10 and applying for extension. Hopefully he will get it, but if not he will go back and then re enter as a visitor again. He has maintained his Vincentian address.. From what you said re your husband I think he should check off yes and explain that he was only visiting here for the 6 months or how many he will hopefully be granted.

Well let's hope an extension is granted as it maybe hard to come back in right after leaving as a visitor with an extension that was denied. GL!
