Hi All, Refresher, HE is my husband, American, Immigrating here to Ontario. One of MY forms asks for date he met my family and friends....is it OK to put just month and year because I don't know exact date?? Should I add an attachment to the form indicating this because I don't want it to be sent back because the "day" space is blank? Also, I know it's not difficult but I'm still not sure on this....On HIS IMM0008, #4 asks Immigration office requested for processing of this application, to my understanding this would be CPP-O, and the package gets mailed to Mississauga.....RIGHT? And the fees are Sponsor(me) $75, Applicant(him)$475 plus Right of Permanent Residence Fee $490 for $1040? It's easiest to do this online with a Credit card right??( I'm afraid of not getting the receipt, what if printer has a melt down at what couldn't be a worse time, this is not likely to happen....but you know)

1) Yes, you can put month/year. You can also attach a statement saying it was around this time of year, for what event (holiday, family reunion, etc) just so CIC has an idea. Totally optional, but I would definitely include a statement when the entire date isn't spelled out.

2) Yes, put CPP-O, CPP-Ottawa, or Ottawa. They all mean the same thing. Mississauga does Sponsor Approval. Ottawa does Applicant Approval.

3) Yes, it's $1040. Online is preferred by CIC. You may want to call your bank and inform them of a large charge online - or just try it and see what happens! :) If you decide to order the receipt, please note it takes a few weeks to get it. In my case, it took almost SIX to get here. I'd already ordered a replacement, so now i have two! Unfortunately, paying online wasn't an option for us.

This is the part I know the answer. I paid on-line and received a pdf copy by email. Make sure to print first, but you can print a pdf or even take a print screen and save via paint, if there a problem.

What I did, is I paid on-line and wait for the email with pdf form to get into my inbox. Then I printed 2 copies of the receipt, one to join with the application and one I kept for my backup file.

Hope this help !

It's not something that they check, so just pick a day and that way you don't need to write an additional letter. I just picked an approximate date. We landed the 18th, so I put that he met my grandparents on the 20th. It might have been the 19th or the 21st, but it had been years before and I couldn't remember. As long as you don't pick a day he was out of the country :)

Ok, I'm again kindof confused, my office is going to be Ottawa, but it says Ottawa only does them after they have been pre screened in Mississauga, does Ottawa send it to Mississauga then it goes back? And in the "courier address" for sending the package IT indicates this is for TEMPORARY resident applicants.....this "courier address" is for permanent too??

DON'T send your application to Ottawa.

You send your application to Mississauga, then they check the sponsor part and they will send it to Ottawa, not you.
Good luck,
