Help with Form- Sponsorship Evaluation

[erinspring]

Hello! I need some help with my Sponsorship Evaluation Form (IMM5481).

For Question 4- It is listed '1'
For Question 5, it is listed '2' ('Number of persons included in box 3 of IMM0008)
So when I total the amount of people (Question 7), it equals 3

However, this does not make sense as I am sponsoring my common law partner, and neither of us have any other dependants who are in the application. I do not understand why it does not equal 2. Where have I gone wrong?

Thank you

Thank you!

I am just confused as to why, in the instruction guide for IMM 0008, it asks my sponsor (Q.3) to "Indicate the total number of family members included in your application. This includes yourself and any family members, regardless of whether they intend to accompany you to Canada or not."

When you click on Family Members, it indicates that common law partner is included in this.

So why would he not include me? (and write 2).

Understand that this is a generic form used across all immigration streams; it is not specific to spousal sponsorship. This is why it is stated in the guide:

Who should be included in this application?

If you are being sponsored as a member of the family class, your spouse or common-law partner (except where your spouse or common-law partner is the sponsor) must be included in your application as a family member.
