Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008]
Additional Dependants/Declaration [IMM 0008DEP]

I already filled the IMM008 but at the it says something about Dependants and I have no kids with my partner so for sure I don't have to add those, but he is my common-law and my sponsor too, so do I have to add him as a dependant? Also it says: You must provide the following details about each of your family members whether they will be accompanying you to Canada or not. You must include your spouse or common-law, partner if applicable , and all of your dependent children, and those of your spouse or common.law partner, who are not already permanent residents or Citizens of Canada.

'
So what do I have to do??? Add all my family members, like mom, dad, brothers plus my common.law partner who is also my sponsor??



And the IMM 0008 DEP is just and extra form just in case you need to add more dependants and one isn't enough??

PLEASE HELP!

Family members refers only to your spouse and children.

It says right in the instructions you quoted to only include those who are not already permanent residents or Citizens of Canada; your spouse must be a citizen or PR to sponsor you, so he is not included.

As you have no children, you can remove the dependents section and do not need to include IMM0008DEP.

Confused .....sorry. I've turned into a blockhead over the years.

I'm sponsoring my wife of 10 years and together we have an 8 year old child. Our child already has Canadian citizenship.

So, I don't need to fill out this form, correct?

Thanks in advance
