IMM 0008, generic form

[blue_ray]

Hi guys,
My wife has the Canadian permanent residency card.
I am wondering how should I mention this in my application forms when submitting them to CIO!
As I understood, I should not include her information in the page 2 of IMM 0008, generic form.

thank you

hello?!

You should include her in your additional family information form because she is already PR, not in the IMM 0008

Leon and all

yes, in additional family info and in Details of Family Member's info in page 2 of IMM 0008 App for Perm Res in Canada. you could have skipped writing anything on that page 2 if you had no family ( family from your marriage)

I just checked. I could be wrong, Leon, could you pls check once again and tell?

Thanks all.

It clearly says on the form, IMM 0008, right above where you list family members:

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 she is already PR and does not belong on that form.

Yea, Tricky Identification by Leon. Thanks.

Hi fellas,
Despite of our understanding from the application manuals and despite of advises given to me by the officer in CIC call center, CIO returned my application package due to lack of information on IMM0008.
They asked me to complete the form for my wife as well as the background declaration form!

Maybe an IO with a brain blockage. Send them a letter again with a copy of the letter they sent you. Ask in your letter if they really want you to fill out IMM0008 to apply for PR for your wife who already has PR. If they say yes, I guess you'll just have to include her on the form although it seems very stupid to me. This is not according to what the instructions say.

Leon

you have been writing here for years now.
you think that the Immi officers have been hit by recession or any other problem?
is there any place in where suffering applicants can complain in such cases?

Any person in any profession can make a mistake. The same applies to an IO who is swamped with case files. Did the OP explain in his application that he is not including his wife on the IMM0008 because she is already a PR? Maybe he didn't in which case the IO assumes that his wife is not a PR and wants him to include her or maybe he did explain but the IO missed reading that. If you think you have been a victim of an IO mistake, ask other peoples opinion. If their understanding is the same, then you can send a letter to immigration asking for clarification if this could possibly be a mistake and hopefully you will get someone to take a closer look and maybe reverse the mistake or explain to you that it was not a mistake and why.
