Hi Friends

I am bit confused about selecting right form for sponsorship evaluation. I have Canada PR, living in Australia (Indian in PR) right now, moving to Canada next week. I want to sponsor my wife and daughter. I need to use form IMM 5481 or form Financial Evaluation form (IMM 1283)?

I have an offer in hand and will start to work from day one, so I really need to provide this IMM 1283?

I don’t have tax history in Canada

If you are sponsoring dependents, you'll need to submit IMM1283.

If your child happens to be a Canadian citizen and you are only sponsoring your wife, than you submit IMM 5481.

I am not sure about the minimum amount of income required, but that sounds about right for a family of three.

Good luck with it!

Sorry I should have added this question last time

I need to prove that I have earned more than minimum fund required for family of 3 in past 12 months, but it does not mean that I have to have that 32,000 CAD readily available in my bank account now? Please correct me if I am wrong

This is not completely correct.

If you are sponsoring a spouse with no dependents or a spouse with dependent(s) that have no dependents of their own you need to fill out the sponsorship evaluation form.

If you are sponsoring a spouse with dependent(s) that has a dependent of their own (i.e. grandchildren) you will need to fill out the financial evaluation form.

Sponsorships that involve a spouse and/or dependent children are exempt from financial requirements (LICO).

Sorry, that is correct.

The whole dependents things always confuses me.

Still, with a child, I am sure CIC will want to know that you are capable of supporting them (I'm talking about a dependent child). Being unemployed would make it hard to meet your obligations as the sponsor. So, even though there is no financial requirement, I think there is in a way...

What does it mean on 6 A. Your spouse or common law partner if not listed on the Generic Application Form (IMM 0008 )

Since you are sponsoring your wife and daughter, you most likely have entered "2" in box 3 of IMM 0008 form in the Application Details section, therefore no need to list your wife's name in 6a. of IMM 5481. That box is reserved when a spouse is not the principal applicant or is not part of the application for PR.
