I am a Canadian citizen, born in Canada and sponsoring my wife who lives in the Philippines. I have completed all my forms but for some reason, I'm not getting Questions:

9) Are you a naturalized Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada ?

check the --Yes box or the No box... I am neither, I was born here. Should i just ignore this question ?


11) Are you currently living in Canada ?

if Yes, it asks "Since When " ..... should I ignore this question also...


I know its simple... I'm simply stuck .. maybe too tired :)

paul :D

9) You were born in Canada. Select "no"

11) If you have lived in Canada your entire life enter your date of birth. If you lived abroad and moved back to Canada enter that date.


Don't skip any questions.

Thank you ImABule...

so simple but so important. I don't know, but based on reading though some of the posts and the extreme frustration expressed everywhere. that it much of these common problems could be avoided with better choice of language by the government.

For example, one of the common questions I see posted is how to prepare a submission package. Seems to me that the government could develope a 10 minute YouTube video on how to organize various packages based on their preferences.. so simple, Yes ?

I was stuck on those questions too. Seems odd that you would have to put your birth date to say since when you have been living in Canada. But that's what I did too.

I am sponsoring my wife from the Philippines as well. I just sent her the docs to sign via FedEx. Can't believe you can't Fax them.

I tried to use the popular method of using 3 envelopes.. 1. Sponsor forms and docs. 2. PA forms and docs 3. Relationship proofs..


But I had so much proofs I ended up using 6 envelopes lmao.
