IMM0008 - family class or spouse/common-law in Canada class ?

[petrikbb]

Hello there

I am confused about class option on IMM0008 form. It only gives me the option to select "Family" in the first question and "common-law partner" category. Now I would like to sponsor my partner INLAND and under "spouse or common-law partner in Canada" class. Do I have to select "Family" class on IMM0008 anyway? "Family" class and "spouse/common-law in Canada" class seem to be two different things on the checklist.

Inland vs Outland is nothing to do with IMM0008. It is specified by how you answer a particular question on the checklist.

'Family Class' is the broad CIC term that includes spousal sponsorship (whether married or common-law). Again, nothing to do with Inland vs Outland.
