IMM5443E checklist "Proof for income for sponsor"

[canadadubai]

Dear All,

In the IMM5443E checklist "Proof for income for sponsor" they mentioned that to Attached the following (((An original Option C printout for your last Notice of Assessment for the most recent taxation year along with printouts of all income slips T4,T4E,T5,T5007))

Note: I am a PR and my wife is on TRV and will apply for her sponsorship once I arrive to Canada (Inland) so how I will provide the PROOF of INCOME, as i am new in Canada my self?

And it is clearly mentioned that if the applicant DID NOT attach this proof in the application then (((the process will be delayed and it is the MOST COMMON REASONS FOR RETURNED APPLICATION)))

Please advise what to do as i will NOT have this proof when i am applying for the sponsoship!?

or just comment it will help

Thank you

I hope this means you were married after you landed, not before you landed.

Because there is no income requirement for spousal sponsorship, this is a fairly relaxed process - provide them with evidence of your income outside Canada previously. Translate the values into CAD using the Bank of Canada annual rates (this is the same thing you do for CRA when filing a Canadian tax return). Also demonstrate that you now have employment in Canada and show evidence of that. That will be sufficient for CIC.

They want to ensure you won't require social assistance.

Good Luck!

Yes i married AFTER landing,

Thanx,

BUt how i supposed to demonstrate that I have employment in Canada and show evidence of that!? i want to apply to sponsorship my wife once i do landing! so obviously will not have that evidence yet

and i have a related question,if i postponed my coming to Canada after i get our baby born in my country then also i dont have to worry? i mean following the same by provide them with evidence of my income outside Canada previously is enough??

OR the case is different if i have a baby i.e. 2 Persons to sponsor?

Good. That seems to be a common mistake people make, that makes their lives a nightmare.

Well, you can't sponsor until you are in Canada. So if you don't have employment at the time you submit the application, you will just need to show that you have financial resources sufficient to ensure you won't require social assistance. That's the point of the employment evidence, but it's not the only way to demonstrate financial capability.

and i have a related question,if i postponed my coming to Canada after i get our baby born in my country then also i dont have to worry? i mean following the same by provide them with evidence of my income outside Canada previously is enough??

If your baby is born in Canada he or she will automatically be a Canadian citizen, even if your wife's application is still pending. If your baby is born outside Canada, you will need to sponsor him/her as well as your wife. Again, there is no income requirement here, you just have to demonstrate to CIC that you won't require social assistance. That applies regardless of how many children you have.

Insurance coverage for your wife may very well depend upon the province in which you live, as well. Ontario requires AIP (first stage approval) before a spouse becomes eligible for health coverage, which means you might have to pay the costs yourself. Alberta and BC both offer coverage before that point (BC requires evidence that an application has been submitted, Alberta seems more lenient). PEI also appears to offer health coverage for spouses before they have become PRs as well. This can be a significant consideration in your own settlement plans - the extra $150 application fee for your child might be minor compared to coming to Canada and being forced to pay some or all of the costs of child birth.

Good luck!

PLEASE how Alberta offer coverage before that point? They don’t Required AIP??
My plan originally was to have the baby born in Canada ,BUT then I came to know that I have to wait the AIP and pay all the delivery expenses I changed my whole plan accordingly!

SO please how Alberta offer coverage before that point? Do you have any official links to read about it?i am really interested to go and settle down in alberta BUT the delivery is too expensive

please advise

Thank you

This is a bit confusing, I agree, because every province does things differently and many of the people giving advice on here focus on Ontario, where they do require AIP.

The key here is that as a PR to Canada, you are the one eligible for health benefits. Your wife in that case is your dependent and gains coverage because of your eligibility.

Here is the web page for Alberta: http://www.health.alberta.ca/AHCIP/registration-requirements.html

Your wife is not eligible to register on her own, but as long as you are a resident of Alberta and she is your dependent living with you, she is eligible under these guidelines. I first heard about this because of a number of spousal cases where the spouse moved to Canada and were given coverage because they were living with their spouse. There may be nuances here as well, for example, if her TRV is of short duration they may deem she is not living with you, but I'm not that familiar with Alberta's actual policy here.

Here is the link for BC: http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/msp/infoben/pdf/covering-a-spouse-or-child-who-is-an-applicant-for-permanent-resident-status-in-canada.pdf

In Ontario, what people usually do is go to a midwife - the cost of the midwife is paid for, but you must pay the costs of lab work (routine blood tests, etc.) Then the only risk is if there is a complication with the birth.

Good luck!
