I have tried to google these questions and I find the actual official website to be inefficient when trying to find information.

I am doing the family class sponsorship application. My significant other will be sponsoring me to live there, he is Canadian, I am an American. Background information: I was denied access into Canada about 8 or so months ago over a silly misunderstanding on my part where I had accidentally over stayed (edit: I just learned the term is I guess called flagpoling, I had no idea, lol), my border guards told me I just had to stay out of the country, living and working for 6 months before I could come back, so that time has lapsed. I was previously a university student and graduate from a Canadian institution and I have worked in Canada.

Question one: I cannot find my UCI number, I have previously lived in Canada before as a Student and had a work Visa. The work visa was left in Canada, I no longer have the student one. When filling the application out, what do I do if I do not have that number? Is there a way for me to find it?

Question two: How will I know if I need an interview for my application? Will it be before I send in the application that I find out or after?

Question three: How do I know which office to process the application at? This is question 4 on the sponsored partner generic form.

Question four: Do I do my portion of the application and documents and then send it to my sponsor and have him send the whole thing as a single package?

Question five: Do I do my medical testing after he sends it or before? (The physician I will be going to uses something called E-Medical.)

Question six: How do I know if I am in the e-medical system? I was in the Canadian health care system previously but I am guessing E-Medical is different? How do I apply into it? How do I even find information on it??

Question seven: What are acceptable national identity documents other than a passport or is a passport "good enough"?

Thank you all for your time and answers, I really REALLY appreciate it. These applications can be highly anxiety inducing. :'(

I would post your questions to the Family Sponsorship section of this forum and also spend some time reading through the older posts there.

Hello,
I added my spouse to my application in process with CPP Ottawa in March 2014 , but unfortunately instead of adding him as Accompanying I clicked Non Accompanying . Later on I emailed the cic Officer that it was an error and asked to amend but by then I received an email from Officer requesting Sponsorship documents . My lawyer says I don't need to send Sponsorship documents as I am adding him not sponsoring. I don't understand who to follow ... Any kind of help from you guys will be appreciated ..

1) If you don't know, leave it blank

2) You will not know until they ask.

3) Here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp#u you see that if you are from the US, you should be processed in CPC-O (Ottawa). In some cases, you can have a choice of a visa office, say if you are from one country but legally reside in another. In your case, that is not the case.

4) Yes.

5) Looking at your checklist at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3910e.pdf you will see that you must send proof of medicals along with your application so you must have them before you send it in.

6) Get the medicals done. The doctor will send them in electronically but you will have a receipt stating that you have done them which you will send in with your application.

7) I suppose you mean the question "Do you have a national identity document?" In some countries, people have official ID documents aside from their passport. This is not the case in the US so just say no.
