I am living in Quebec and sponsoring my Filipina wife. A few days ago she received an email, asking to submit three documents so the processing could be completed. Here they are, pasted from the letter:

-CSQ: Certificat de sélection du Québec from the ministère de l'Immigration et des
Communautés culturelles
-A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669)
bearing an original signature. Please make sure that you do not leave any gaps. Provide
details of your personal history from Nov 2014 to present
-Adivisory on Marriages (AOM) issued by Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Please note
that this document is different from marriage certificate.
The CSQ I received a few days ago, and the AOM she easily obtained a copy of it from the NSO.

When it comes to the IMM 5669 document, the problem is that when we originally completed it, we did not have enough room to insert all of her personal history (there are only five rows, which for a period of time up to ten years, I find ridiculously insufficient). I asked about it here, and someone suggested to insert the rest of the personal history (November 2014 onward) on a piece of paper that I would include right after the form, which I did, along with an explanation.

Somehow though it seems it didn't meet their requirements.

What I am not sure about is... do I need to provide her whole personal history from the last ten years on the new copy of the form, or just the part that was missing (from nov 2014, as stated above)? There is not enough room to write down everything... would they refuse the document again if it doesn't comprise her whole history, or are they asking in the email to just insert her history from November 2014 onward?

Also, would it be okay to scan these three documents and submit them electronically, or do they have to be physically shipped out?

One thing that worried me is that there was a mistake when it comes to her town of birth on our marriage contract... we started the process of getting it fixed last November, and just a few days ago she was able to get a copy with the corrected town of birth. However, it seems they are not asking for a fixed marriage contract or an affidavit, which surprises me (the right town of birth was on her other submitted documents).

Anyway the good news is that she also received another email, asking to provide her passport and two passport pictures to a Visa application center, for her upcoming permanent residency... I am surprised it seems to be moving very fast (we submitted it at the end of January 2017!).

The only downside is that I am to visit her again within a month or so, and we wanted to visit Singapore for a few days... if her passport is in the hands of the government during this time, she would be denied entry. We already bought the tickets too. :(

Wow, congrats on the timing! I also applied late January but will mentally expect it to be done January 2018 as worst case. My wife is also in Phils.

I got the same letter as you last Friday. They asked for Personal History and Address since she was 18 OR for the last 10 years. When we first submitted with original app, we did not give a lot of detail.

We created our own excel template to MATCH the form they gave use. We added a crazy amount of detail. The first time, we did not. So we wanted to be sure we gave them everything they wanted.

I even googled it and found some sample forms where people added tons of details for their personal history and all addresses. Even addresses for 3 day hotel stays when we were together in Phils.

Hope this helps!

I did not yet send it again, but for the second time, I ended up making a table with Word that roughly matched the appearance of question 8. In the original form in question 8, I wrote "SEE ANNEXED FORM".

I did not go too crazy over it, though. There were times where we went to another city for a few days, or where she did the same to see a relative. But it would amount to so much, it just seems crazy and impossible to remember the dozens of times where she left town for a few days.

I just put in her main address of residence for each time period, and whether she was unemployed or working, and if she was working for how long. But I made sure there were not any gaps.

Good luck! Hope it goes well for you.

We submitted ours last Monday and are hoping it is right this time.
