NEW DELHI (NDVO) - 2016 SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE CANADA

[Aamm]

Another question my friends.

I am a Canadian citizen now. My wife is from India. We got married in December 2015. My wife and I were never married to anyone before, and we do not have any children. My wife is populating the checklist for the 'sponsored'. Below are the forms she is filling up from her side. ('Yes' meaning she is filling, and 'No' meaning that she is not filling).

IMMIGRATION FORMS
Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) - YES
Additional Dependants/Declaration (IMM 0008DEP) - NO
Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) - YES
Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) - YES
Sponsored Spouse/Partner Questionnaire (IMM 5490) - YES
Use of a Representative (IMM 5476) - NO
Supplementary Information Form (Details of Foreign Travel) - YES

As for the checklist for the India specific, she is using the IMM3904E document for the India, and putting tick mark for the "yes" ones, and N/A for the "no" ones for the item 1.

The thing is that this document 3904 does not have a checkbox next to the forms "Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669)" and "Use of a Representative (IMM 5476)" in the item 1 "IMMIGRATION FORMS". Not sure how did CIC miss that.

Can you please share your inputs on how you dealt with it?

Please help answer these two questions I just posted and share your inputs. Thanks a lot.

To answer regarding the missing checkbox... We had the same thought as you did.. After pondering on it for five minutes, we drew our own checkbox (where there should have been one) and put a tick if it was yes, and N/A if it was no ..
I am waiting for SA at this moment and didn't get any reply with missing or incorrect filling of forms, which means - they were okay with us doing that.

Hi,

Pls find answers below:

1. As for the checklist for the India specific, she is using the IMM3904E document for the India, and putting tick mark for the "yes" ones, and N/A for the "no" ones for the item 1. Thats right, include Document checklist IMM5491 in Sponsor's Envelope and Information Guide IMM3904 in Sponsered Spouse's Envelope

2. The thing is that this document 3904 does not have a checkbox next to the forms "Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669)" and "Use of a Representative (IMM 5476)" in the item 1 "IMMIGRATION FORMS". Not sure how did CIC miss that. you are right and if u see closely CIC missed out on Schedule A Background declaration IMM 5669, there is no check box for this too. But I believe as long as u put check marks in document checklist IMM 5491 and include all the above mentioned forms in respective envelopes all should be fine.

BTW have you got your "Notice of Assessment" for most recent year. If yes, how long did that take. I am in Toronto and planning to apply for "notice of assessment and Option C" next week.

Good Luck.

Hi CanadaVisa,

Have you already submitted the application ? - If not, just wanted to say - they don't require Option C form anymore. Option C form used to take about 5-7 days to come in mail, so if you haven't submitted the application and are waiting on that; then don't wait on it.

Notice of assessment - you can download it from your CRA account online.

Just thought of mentioning it.

Thank you canadavisa1986 for your response.

Option-C is not needed anymore as per the new checklist revised in Feb 2016. We just need notice of assessment that I believe can be downloaded from the CRA site. However, I plan to wait for the official copy of "Notice of Assessment" from CRA for a few days, as I was told by my tax consultant that it would take about 2-3 weeks to get it in mail/post from CRA.

Thank you Aamm for your response. That's a good idea. I plan to have my wife draw a thin line corresponding to the form name when the checkbox is not available when it should have been made available, and put a tick mark or N/A accordingly.

I left it blank as my wife (principal applicant) didn't have a file number at the time of applying.
I think you have to leave it blank.

I would think writing 'N/A' is a better option, instead of leaving it blank.

Yes, actually thinking about it now, its better to write N/A.

Hello,

I don't think you, as a sponsor, have to get it filled by your wife. As you are the sponsor, you will have access to information to view the progress.
The form is for a third party.

That's what I think. Maybe someone else can correct if I am mistaken.
