What are the documents requirements for non-accompanying spouse that we have to proivde?
When applying for permanent residence (PR) through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) via the non-Express Entry process, it's s crucial to declare all family members, including a non-accompanying spouse. This ensures that you retain the ability to sponsor them in the future. The specific documentation required for a non-accompanying spouse includes:
1. Proof of Relationship:
Marriage Certificate: A copy of your official marriage certificate.
For Common-Law Partners: If applicable, provide a Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union (IMM 5409) to establish the relationship.
2. Additional Forms:
Schedule A Background/Declaration (IMM 5669): This form requires detailed personal history and background information.
Additional Family Information (IMM 5406): This form collects information about your immediate family members, including your spouse
3. Identification Documents:
Passport Copies: Clear copies of your spouse passport pages showing their photo, personal details, and any amendments.
National Identity Card: If applicable, a copy of your spouse national ID card.
4. Civil Status Documents:
Divorce or Death Certificates: If your spouse was previously married, provide divorce decrees or death certificates to confirm the end of prior marriages.
5. Police Certificates:
Your non-accompanying spouse may be required to provide police certificates from countries where they have resided for six months or more since turning 18. This is to ensure admissibility and security clearance.
6. Photographs:
Recent passport-sized photographs of your spouse that meet the specific requirements outlined by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
7. Proof of Name Change:
If your spouse has ever changed their name, provide legal documents supporting the name change, such as a marriage certificate or official name change certificate.
8. Medical Examination:
Even if not accompanying you, your spouse may need to undergo a medical examination by an IRCC-approved panel physician to ensure they meet health requirements.
9. Additional Supporting Documents:
Proof of Ongoing Relationship: Evidence such as communication records, photographs together, or financial support documents to demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship.
Childrens Documents: If you have children together, include their birth certificates and any relevant custody documents.
Ensure that all documents are clear, legible, and, if not in English or French, accompanied by certified translations. Organize your application package according to the document checklist provided by IRCC to facilitate efficient processing.
