OMG, did I screw up??

So I was just reading through some random topics here and it got me super paranoid about our application that we just sent out this week!

There seem to be some issues regarding mailing address vs residential address. I (sponsor, Canadian citizen) have been living with my husband in his home country, Guatemala. On our forms, I listed my residential address as the one here in Guatemala, but kept my mailing address in Canada. From what I have read, that might've been a mistake. And I should've sent a "Use of Representative" form, in case they want to mail things to my mailing address in Canada? But I provided an email address which it says they will use exclusively to communicate..

Can they send back our application for a small mistake like this?
Am I losing it over nothing?
This process is testing my sanity lol

No, I think you've got it right.

Probably... ;D

It tests everyone's sanity. Trust me, you're not alone...

Haha thank you for your answer!

I thought the process of preparing our application was stressful, but now the waiting and second guessing is even worse!

If for some reason CIC sends back an application, do they send it back via regular mail? I'm only asking because the mail service here is Guatemala is terrible! We would probably receive it back next year...

I believe to represent your spouse the applicant you still need a use of representative form. Or everything after sponsorship will go to the spouse.

Well that's ok.. wether it goes to my email or his, we live together so we'll get the message either way

If you'll read those posts again, you will see that the issue you are referring to is when an APPLICANT in Canada puts their Canadian mailing address and a foreign residential address.
