Hi everyone! :)
Just about to finish our spousal package and OPW application all in one! yay....
But I just have a quick question.

As it appears on the document checklist for "worker in Canada applicant" for OWP, I'm really only asked for a very few documents.

The form 5710
Proof of payment (receipt of 255)
Photocopies of my passport
Current WP
Photocopy of marriage certificate
and thats it!!!??????

My husband is a Canadian citizen, therefore the other items on the checklist doesn't really apply to him or me.
Im not a student or provincial nominee.
My husband is not a open work permit holder (HE IS A CANADIAN CITIZEN)
I don't have refugee status
I left those items blank (or should I write N/A next to the item????)

Im just extending my WP with the spousal package.

My question is also; is it really only those 5 documents I need to provide or do you think a copy of his passport to prove he is Canadian should be attached as well?? Any other documents I need other than that. Just seems a lot less than the spousal package :/

Hi

Don't bump your posts after 20 minutes. People give their time for free to advise on this forum and it can take some time to get an answer.

You don't need to submit anything else. The OWP app is being submitted with the sponsorship app, so they will be aware of your husband's status.
