Here's are two questions in case anyone can answer them.
1) I'm about to file my application for Permanent Residence as a Landed Immigrant in Canada (I'm already in the country).
In the "Generic Application Form for Canada" IMM 008 (07-2012) E, it asks me to fill in the field "2. Immigration office requested for processing this application."
As I haven't lived in Canada for a year already, and I'm Greek, would that mean I must put in Rome as that office? Or can I use Ottawa?
2) At the end of my tourist visa in a few months (and before the sponsorship process is complete) I was told by a local immigration assistance group that I needn't do anything to renew it. As they aren't an official authority I just want to make sure that's the case - does anyone know?
3) Finally... does my wife, who's my sponsor, need to also file a Background form for herself as well, or is that only for me?
Thanks in advance to anyone who has any answers!
John.
