Question to Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)

[erihasting]

Hi there,

I did searched the forum but still a bit puzzled to who must fill in the form for IMM 5406E.

I'm the Canadian sponsor (husband) trying to help my Chinese wife(the principle applicant) to fill in this form. But one requirement that freeze us there going no where by:

Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) – You and each of your family members must complete
their own copy of this form.

I have a 20 year old daughter who's Canadian citizen, but since I divorced many year ago and I don't have contact to my ex-wife and my daughter at all. How can I get them to fill this form?

What if I don't include them to fill the form? will it be considered misrepresentation?

There is a note to the principle applicant saying:
Note: Your present address is the residential address where you and or your dependent(s) are
now physically living. It must be provided in both English and Chinese. If you do not provide an
accurate residential address, it could result in the refusal of your application for misrepresentation.

Should she list my daughter as step-daughter and address as N/A that's all?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If she is a Canadian citizen, she doesn't need to be sponsored. Therefore, that form is not required for her.

Hi

Yes, your wife does need to list her step-daughter on IMM5406. For the address, you can't put N/A, you need to explain it. Put something like "See additional sheet" and explain on the additional sheet that you guys aren't in contact with the daughter or the ex-wife and that you do not know her present address.

He is asking about the "step-daughter" filling in a copy of the form, not the spouse referencing her on the spouses form. Unless, of course, I have completely misunderstood the OPs question.

See the original post, he actually asked both. You addressed the first and I answered the second.

Yay! Teamwork...

So, to the OP, are you happy with the answers?

Yay! Teamwork...

thank you team I'm happier.

I just don't feel comfortable to explain too much the visa officer about this situation. will they actually contact my daughter in Canada? if the form doesn't required to fill by herself, can I use her previous known address and phone number?

Always be honest; putting her old details when you know they aren't correct is lying, a bad idea. They will not contact her. CIC has seen this situation before and they won't judge your app any differently because of it. Your wife simply needs to state that you haven't been in contact with your daughter for x time and no longer know her present location; she doesn't have to give more info than that.
