I am a Canadian by birth, born in Canada and am just beginning the process of sponsoring my common-law wife from Ukraine under family class. We have been in a common-law relationship since early 2005 and have 3 children together (birth years 2006, 2008, 2012) (2 born in Ukraine and 1 in Canada). All 3 have Canadian citizenship and passports. Neither my wife or I have any other children and neither of us has been married or common-law previously.
1. In our case, in form IMM5481E, for question 5A is the answer ONE (my common-law wife), and question 6B is where I would put our 3 children?
2. In the immigrant forms it mentions many times “family members” - “you and your dependants” when asking for information. Then It says if you do not provide this information you may not be able to sponsor them at a later date.
Our children are already all Canadian citizens. So does that mean I don’t need to provide the information about our children since they are already Canadian citizens? (with the exception of form IMM5406E “Additional Family Information”)
3. This is related to the previous question. For immigrant form IMM008DEP (Additional Dependants) would our children be listed as additional dependants?
4. Are the birth certificates of our 3 children sufficient proof of our common-law relationship or more information is required?
