Questions regarding Sponsorship Applicaiton - IMM1344E

[das.cs]

Hi,

I am a permanent resident of Canada and my wife is staying with me in Canada. Both of us are graduate students here in a Canadian university and we both receive funding from our graduate supervisors. The current status of my wife in Canada is "international student" and I would like to apply for the Permanent Residence through the spouse category. Now, I have a few specific questions regarding the application to sponsorship agreement - IMM1344E:

1. If you are found ineligible to sponsor, indicate whether you want to..
a. Withdraw your sponsorship application. All processing fees less $75 will be refunded.
b. Proceed with the application for permanent residence. Processing fees will be retained.


Question: I am confused about what should I choose here. What will happen if I choose the option (b) here? If they find me ineligible to sponsor, how they would proceed?

2. Is there a co-signer in this application?

Question: As my wife is receiving funding also from her supervisor, I would like to submit her financial information (i.e., back account statement, funding confirmation letter etc.) along with mine for the sponsorship application. Now, should I choose 'Yes' and provide my wife's name in this field of sponsorship applicaiton?

Thank you very much in advance!

If you are found ineligible to sponsor you withdraw as there is no point in spending your money on continuing the application.
A cosigner is someone who agrees to be responsible if the applicant goes on welfare in the first three years of being in Canada. So basically the cosigner would be responsible for financial support of the applicant and have to repay the government if the applicant goes on welfare.

1. Withdraw. The only reason to proceed with the application if the sponsor is found ineligible is if there are H&C grounds.

2. As stated in the guide: Note: If you are sponsoring your spouse or common-law partner, you cannot have a co-signer. However, you can include proof of your wife's income.

Thank you very much for the informative reply. Following your suggestion, I won't include any co-signers in the application. But I will submit evidence of my wife's income. Thanks a lot again!

I would like to sponsor my wife and her dependent son. Do I fill out two sponsorship applications? One for the spouse and one for the child?

I may not have been clear enough. I am speaking of the initial application to be considered a sponsor.
