Very Urgent:

We would like to know what documents we will need to have filled out for this process. Please is there anyone with this experience or knows exactly what we have to do and is there anyone who has sent the whole file to Mississauga recently.

Thank You so much for your information but I have one question: What is Option - C printout from CRA for sponsor?

Thank You so much for your information but I have one question: What is Option - C printout from CRA for sponsor?

you are most welcome. if you have filed taxes for past years you can call CRA and ask them to send option-c. if you did not file taxes for last few years, you can send one cover letter explaining why didnt you send option-c with substitute documents such as interest income from saving or investment, other income proof like rental income, business income for last preceding 12 months.

option-c is something different than tax forms, cic doesnt want to see your tax forms but option-c printout. which has everything about your life in canada such as address, marital status, govt benefits and everything else. if you are outside canada you need to give proof for your return to canada after your husband receives his PR like arranged house, rental agreement, job offer, admission in university etc.

Hi Bettycamus

I'm presently working also on my application. I'm from Ottawa and my hubby from Egypt.
You can contact me via my email (see my profile) if you want. We could help each other in this long and stressful procedure.
