Pre-Assessed..
I am sponsoring my husband and currently answering all the application forms, which form do I have to complete the sponsorship evaluation or the financial evaluation? I read the part that:

The Sponsorship Evaluation form will help us assess your past and current obligations with respect to sponsorship undertakings you have signed or co-signed. Do not use this form if the person you are sponsoring

* is your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner and has dependent children who have dependent children of their own, or
* is your child, or a child of your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, and has dependent children of his or her own.

Instead, you must complete the Financial Evaluation form and attach it with your application. You can obtain one by downloading a copy from our website, ordering it electronically on the application page of our website or by contacting our Call Centre (the form and accompanying instructions are labelled IMM 5482).

From the completed Sponsorship Evaluation form and the supporting documents you will be sending with your application, we should be able to determine whether you meet the residency requirement and whether you have the ability to support the person you are planning to sponsor and his or her family members.

Refer to Sections 17, 18 and, if applicable, 19 of the document checklist for a description of the documents you must provide in support of your application to prove your ability to fulfil your sponsorship obligations. Failure to provide evidence of your income may result in the return of your application.


I just want to make sure that I send the right form.


Thank you so much in advance...

If you and your husband do not have any dependent children, do the Sponsorship Evaluation.

It says you shouldn't use the Sponsorship Evaluation form if your spouse HAS dependent children of his own. This is when you must use the financial evaluation form.

The way I read it, it says:

* is your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner and has dependent children who have dependent children of their own, or
* is your child, or a child of your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, and has dependent children of his or her own.

So, unless your spouse/CL /conjugal partner has dependent kids who have dependent kids of their own, then you do the Sponsorship Evaluation.

Hi there,

I have a question regarding which form I should use. I'm going to sponsor my husband. if my husband has dependent children but it's not under his custody and we're not enclosing his kids in the sponsorship application. So should I use sponsorship Evaluation or financial evaluation ?

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for the answer to this question as well. I have 2 dependent children, but they will be non-accompanying. Which form does my Sponsor fill out? He has two children of his own as well. I'm beyond confused!

Oh, I think I've got it. We only do form IMM1283 if there are grandchildren. Ohhhh. That was a confusing read!
