sponsorship Questions

[tink23]

Proof of medical must be submitted with the application or u risk them sending everything back. There is a form with your country specific that u bring to the medical exam, and then once the medical is completed they give u a similar form with that information plus some extra details with the immigration photo attached... they then forward the medical results onto your specified visa office. SEND THE MEDICAL PROOF WITH THE APPLICATION!

the medical is upon their request or i should have it before hand , also they changed some stuff in some applications where only the sponsor had to fill them and now it says both do like the generic application and the sponsorship application i believe

The medical goes with the application, but it is time sensitive and the validity of your COPR (Confirmation of Permanent Residence) will be tied to the validity of your medical, so do it as the last thing before you submit the application so it has maximum validity during processing time.

The forms are separated into Sponsorship and Immigration sections on the website, follow that and you'll be fine. Your wife fills out the Sponsorship forms, you fill out the Immigration forms. There are two forms which you both will sign, the Sponsorship Agreement, and the Use of a Representative Form, if needed. Other than that, the forms are to be filled out individually as stated before. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

i also found this on the site

As of February 6, 2012, sponsors and applicants for Permanent Residence are asked to complete both the new Application to sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344) form and the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). Sponsors and applicants are encouraged to complete the forms electronically and validate the information to generate 2D barcodes before printing. To ensure you have the most recent application forms, please use the link to the application forms.

Older versions of sponsorship application forms will still be accepted, but only until March 31, 2012.

No. You do not "reside" in Canada unless you are a citizen or a permanent resident. You are and remain a visitor so long as you do not hold one of those statuses.

I find the explanation regarding inland vs outland applications to be quite helpful so much I have now made up my mind to do outland given the time it takes to get PR approval - 11 months if you do inland. I was quite concerned about not being able to get a work permit if I applied outbound but since by the time the PR process is finished I would be able to get one the same time as getting the approval from inland. I have one question though - if I do outbound application and I am in Canada - can I still do the medical in Canada or would I need to do it in my home country?

The medical can be done anywhere, so long as you use a Designated Medical Practitioner, and ensure that you specify the correct visa office for your results on the Appendix C so that the doctor knows where it is going.

Ok thanks. How close to submitting the PR application could I do the medical as I am thinking of doing it in a week's time and then submitting the application in 4-6 weeks time.
