Hi everyone,
i opened a separate thread with no luck....so would appreciate some comments
I've filled in most of the forms, but had a few things I was not sure about...
General qs:
1. After the changes of last year, is there a difference in processing time or anything else between inland and outland? My wife is here, so planning to do inland with OWP. Previously, because outland processing was faster, we were going to do outland.
2. We are planning to include an open work permit application - does that being granted require a medical report to be sent in? We can't do medical now as my wife is approx 16 weeks pregnant
Form specific:
Checklist
1. The supporting documents for sponsor section of application has section 3, which asks:
"Do you (sponsor) and the person you are sponsoring have (a) child(ren) together who may have a claim to Canadian citizenship?
In our case, we have a son who was born in August 2016. I have a birth certificate and SIN for him, so I am not sure how to answer this.
2. The supporting documents for sponsored persons (principal applicant and all family members), requires the following; you (the principal applicant) must provide the following (photocopies only) for yourself and your family members....
a. most recently issued passport or travel document for you and all family members (who will accompany you to Canada)
In our case, I assume that our Canadian son, nor I, need to provide anything here. Can anyone confirm?
b. Birth certificates for yourself and all family members, whether accompanying to Canada or not.
In our case, my wife has parents and a brother and sister. Of course none are immigrating with her. I am fairly certain that means that we would not include anythng for them, but confirmation would be nice.

1. Question 3 reads as follows:
How many family members, including you, are in this application?
I assume I do not need to include myself, or my son, as we are already citizens. Can anyone please confirm?
2. The section on dependants, reads as follows:
You must provide the following details about each of your family members, whether accompanying you to Canada or not. You must include your spouse or common law partner, if applicable, and all of your dependent children, and those of your spouse or common law partner, who are not already permanent residents or citizens of Canada.
The wording is slightly confusing - in our case, I assume that as above, I do not include my wifes parents or siblings. I also assume that I do not include myself or our son. Can anyone please confirm?

Who exactly needs to fill this in? The chekclist says princpial applicant and any family members 18 years and older. As a Canadian citizen, do I fill this in? I am thinking it is my wife only, but again not quite clear...
Thanks in advance for the help!
