Hi everyone, planning on submitting our application to sponsor my husband over the next few days and need some clarification regarding these issues:
1. Under IMM5533 Document Checklist (7th) question : If you are currently living together please provide the documentation from below 3 options
- a. Joint ownership or rental agreements
- b. Proof of joint utilities bill.
- c. Important documents where it shows both sponsor and the applicant are living in the same address.
For option (a) we are currently living with my parents and we don't have an official document about the rent or lease. For even option (b) we don't have any utilities bill, just a joint bank account. Is there any alternative solution for this?
2. Also, we are waiting for his family's attested birth certificates and family form (from Pakistan) and it is taking very long and is holding up our application (Document checklist says it is required, he has no dependents who are being sponsored with him). Is this necessary if we supply them with photocopies of his family's passports? Does his family include his sibling's spouses?
3. He has lived in Canada since he was 22, does he still need a Police Certificate from Pakistan or will he only need it from Canada? Just wondering if we should request the Police Certificate with the birth certificates to minimize delay?
Thank you so much, this forum has been invaluable!!
