Spousal Sponsorship Questionnaire IMM 0008

[Newco76]

Hello,
to all that can help, or think they can help
My wife is a Canadian citizen living in USA. We are in the process of entering application information for family sponsorship. My concern is On Form 0008 Generic Application Form, on page 4, the question concerning National Identity Document .
My question is: Does the Canadian ( SIN ) Social Insurance Number qualify as a National Identity Document? Her Canadian passport has expired, should I use the expired number.

I can't see where on IMM0008 that it refers to your question, but on the Checklist IMM5533, on page 4, part B Supporting Documents required, it lists 1 of the following 4 items for the sponsor to provide (read for more details of each):

citizenship certificate
citizenship card
birth certificate
passport

OR

Indian Status card

The national ID required there is the PA’s not the sponsor’s. If the PA has a national ID they should enter it. If they don’t they they just put N/A. Not all countries issue national IDs
