I did a table format. :) thank you!
Now I am just a little concerned by the number of names... It's more than a page already...
You don't have to write every single person you or the applicant met . You could include a separate piece of paper with that extra info if you wanted to . Make sure when you add an additional paper to put applicant name and date of birth and the form # and question # on it at the top.

Noted. Thank you!
How about the photographs?
For the outings/trips and wedding ceremony...
It says that photos should be loose. What's the best way to attach the photos in the application?

photos can be loose OR printed out on regular printer paper. CIC just doesn't want people sending frames or albums. Many people print the pictures out on standard paper and submit it that way. there is no issue with this.

Do you know if they check credit history of Sponsor?
I am sure that they check if the sponsor got any social help in the past years, criminal record and stuff like that but what else do they check?
They check for bankruptcy.

5a) 1
5bi) 0
5bii) 0
5biii) 0
5biv) 0
6a) 0
6b) 0

7) 2

Q8 Have you reside in countries other than Canada?
If they wanted only the time after you became a PR, they would say that. They are asking in your whole life.

Hi Guy,
I'm confused how to answer question 5 of the Sponsorship Evaluation – (IMM 5481). I'm sponsoring my wife (we married in January), and she is my only undertaking,
" Number of persons included in box#3 of the generic Application Form Canada IMM 0008, unders section Application Details "

application IMM 0008 will be filled by my wife only ,,so they are referring to her application, right ?

my understanding is that i will answer like this
i will only fill the box under Q5 A with one , is that right ?..

also in the end of the form where it asks to fill the "details of the family members included in the undertakings in effect or not in effect yet"
Im not sure if i have to fill my wife details and where ??
userpg said:
I had the same problem with Q5 IMM5481 - my wife is sponsoring me so we put in question4 yourself: 1 person, question5: current undertaking: 1 person (meaning me) Question 7: total: 2 persons. I think that this is correct, but someone let me know :)

"Details of family members included in the untertakings in effect or not in effect yet" - as you can see it's about 'Persons included in previous undertakings you signed as a sponsor...

Someone please check if I'm right. Thanks :)
Anyone knows the answers? :)

You can not start Study on Visitor visa.If you are not Canadian Citizen,PR or on Study Permit you will not be able to study before get Study Permit.
i would recommend to wait for sometime to save Money as an International student study is expensive
Incorrect. A person can study as a visitor provided the course is less than 6 months long.
