Hi friends,
I am a Permanent Resident of Canada and I want to sponsor my common-law wife and our child. We have continuous relationship (Almost 10 years) and we have a 2 years old son. Right now I'm located in Bulgaria with them, but I plan to come back to Canada and resided there. Now I'm preparing a documents for the sponsorship. I have few questions and I'll be very happy, if someone of you can help me and give me an advice:
1. Can I prepare all documents right now and when I came back to Canada just to forward them to Missisagua, or I need to live for a some period of time in Canada before to submit an application. (We lived together for almoust 3 years in Bulgaria). If I can prepare the documents right now, is there will be a problem with the dates of our signatures, because i know that i need to apply from Canada (I'm not canadian citizen, only PR) and we will fill the application before i resided in Canada.
2. I see that there is a Country Specific Instructions for East Europe (IMM3902e). There is point 8 called CHILDREN'S INFORMATION.
Consent for immigration
If you have children under 18 years of age who will accompany you to Canada, you must submit an original notarized consent form (see end of Appendix A) signed by the other parent allowing your children to immigrate with you. This document will not be returned to you.
I see this consent forms at the end of Appendix A, but I think that in my case when I whant to sponsor my common-law partner and our child I DONT need to fill it. What is your opinion did i need to fill this consent forms when I have PR card and I whant to sponsor two of them??? And instead of this did I need to provide notarized certificate document that I give right to my child to travel with my wife (I think that this document need to be shown on the Bulgarian airport when they will travel to Canada.) If I don't need to fill this consent forms and leave Children's information unmarked is there will be a problem in the future with my application???
Thank you for your time and answers
