Spousal sponsorship

[rhcohen2014]

people use boxes and envelopes to send the applications, so whichever works best for you.

it's ok to print the pictures out on paper, as long as they are clear and good quality. I put all my pics in power point slides and printed thm out.

police certificates are valid for 3 months, as long as CIC receives it within 3 months of it being issued, it is unlikely a new one will be needed.

i'm really not sure how many pictures were in my app total. i really don't think it was more than 20 or 30? Plus, i duplicated some of the wedding pictures. the sponsor and applicant apps together were 95 pages total, including all required docs.

for our relationship timeline and the times we visited eachother, i wrote little blurbs and included dates, what we did, where we were and who we were with. i would then insert a picture next to the blurb if one was available. i also created slides with 4-5 pics each of wedding pics and engagemnt pics, took screenshots of "highlights" for each year on FB, and a pic of our signed and witnessed wedding ketubah (jewish marriage contract). i did not caption any pictures with names. i did not submit skype or phone logs. I did include receipts for as many trips i could find and copies of a few cards. When explaining our ceremony & reception (separate occasions), i named every person who was there, as well as the vendors we used, and sent copies of receipts for the venues. i don't know how well it's been received yet. i just submitted my passport, and no additional requests so far. hopefully it's enough to get a decision made! fingers crossed!

Wooow, that is good enough rochen, i think outland apps carries more pages of apps(95 Pages) than inland. Although we are applying inland but the aspect of sponsor's spouse questionnaire is almost 40 pages with pictures stating the location and date.
Thanks once again for sharing

They ask for your actual passport? Also you say more information was requested under your stats..What additional info was needed?

no, they requested a COPY of my passport, which is common for visa exempt applicants. it's to confirm the information is still the same. when we sent the package, i did not include the additional family form, so i needed to submit that in order for the application to be considered complete and get sponsor approval.

I see, I copied mine so thank you for the info.

yes, a copy is required for the application, AND they may request another copy when the application goes into process. this is called the passport request (PPR). Ottawa seems to be bypassing this request for some recent applicants, but not all. As visa exempt applicants, we don't need to send the physical passport when it's requested, just a scanned copy.

Just got and email from CIC regarding my application received in May29, 2014. Alas it wasn't SA but a request for more information or missing as they said. I quote...

"This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted to this office on behalf of XXXXXX and family (if applicable). We are not able to process your application as it is incomplete. You are missing the following:> Court Ordered Pay -: According to the information on Option C printout for 2013 tax year you may have a support obligation to dependent(s) owed under a court order or domestic contract/agreement. Please provide documented proof of the status of payment obligations from 2014/05/29 to Current. This must be received at this office by: 2014/09/26. "

Has anyone had a request for this kind of information? What additional info did you send to them that worked?

Would ally appreciate some advice here.Thanks

again, it's recommended to edit out the personal information above. it looks as though full names and case file number are present. this is a public forum that shows up on search results and information can be used without your consent.

Ok, after Aug. 1st, do any children 19+ need to be included in the IMM 0008? Do a 5406? 5669? Thanks.

No. They are no longer considered dependent once they reach age 19.

No. They are no longer considered dependent once they reach age 19.

even though they aren't "Dependent", they still need to be included in the "additional family form" (5406), correct? I would think not including them on that would cause issues...
