The document checklist doesn't mean for you to type out a written answer it's only showing you that you need to include proof that the sponsor will return to Canada, so if you have to answer this question specifically for another form then you can just checkmark the document checklist to show that this information is included.
For this question you should write a detailed cover letter explaining why the sponsor is not in Canada and all the details of their plans to move back. However, I should warn you that I don't think just a written explanation will be enough. You will want to include an offer of employment from a Canadian company if you can get one, quotes from moving companies, proof of property ownership in Canada or some sort of rent agreement to show you have somewhere to live, letters from Canadian family members that say that they know about and support that you are moving to Canada. Any of these things and anything else that you can think of that would show your sponsors intent to return to Canada.
thank you agrand8. you are right, makes sense. not sure how i overlooked that. but a great reply nevertheless. i will keep you posted on my answer to my plans to move back , see what you think.
thank you, here is another one confusing question on the spousal sponsorship Questionnaire IM5540:
I am the sponsor, my wife the applicant.. we both reside in Dubai.
question 15 on IMM5440 says:
#15: are you a naturalized Canadian or permanent resident of Canada?
Answer options : Yes or No
My answer is YEs ( well, first of all we were "Landed Immigrants" and not sure if that is different that PR? but since i am a Canadian citizen by naturalization my answer would be yes)
if YEs: on what date did you become a permanent resident? (so is that the date i entered
Canada? or is that the date my PR papers were issued before i move to Canada? or even the date my citizenship was issued? or the date i was sworn in?)
it gets even trickier on the next question:
"Which Canadian Visa Office issued your immigrant Visa or confirmation of permanent residence?" ( how the heck do i know that? i moved to Canada 18 years ago. How do i even get this information? what Canadian visa offices are there? should i just put like :Toronto? )
Anothe question from "Application to sponsor From IMM1344:
Question 7:
are you a permanent resident or naturalized Canadian citizen... provide the date on which you obtained this status?
well, im a naturalized Canadian and received my citizenship card in 1999. but on my citizenship card, there is no "Day,Month" on the issue date, its just the year. it says : 1999. when filling out this question however, by default they need Day, Month and Year, otherwise the application will not validate.
Anybody else have issues with this?
what should i Do?
Help Please.
