For spousal sponsorship can you mail the sponsorship application separate to the rest of the application work permit etc ?

Hey guys...I am in the process of filling out my application to sponsor my husband and I have a question I was hoping someone could answer about signatures.My husband is Egyptian and I was wondering if he should sign his part of the application in his native language arabic or in English? He is able to write his name in English but its not his everyday signature. I was told he should sign it in his everyday normal signature which would be arabic and that would be fine but i just wanted to see if any of you have done this and was it ok. Thanks
He should sign as he does everyday. My husband is Algerian and I'm Moroccan we signed as we do everyday. It doesn't have to be English. But I advice that ur husband takes some English classes to improve himself as it will help u a lot in the future. Wishing u great of luck!

Rabat, Morocco (Visa Office) HELP ! Or any other Office doing the same thing!
They called me last Friday and asked me where is my husband? what does he do? what's his job? and 3 Months before they asked me for extra documents to be sent to the office? Is this normal? did any of u experience the same thing?
If yes, how long it actually took to get a decision made after all this? (taking into consideration that my ecas did not update to "in process" yet !
I'm in desperate need of help please :-[

You've posted your question to the wrong section. Try International Students or Foreign Workers.

You must mail the sponsor and applicant sections together. Otherwise your application will be returned to you as incomplete.

If a form states that "Sponsors living in Quebec need not complete this form" (IMM 5481) which is the Sponsorship Evaluation form, then how will they obtain that information from me (financial information)? Is this where CSQ comes in?

Thanks for your post, it was very informative. I'm a Canadian citizen (born and raised in Edmonton, AB) living in the UK with my English husband. We would like to move to Canada as soon as he gets his permanent residency. Im confused about one thing though - on the document checklist for sponsoring a spouse through the family class act, it says I need to provide 12 months of pay stubs + a letter from my employer. I've been living in London for the past three yrs as a stay at home mom, Im not employed, my husband is the sole earner. Can I still sponsor him?

Also, is sponsoring my spouse and him applying for permanent residency one and the same thing? or are there two separate applications we both need to fill out and send? Also, at the moment Im back in Edmonton visiting family. Can I send the application for him from here then go back to the UK? Or should I sponsor him from the UK once I return?

You are referring to item 19 on the checklist, correct? If so that is only if you need to meet the minimum income requirement. If it is just your husband you are sponsoring and you both have no other dependents then this does not apply to you.

You can sponsor your husband even if you do not work, however you should include info on how you will support yourselves. Things like evidence of savings, potential employers, job interviews lined up, etc. These can be for you the sponsor or for the applicant. Basically prove to CIC that you will not need social assistance.

There are 2 applications but together they make up the whole application to sponsor someone. The first application is for the sponsor, in this case you. Once that is approved CIC will forward the whole application to a visa office abroad, most likely London as your husband is British. London will then process the second application, the applicant forms.

You need to fill both sets of forms out and send them in together.

It does not matter where you send it from, but you have to make sure you have all of the valid documents.

The starting point for you is here.

Good luck!

For csq they don't ask for this information either.
