You need to read the instruction guides, those are very general questions. You need as much proof as possible, to begin with.

They sent me a email stating they've received the application and how I can check and blah blah blah.. I went to check this morning and it said the status started.
Anxiousness will have me checking that thing everyday LOL

QUESTION: if I chose to have all correspondence online, will I get an email every time stating that I have a new update or do I have to go in and check randomly to see if anything is new?
Anyone that has experience with the online feature please help.

Do yourself a favor...Do NOT check your account daily, or even weekly!

You will only see things that have changed in Ecas, when you log into your account. The only time you'll hear from CIC is if they need something from you, or when you have been approved as his sponsor. This is still taking well over a year (last check was ~ 17 months). It's quite possible that you won't hear anything until late next year, unless they start to pick up the case. I suggest you just keep your eyes on the appropriate Inland spreadsheet to see what happening. Him being out of status for 7 years (now) shouldn't cause any real delays, but then again...it very well could.

Hey good for you guys for finally getting that application in. Since I assume you applied inland I agree with Ponga, checking every day is pointless since inland takes a good long while. But be relieved that you got the worst part over with, actually sending it in!

Just be as truthful as possible, and do some online research to try and find the names of the companies. It's kind of odd you don't remember, because I remember the first company I worked for like 20 years ago. However it's normal to not remember the exact dates. I guess you didn't save copies of your old forms?

The file # is for the visa officer. You can put in a UCI number where it asks for it, if your spouse has one.

They're likely checking to make sure your previous undertaking is no in default (like if whoever you sponsored took welfare).

Leave her out, put "N/A" for the kids, and yes sign the documents. Make sure you do or they will send back your application.
