Spouse's Address and Income question...

[Mushroom]

Hi all,

I have a couple questions that need some answers and if you can help me out, that'd be great.

1. What should I put for my Wife's address? She is currently away to South Korea for about 2-3months or so to prepare for our wedding and since we're applying outland...and the outland application states that after I am approved to be a sponsor, she will be the one they contact for additional information. Do I write her korean address or since she'll be back here in a couple months, should I put down the address that I'm living at?

2. I started my full time job about 2 months ago and I realize that sponsoring my spouse does not have a financial requirement (correct me if I'm wrong) but since it still requires information regarding my income, we were wondering how to best go about this process. Since my last year's tax information does not contain a favourable information with regards to income...should I still call and request for it and send it? Or...should I be showing them my pay stubs? But I think they require 12 months worth for that... The best course of action that I see is providing them with the job offer letter that contains my salary information as well as my start date.

If anyone can provide insights into the questions above, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance,
Mushroom

You can use your address as her mailing address, because I think it would be better for everything to go to your place in Canada, since she will be coming back here soon. You can use her Korean address as her permanent address, especially since it is an outland application. You could attach a note explaining she is staying with you in Canada while you wait for the PR but will be in South Korea for a few months.

Send in the Option C from last year's incoome tax, since it is required. Also send in your pay stubs and the proof of your new job.
