I am not sure what you are referring to regarding the refugee claim. There are two IMM0008 for family sponsorship. It doesn’t hurt to fill the two out.

Yes, that is correct. It goes to DM when visa has been issued. Some, after landing.

The email they sent you should specifically state the form to fill. As for the PIF. Personal Information Form. It's for the sponsor's refugee claim. Make sure all the information in that form is consistent with the sponsorship application.

IMM 0008 was one of the forms you guys submitted before. They need it to be filled out again. I hope you have a copy of the initial form hat was submitted to them. Take that out and use it to fill the new one making sure everything is accurate.
If you are the sponsor, then your PIF is what is being requested. You should also have a copy of this in your refugee claim file.

Yes, you can send a copy of yours to them in addition to any other requested document. i really hope you find it because IRB might linger in processing your request. Start searching

You are very welcome. I am glad you found it. Yes, you ccan scan it to your husband. But since this is not the only information they requested I will suggest you put them all together before forwarding to AVO. Meanwhike, it is very important that you guys go through the PIF again just to make sure what is there is consistent with the sponsorship application. If AVO is asking for it, then you scan through it yourself first
