Hi cowtown_gal! Nice to meet you! Where are you two living? We are in Gloucestershire!
cowtown = calgary?
We are planning on going to DHL to send it off, am afraid at how much its going to cost, it is quite a lot of paper/evidence!
Actually, maybe you can help me with a question I have! On form IMM1344A, section E the 'Eligibility assessment', what did you fill out for question 3. Are you sponsoring a member of the family class or a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class?
I filled out no, but am second guessing myself. As we are both abroad, I am assuming that 'no' is what we put? I keep second guessing myself on so much of these forms now that we are sending it off! SOoooooo annoying!
Hi! Nice to meet you too! We are in Manchester and yes, I am from Calgary!!
I don't know if this will help, actually, because for that question on the form, I put 'yes'. I think spouse applications all come under family class anyway - even if you are both living abroad. I did put 'no' for the next question about living only in Canada and have tried to show evidence that I am living in the UK legally right now (including photocopy of British passport). I know the forms are supposed to be straight-forward but I find the wording of the questions can make them very tricky, and I tend to second-guess myself as well.
I'm pretty sure that if you put 'no' to question 3 they will say you're not eligible to sponsor. The writing at the start of the questions also says that if you answer 'no' to questions 1-4 you cannot sponsor (except question 4, of course! - sooooo complicated!)
Has this helped at all or just made matters worse for you?? Hope it was of some help at least! We had a few questions about the forms and managed to get my mom and dad to speak to an immigration lawyer in Canada about the answers for us, so fire away if you have any more questions, and if they were the same as ours, I might have an answer?
Talk to you soon! Good luck sending it all away!!
