URGENT: Declaration per Future R117(9)(d)

[papgust]

Dear all,

I have been asked to fill a declaration form R117(9)(d) to declare myself that i will not be able to sponsor my ex-spouse in future.

While i have no doubts regarding the declaration, there is something called "Witness" to sign in the form too besides the applicant's signature.

Who must be this witness? There is no information about it in the form or anywhere in the internet.

Please respond urgently if you have faced such a situation or know facts about it.

Thanks.

If there are no instructions as to who the witness should be, I'd say you can choose any adult who does not have an interest in the outcome and who is not a criminal and who is mentally stable and not mentally disabled.

Wich is the form number ? You mentioned the regulations, not the form.

susana,

The one mentioned in the subject is the form number as far as I know

 

[susana]

No, this is the regulation under IRPA

The intent of R117(9)(d), R117(10) and R117(11) is to ensure that persons whom the sponsor made a conscious decision to exclude (either by not declaring and/or not having the persons examined) from their own application for permanent residence cannot later benefit by being sponsored by this same person as a member of the family class.

Right Susana. The immigration will send out a declaration form to the principal applicant to have proof in written form. There is no form no specifically as such. Other than the one mentioned in the subject. That's how the form is named too.
