US. Citizen being Sponsored by Common-law Canadian/Inland vs. Outland/Other

[Baloo]

I'm sorry! What a stupid mistake.

I fixed it to where the IMM etc.. is to the left of each title page. If that makes sense.

HUH?

HUH?

My thoughts exactly!

"Application for Permanent Residence in Canada"(IMM 0008 F * Generic)

"Details of Family Members Page"(IMM 0008 F * Generic Page 2)

"Sponsored Spouse/Answer Questioner"(IMM 5490 F)

Not trying to be confusing. Before, the above didn't have IMM numbers next to them. After someone suggested I add them, I added them and now they have the IMM numbers next to them, as seen above. That way in regards to my application/questions people can know what forms I am talking about.

Does that make sense? I am sorry for the confusion.

Much better, editing a previous post doesn't always show up on my radar - my bad

"Details of Family Members Page"(IMM 0008 F * Generic Page 2).
I don't understand what it means in the top when it says "You must include your spouse or common-law partner, if applicable..."

You will see that phrasing a lot, and here's why: your spouse/common-law partner, and any dependant children you might have, MUST be included in your application (as opposed to for instance brothers, uncles, parents, etc., whom you can add to it if you wish to sponsor them in the future, but otherwise don't have to) - but ONLY IF they are not already citizens or permanent residents of Canada, hence the "if applicable" part. So no, you don't include your fiancee.

(You will, however, include her and your siblings in the IMM5406 - Additional family information form... but cross that bridge when you get to it and stuff )

Would any one care to elaborate?

Baloo's response was good, but for me just a bit vague for my ignorant mind. Anyone else care to elaborate on his or hers wisdom? I could really use the help.

This is where you can find all the forms.
Read all the guides REALLY WELL. By the way you are filling out the wrong application for permanent residence if you are applying outland.
Here are the outland forms: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp
Also, don't forget that if you are using a courier mailing service then you won't mail the application to that P.O. Box but to another address but that is if you use a courier since courier can't mail to a P.O. Box. The fingerprint request letter is for if you go to a police department or other place to show why you need fingerprints. And the request for police clearance you mail that with the FBI clearance request and state background clearance request.

P.S. This may take you a while to read but it is invaluable so please try to read it. It explains more how things are done outland.

Then after you read all of the forms, guides, and manual really well together then we will be glad to answer more questions. Good luck!

You are allowed to stay in Canada as a visitor for up to 6 months at the time, and you can extend that status from within Canada as needed. You will need a form called "Application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada" - a month before your status expires you will fill it out and send it, together with a $150 fee and proof of your PR application being submitted, to CPC Vegreville.

Actually if you are just applying for an extension of only visitor status then is $75 and not $150.
You are only charged $150 for a work permit.

There is a form you will take with you and give to your DMP when you go get the exam; they will fill this out for you as evidence that the exam was taken and you will include it with your application. The results of exam itself will be sent (by the DMP) to a regional medical centre and when your visa office reaches that processing stage they will request it from there.
They get sent to you and you send them with the application.

This is out of the DMP handbook on the process:

"Appendix C — Fillable form


When you and your family members go for your medical examination, make sure you have this sheet completed for each person, along with the following items:

passports for yourself and your family members, plus a photocopy of the bio-data page of each passport. If a passport is not available, provide an official identity document bearing the photo and date of birth of the family member;
eye glasses or contact lenses, if you or your family members wear them;
previous medical report(s), if any.

You must tell the examining doctor about all past and present medical problems and conditions, and provide the doctor with any available documentation such as physician’s reports, treatment or prescriptions; and
five recent pictures taken within six months preceding the date of the examination and, where applicable, a negative for yourself and your family members (see section on photos in the instructions on how to complete the Application for permanent residence).
Make an appointment with one of the doctors identified on the enclosed list.

A Medical Report, Section A (form IMM 1017 EFC) will be completed at the doctor’s office for yourself and each of your family members undergoing the medical exam. A photo of the person to be examined by the doctor will be affixed on both copies of that person’s form. This form is used to match your medical file to your immigrant file.

The doctor will sign the form and mail the first copy to the Canadian Regional Medical Office (RMO) with the results of the examination. You will be given the second copy as proof you underwent the medical examination. You must include this copy with your immigrant application when you send it to your sponsor. Photocopies will not be accepted. If you lose it, you will not be able to obtain a duplicate;you will have to redo the medical examination and pay any associated fees again.

We will review the medical results to determine whether there are any medical reasons which would prevent you or your family members from coming to Canada.You and each of your family members will also have to complete your own copy of the Medical Report, Section B (form IMM 5419). You will have to write your answers to the questions on this form in the presence of the examining doctor, who will then proceed to complete Section C, D and E.

The medical examination includes:
complete physical examination for all family members;
chest X-ray and a radiologist’s report for everyone aged 11 years and over;
blood test for everyone aged 15 years or over;
urinalysis for everyone aged 5 years or over;
HIV testing for everyone aged 15 years or over, as well as for children who have received blood or blood products, or have a known HIV mother.

If your medical results prove satisfactory, they have a validity of one year from the date of examination. Therefore, you should make arrangements to have the date of your medical examination precede as closely as possible the date you will be sending your application and supporting documentation to your sponsor.

If the processing of your application for permanent residence is delayed and we cannot reach a decision about your application before the validity of your medical examination expires, you will be required to do the medical examination again."

Oh, quite right; thanks for correcting that
