Visiting canada with family - wife and 2 kids

[eagles]

Hi Experts,

I am planning to go for a short vacation in Canada with my wife and 2 kids. I am currently on H1b in US and working in Vermont.

The only question I have is - Do i need to fill out form IMM5409(Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union)? Does it need to be notarized? Does commissioner of oath means public notary?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Are you and wife in a Common Law Union (not married but living together)? If you are then you fill it up.

Thanks for the reply.

No we are legally married and my name is printed in her passport too.

if you are legally married, you don't need to fill in that form. yes, commissioner of oath means public notary, what are you planning to notarize?

Thanks for your reply.

I wanted to notarize IMM5409, since I don't need it now based on your replies I am not going to.

Thanks again.

you never need to notarize any of the forms. the only papers that can require notarization for a visitor's visa are the copies of the documents and and letter of invitation.

Which documents in particular? I don't see consulate site mentioning anywhere to notarize any documents. (canadainternational.gc.ca/new_york/imm/visa_temp.aspx?lang=eng)

Appreciate your response.

Thanks

If somebody invited you for a visit, that is what you have to notarize especially if it was in the form of an undertaking of responsibility. But if you are just coming to Canada for a visit/tourism purposes then you don't have to notarize anything.

Great...thanks.

I am just going to visit Canada for tourism purposes and be back in couple of days.

Thanks,

Hi,

Do I need to submit original I-797 or the copy? Just want to make sure before I send the application.

Thanks.

Last question.

IMM5257 - Q11 - name, address, relationship of any person or institution I will visit are.

I will be just living in a hotel for couple of days, and will not be visiting any person.

Should I write hotel address instead?

Thanks,
Nayab

Q11 - " ... you will visit ..." Is there any particular person/institution you want to visit? If there is no one or there is none, put none.
