Hi! I would just like to confirm I have an idea of how many documents and checklists I will be submitting, being Polish, liviing in Canada (but applying outland) with my common-law husband (Canadian).
here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp it gives two parts, sponsor and me:

and do all these documents (the ones which are applicable, I suppose? so use of representative or children lists, if i don't have children and he doesn't either, do not need to be submitted), so do all these have to be followed by http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5491E.pdf (IMM5491E) for my husband and the country specific http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3902e.pdf for me, or do these two (5491E and 3902e) are checklists of all the documents we need and that list from the CIC page does not apply/covers the same material? (i can;t seem to make out if the documents listed under this CIC link are documents listed in the 5491 ans 3902 checklists?)
And just to confirm one last time - I live and will continue living in Canada with my partner (WP and visa probably later) but this form http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5490E.pdf seems to focus on living away from each other,so there are questions about traveling to see each other, but... we don't travel much to see each other these days, becayse we live together! should I anticipate problems with that? or do I just attach letters explaing?
thanks very much for any help with this!
