SENT!!!! Such a huge weight off my shoulders. ALL my free time for the past 3-4 weeks has been spent on my application. Mailed: January 25, 2012. VO: Buffalo I guess I should wait to see when it's received but I was too excited to finally join one of these threads :D

Follow-up...I just did some digging in the instructions guide (3900). It includes the following section: Of particular interest to this thread is the last line. I'm going to include the Sponsor Questionnaire (IMM 5540) anyway, just to be safe, since the OP was asked for one. The worst they...

I photocopied mine just to have a record of it, and marked all over the copy is "UNAUTHORIZED COPY" so that probably won't be useful for much.

The checklist does not say anything about QC residents not needing to do this form. The exact wording from the guide (3900) is: With a closer look, it seems like the "residents of Quebec do not need to complete this form" refers to the Financial Evaluation (IMM 1283) form and its...

I checked No and handwrote N/A in the "indicate the number" and "when did you apply for it" fields.

Good question--my wife is sponsoring me from QC as well, and I wasn't planning on including that form with the application. Maybe I should... I have heard of people including the form but writing N/A in all the spaces. Can anyone comment?

The terms "outland" confuses many (including myself at first). From what I understand, this term does not have anything to do with the physical location of the applicant. It only refers to the visa office that your application will be processed at (outland applicants send their application to...

Per the instructions I was under the impression that "Current Mailing Address" was the mailing address you want all correspondence sent to (not necessarily where you are physically located), and "Residential Address" is where you are currently physically residing. In my case I have put my...

Thanks for the replies. On the length of my "describe the development of your your relationship with your sponsor," though it is 11 pages, it is in bullet point form laying out major (ie not every single date we've ever gone on) things we've done together, trips, meetings with each other's...

Hi all As I've been putting the final touches on my application, I've been scanning through the forums for any helpful bits of information. One thing I've come across a few times is mention of a "letter" that applicants write about their relationship with their sponsor. In some cases, the...

I sent mine in on Sept 8 2011, received the cert on Nov 17 2011. My credit card was billed for the service on October 1 2011, if that matters/helps.

To scarycemetery and anyone else: Does this include on form IMM 0008 after the barcode had been generated as well?

Great, thank you all for your advice. All my forms are filled out on the computer and printed, however I did fill in a few fields by hand on forms other than IMM 0008 where there was not enough space to type my answer in the PDF (type of degree, name of school for example), and I also wrote...

Thank you for your reply! Was your application successful?

That's what my wife keeps telling me :D But I want there to be no doubt to the IO. The photos are not just of us, but us together with my wife's children and both our families.

Yes, I had planned to write on the back of them and to also include a 'master list' with all the information from the back of each photo in spreadsheet form. I don't mind not having them returned, since they're all digital photos there never actually were 'originals.'

Could you send the actual photos though? I had over 150 digital photos printed at Black's just so I could have 'actual' photos to send with this application.

Not 100% sure so don't take this as fact, and anyone please feel free to correct me, but I believe Schedule 1 is now Schedule A - Background/Declaration (IMM 5669). http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5669E.pdf

Thanks to you both. Can anyone else weigh in on this? Looking for as many opinions as possible :D In your experience is it acceptable to fill out IMM 0008 by hand or is the barcode necessary? If the barcode is required, what would I want to put in the "TO" field (ie my most recent 'exit' from...

Was it the new IMM 0008 which allows barcode generation or an older form (I'm not sure when the newer form was released)?
