1. a. Does anyone know why they might have requested this form?
I would like at this as a positive, meaning they are NOW looking at your application and just looking to dot the i's and cross the t's. Seems to happen to a lot of folks RIGHT BEFORE they get their permanent residency
b. The form refers to applicant and spouse. Am I right in assuming my wife is the applicant and I am the spouse? The email was addressed to her (though sent to my email address).
Your wife is the Principal Applicant, and you are the spouse (if they are the forms that YOU are supposed to do) I'm assuming you wrote down your email address for the main point of contact for you and your wife, so you'd get her messages, too - to your account.
c. There is a field called "Address where your passport(s) can be returned by courier collect:". We are moving to Canada next week. Should I put our address in Canada here?
Yup, doesn't matter where you are in the world - or what type of PR you've applied for (outland / inland). However, as a Canadian married to a Korean, you are passport exempt, meaning you shouldn't have to send in your passport to Manila. Unless, they've specifically asked for it?
I'm not that far along in the process, so it's probably better to get a more solid answer from one of those who are. But I'm guessing you might be reading the generic email or message, not the Korea-specific message.
d. They asked that we fill out appendix A, but they've sent us both appendix A and appendix B (photos). Because they haven't asked for appendix B, I don't need to resend photos, right?
Yeah, that pdf file has BOTH appendix A and B. (3907e?) For Appendix A, there is a ton of overlap with the Main Checklist, and tons of stuff for Sri Lanka and Pakistan applicants - Make sure to double check which ones you've already sent and you also have to print out and tick the boxes for of the Appendix A checklist, itself.
What stuff are you missing from Appendix A? the translation stuff? the appendix checklist itself? or other stuff?
2. No questions about the RPRF
3. They are asking for documentary evidence that I will re-establish in Canada, but I've already been approved as a sponsor. Does this mean that the documentation I provided last summer was not enough? I do not have job offers or acceptance letters to a school. We will be moving back and then I will begin my job hunt / house hunt. In the interim we will be living with family. Previously I've included a couple letters that stated this. What other documentation could I provide?
I provided:
1.) A letter of support from my parents, stating they'd give us accomodation and any financial support until we got ourselves established
2.) I also won't have any job offers either, but I sent in various jobs I'm looking at getting (degree pertinent stuff that I printed from the net)
3.) I also included a "Plan of Action" summary, that shows "how" and "what" we will do to get back into the swing of things back home. Basically stating we'd hit the ground running, use our parents for support. Seek jobs from Korea, if nothing pans out, continue to find employment back home, all the while using our parents as support, that we had a little saved etc
4.) I also included a list of old job contacts, and websites that I currently use to actively seek employment (hard to find a job from Daegu, where I am, but nonetheless, it shows I'm trying
5.) We have pets, so i included all airline cargo correspondence that we are / have been pre-planning our exit strategy from Korea.
Hope this helps a little, Marticus
