    Changing passport to include spouse name post marriage - is this mandatory?

    I've been married for almost 6 years, never bothered to get my name changed. All my legal documents still have my name with my maiden last name. Too much hassle to change everything. I don't think it should impact our sponsor application though.

    contact address

    Thanks all for replying. We'll definitely go OUTLAND!!! But I think I read in some other thread that all mails can be sent to one address, the sponsor's address? He has no one to check his mails. The houses in UK have a mail slot on the door, which means you'd have to give the person the...

    IMM5406 Additional Family

    If I am only sponsoring husband, and no one else, does he still need to fill out that form for additional family? He has no other children, (only two with me, and our children are Canadian in Canada). His mom and brothers are still alive, in his native country. Thanks in advance

    Different papers for application - good question!

    Maybe CIC had cases that certain applications were printed and reprinted from different printers? Not everyone owns a printer and they might have had friends or hired agents handling the papers.

    contact address

    I believe I read this somewhere, but can't quite find it (too many new threads daily) We're going to apply outland from UK. But hub will probably visit us again later in the year. Can we use my address for both contact addresses? I hate to miss mails when he's physically here in Canada...

    Proof of Financial Income or Savings?

    good luck!!! Taking care of a young baby and not having your husband around must be really hard. Hope your application will be processed ASAP!! I am stuck home with two girls and my husband over at UK. Luckily I have my parents next door and I don't have to worry about financial issues yet.

    Proof of Financial Income or Savings?

    Option C from CRA might help to prove that you're not on welfare. I read on this forums: Have a relative write you a letter confirming that they are willing to support you financially until you can get on your own feet. Proofs that husband is sending you money - you will not be on welfare...

    Marriage Certificate

    I'm guessing you'd need it translated and notorized if any certificate is not in English?

    letters to be included in package

    question is, what format you used? Is there a more prefered layout? Writing the letter from myself (sponsor), or from my husband (the applicant?), or both, as a couple?

    letters to be included in package

    I read so many times and have been advised to have explanatory letters in our package. Question is... should these letters be written by sponsor? Applicant? Or can we have them written together as a couple? My husband is applicant and his only visits few times a year from the UK (always free...

    Sponsor spouse- Court marriage/ against traditions plz Help

    Isn't a legal marriage certificate enough? We did not have an actual wedding in a wedding gown and tuxedo. We just had a small ceremony at home with my parents (his parents are not in the country). Then a simple 'banquet' with close family friends at a restaurant. Luckily we did take a group...

    What comes first in the application?

    would they reject your application or make the process harder IF you have the check list & barcode pages in WRONG order??? I am guessing probably not.
