Hi all,
My common law partner (Canadian citizen) and I (US citizen) are almost ready to submit our application! We appreciate all the help you guys have given us and have a few more questions we hope to get some clarification on.
1. Do we put the barcodes on top of the entire package? Or do we keep the barcodes on top of each individual form and leave them where they are within the package?
2. I'm confused about 4. Class of application on the checklist. We are applying outland and want to choose the right one and I know outland is best for US applicants, but the wording is a little confusing to me. With the recent package updates, is it still okay for us to do outland even though I'm in Canada? I know that's a commonly answered question here, but want to make sure it's right with the updates. Here are the 3 options to choose from:
-I am currently living in Canada, and I am applying under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class.
-I am currently living outside Canada, and I am applying under the Family Class.
-I am currently living in Canada, and I am applying under the Family Class (not under the Spouse or Common-Law partner in Canada class). I understand that I may be convoked to attend an interview at a visa office outside Canada.
3. If we organize our documents and forms in sponsor and applicant envelopes, then where does the shared form (IMM 5532) go? Do we just leave it loose within the mailing box?
4. We already got the FBI check done and the medical done for me before the package updated. It says that we can send in the medical if we've done one in the past 12 months, so we're still sending that in. But the checklist says to send in the FBI check (along with IMM 5669 background declaration) when they request it, not upfront. If we already have it, though, is it okay to include it now like with the medical?
Sorry for multiple questions in one post! I am very thankful for this forum and we would greatly appreciate any help.
