HI,
I had query regarding one of the form -
Updated Generic Application Form for Canada IMM 0008 for yourself and your spouse or CLP
Do myself and spouse both have to fill this form separately or the principal applicant has to only fill it and add spouse as dependent in that
If the spouse has to also fill separately then when the spouse is filling that does she also has to add me as Dependent in that form?

Mine is Express entry application and paid fee at "https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/immigrationlist.do".
I select Express Entry from the list.

I am not sure whether paper based applicant pay their fee at the same or not.

What did you do? Did you two separate IMM 0008? OR just 1 for principle applicant? Have you got any reply?

Hi Everyone,

Need help urgently.

My husband applied for Express Entry under Economic-Skilled worker program in December 2017 and got invitation to apply. All the formalities were completed on his end regarding his documents and proof of funds.

We recently got married in Jan and now he has informed them about the change in marital status. They have requested a checklist including IMM0008 and others.

I have two doubts while filling IMM 0008 :-

For the very first question regarding Program & Category under which you are applying:- I should mention the same details as my husband (Economic) because I believe Family program is for the people if m husbandd already has PR which is not the case.

Second doubt is he has filled IMM0008 with his details and adding my details in spouse section since he is the primary applicant. While I am filling the form, should I also add his details in spouse section or not as he is not my dependant.

Please help. Need to submit urgently.

I hope you already found answers elsewhere -

Is this the generic application form? I believe only the Principal Applicant (your husband) fills this out - he would need to do a new one to add you to it. Check your instructions / checklist again -
