And for him applying as a single person also doesn't make sense. (that's actually the wrong term. Once he's married, he can only be separated or divorced. He cannot be single again.)

Not saying that any of this makes sense, but it's possible the 'applying as a single person' means applying under whatever program as unaccompanied by spouse + dependents. That is reasonably common - the spouse + dependents would be examined medically (and I assume background). If done this way, the applicant can apply to sponsor them once in Canada as a PR.

I think the agent maybe selling a work permit and the "single person" is for the work permit.
The PR application is like years down the road.

Well, I've no idea what's going on, but the 'single person' bit could be normal if all they mean is travelling/settling as single (eg unaccompanied but other family members declared).
 
either of this makes sense.
Never heard of that form unless it's showing that he's legally separated or you are signing something to allow him to take your daughter with him without you being part of it. Read any document carefully, this doesn't sound right.

Unless he is applying for a visitor visa, the job offer in SA also doesn't make sense. This agent has something weird going on. Hopefully, she is not a scammer. So many things she told you don't sound right.
e.g. Then said that after he has been in Canada for 2 years and received his PR, my daughter and I have to fly to Canada, activate our PR and then we can return to SA. There is no such process.... There are so many steps inbetween that's missed. And he is only getting a work permit (I assume) now so what is the PR stream that he planned to apply for? He will not just "recived his PR" after 2 years.


Apologies, I meant he will be going over alone, we are not applying as a family at the moment for anything. Here is what the form says:

This is not a required document. I've personally never heard of someone including a letter like this in their application.
