I'm trying to sponsor my wife (japanese) and have been getting little (if any at all) help from the consulate here in tokyo. ( I see that im not the only one. ) Seems like everyone everywhere is getting the same. But if anyone out the can help me with a few questions i have, it would be very much appreciated.
1. Do i have to find out if im eligible to sponsor before going ahead with her forms?
2. The forms ask if im a canadian citizen or a permanent resident (was born there) then asks me on what date it happened. Is this my birthday or ....???
3. What is a co-signer and do i need/should i have one?
4. If only one person is being sponsored. (just the wife) do i have to include the attached page for other family members in the app. and if so, do i leave it blank or write N/A???
5. Do they require actual photos or are colour copies ok?
6. Do i need to do the financial evaluation?? (i read an if applicable somewhere) if so, how do i know?
SOrry if they seem like stupid questions, but i do ask them in earnest.
Hope you can help.
Regards. J.
