Greetings,

In March 2018, I went up to visit my then Fiancee and get married. After we were married, she started the Inland paperwork for Spousal Sponsorship and PR. I myself had to go home after 3 months to assist my father after a major surgery. I was told later by Canadian immigration during a phone call that I was apparently supposed to also fill out paperwork and that my Wife's paperwork would be returned as incomplete if mine was not sent in alongside hers. They directed me to the main page of immigration, and I looked and looked but for the life of me could not find what paperwork they were talking about. I would like to be able to find and fill out said paperwork to send back up to her along with the fees so that she could amend it onto her sent in paperwork. Where would I find this? Can anyone point me to the page?

I will of course be going back and I know that we may have to reapply because we missed MY Paperwork. Im just looking for said paperwork to fill it out.

Forms are here:

Also be aware that if you are applying inland, and you leave Canada for any extended period of time, you run a very high risk of the application being deemed abandoned and you would have to start over from the beginning and reapply (and pay all fees again). Inland applications are for sponsors and PAs that both reside within Canada, and will remain there for the duration of the application process.

From what I have read, so long as I go back and am allowed back in, there is little risk. SHE has to stay in Canada the whole time. But I also know she can get back the Fees if they have not started processing the application.

This seems like it's just the Forms SHE had to fill out. Which ones do I need to look at in here?

There are two lists if you went through the questionnaire fully and generated the document list.

1) Forms for the sponsor to fill out
2) For the person being sponsored (principal applicant):

Technically ongoing cohabitation is a requirement for the inland process. If you want to or need to be outside of Canada for significant periods during processing, recommend you apply outland.

A basic requirement of applying inland is that you be cohabiting TOGETHER in Canada throughout the entire process. It is clearly stated in he application that you should apply outland if you will need to leave during the process.

It doesn't seem like you have really looked at this process very much. I seriously suggest you sit down and do some research.

Well I didn't know I'd need to leave at the time of filling out the application. Then it just sorta happened.
