Where you're residing at the time of application.

If you're a PR, i would recommend you return to Canada before submitting your application for spousal sponsorship, because you need to be in the country to sponsor a spouse.

If you're a citizen it doesn't matter, you can submit it while in India.

You either add her to your PR application now or you wait until you're a PR and apply for spousal sponsorship.

Yeah! i am adding her to my application now. Therefore, I am filling out a imm0008 form in which it has "Current country of residence". Can I enter "Canada" since I am legally working remotely from India and i will also return back in a couple months. ?

I got you now.

That shouldn't be a problem, you can put Canada but they will expect you to have a Canadian residential address on the form.

Hi @goudam

Thanks for your reply. One more thing. I was asked to submit these to add my spouse as a dependent accompanying applicant.

Do I need to fill these forms as well as the principal applicant or only my spouse will fill these forms as the principal applicant?

Thanks in advance

Marriage certificate, PCC for spouse, Spouse's passport, LOE, if you include your spouse then Payment receipt.
Do Medicals only after request, do not do UPFRONT MEDICALS otherwise, you will end up doing twice.

NP. Once they receive your files and they start processing, they will send another request with spousal questionnaire and wedding evidence photos, etc.. which you don't have to do it now. After processing they will add your dependent in your account, and then biometrics/medicals.

Hi @goudam one last thing

In IMM5669 form which is to be filled up by spouse as suggested by you. In the applicant section at the very beginning will my spouse be principal applicant or spouse? I guess it will be spouse. Am I right?
