[riverphoenix]

You got pre arrival letter for both or 14 year old only

Just the 14 year old. The eldest is still in the Philippines and recently completed his medical and biometric so most likely behind.

Hi All,

I am in Process of Sponsoring PR for my new born, and kid is outside canada born and myself and wife is already PR a year ago.

So while filing a Sponsoring application I need to fill IMM5604 for declaration from Non-Accompanying parent/guardian for minors immigrating to Canada.

My spouse is outside canada at the moment with my new born and she can’t be co-signer on IMM1344e

Could someone help me to clarify as who needs to fill this form is it my wife or I need to fill this?

Hello

The spouse/s who are not inside Canada need to fill IMM5604.

SInce you both are PRs and your wife is outside Canada, she CAN legally and technically become a co-signor but i would suggest to skip that and instead you being in Canada(assuming that you are inside Canada) should be sponsoring. No need of her becoming a co-signor. There are caselaws decided at IRB for what i said above regarding your wife being a co-signor. I practice law here in Canada and awaiting my Child PR sponsorship as well. Though nothing mentioned here is a legal advice.

Hope, it helps.

Thanks
