hello everyone. so this is my final clarification on my papers before i submit it to my husband in canada.


I'm still confuse on what date to put in the "to date" box....

a). schedule a background/declaration form

> question 8 on my personal history. I'm still working with my current employer from 2011 to present. so what should i put in the "to date box"?
can i just put the expiation of my visa which is on 2015?
> question 12 addresses: is it okay to consume 2 boxes for my address? because my complete address in philippines is not enough for one box
only.

b.) country specific form (this question applies to those who's visa office is in ABUDHABI) but if you have any idea help too :))

> in supplementary form/travel history: i went back here in dubai 19/01/2013 till present so what should i put in the "to box"? i'm thinking to put
till date or till present. is this okay?
> in residency questionnaire:question 2- my husband has been physically present in canada from sept. 2010 till present so should we put any
dates in the "to date" or just put also till present? (example: 09/2010 to present/till date)
> in residency questionnaire: question 8- will me as the principal applicant cancel my gulf residence visa? if yes will be my answer i will put the
date of expiration of my visa. if no is my answer i will just put the reason is because i will wait for my approval or pr then i will cancel my
visa. is this correct? im not so sure what to answer.....

c.) in the document checklist being as the sponsored person can i put "x" on the box if it's not necessary for me to include the documents? or just leave it blank? and should the document checklist be at the front page/top page then followed by my forms and additional documents? or the barcode first in the generic application?

d.) i'll just need to provide 8 photos in total and put my name, date of birth and when the picture was taken right?

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS/REMINDERS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. Thank you very much!!! hope somebody can clarify this to me..........

Whenever it asks for a "From" and To" date, if the "To" date is "the present" enter in the date that you filled in the form. Don't try and override the automatic field formatting. This is what we did and CIC seemed to have been quite happy with that.

Normally, if you cannot add information onto a form due to size limits, they ask you to add a sepate sheet with the form reference and question numbers on it giving the extra information. However, in the case of an address, it might be worth seeing if you can reduce it down to the minimum "official" address needed for mail purposes. Using two boxes may cause confusion as they might see it as two separate addresses.

I can't comment on the country specific stuff as I have no experience of that particular country.

In the checklist, just leave it blank where you are not submitting a particular item. Make sure that if it asks for a reason why not, that you have included one on a separate sheet of paper. I think it asks for the barcodes to be on the top of each barcoded form. Apart from that, normally the checklists would go on the top, so that they can quickly see what they are expecting when the application is reorganised for processing.

The photo requirements may be country specific but I believe that is what we did.
 
thank you zardoz that was a relief! :) maybe i'll just do what you suggested......
