hello everyone!
i'm trying to fill out the form IMM5490E, and here are my concerns:
btw, we were in a relationship for 9 years when we got married a month ago.
(1) Prior to your spousal partner relationship, was your sponsor or any of your sponsor's family members related to you or any member of your family? - it may seem an easy question but i don't really get it the word 'related'
since we've been together for so long, both our parents / family have been friends before we got married. so does that count? family friend? my brother and my husband are bandmates / close friends even before we met. does this count too? or are they pertaining to a different 'related' thing? ugh i'm sorry but i do hope i'm making some sense here 
(2) MAINTAINING CONTACT
Has your sponsor visited you during the period of your relationship? Have you visited your sponsor during the period of your relationship? - do these questions refer to the part when we got married? because that will mean yung visit from canada - philippines and vice versa. or the part before the marriage? i'm thinking it's after we got married but i just want to make sure.
oh and this one from another form,
national identity document - i've googled it na and they're saying our country (Philippines) doesn't have it but a passport will do. but there's a separate question for a passport and that's the only ID i've got, aside from a police clearance / NBI clearance. should i write down the police clearance or just check NO for this one??
thanks in advance sa mga sasagot po.
God Bless!
