Forms for Canadian sponsoring American

[jeff198901]

Anyone have any tips for me? I am going to be starting the forms here very shortly!

How long do these typically take to fill out?

On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is the package to complete?

Do I wait to send in the whole entire schedule A background/declaration (IMM 5669) form? Or do I just wait to send in my police certificate?

Read EVERYTHING. you could start with the checklist too see the requirements.
If you live or don't live together. Proof can be different ( read the checklist )

On a scale of 1-10 how difficult is the package to complete?
Depend of your situation. Depend if you are maried or not, if you lived many adress, many jobs, many travels.

Do I wait to send in the whole entire schedule A background/declaration (IMM 5669) form? Or do I just wait to send in my police certificate?

I think the awnser is in the checklist IMM5533

The checklist states you should send them upon request, but it's not really worded like a requirement, I am sure you can still send these upfront. I think they may have changed this to lessen the amount of people they need to re-request this from when the app takes a long time, or because people would not include it upfront because many applicants didn't realise how long it took to get their PC. Just a guess.

For an American that shouldn't be an issue.
