Hi -
I'm in the final stages of submitting a Family Class Spousal Sponsorship (Permanent Residence) application for my wife, with the assistance of an immigration consultant. Prior to hiring the consultant, my wife independently submitted a visitor visa application, which was rejected. Now, as part of the PR application package, we are completing IMM 5476 (Use of a Representative).
Under Section A (Applicant Information), Question 4, it asks for the “Type of application (e.g., PR, study, visitor, etc.)” and “Application number (if known)”. Our consultant is asking us to list "Visitor Visa" and include the visitor visa application number from the previous (rejected) application.
However, based on my reading of the form and the context, I believe we should list "Permanent Residence" as the application type and leave the application number blank (since it hasn't been issued yet), as the consultant is representing us for the PR application, not for the previously rejected visitor visa.
Can anyone clarify the correct approach here? Should the form reflect the application currently being submitted (i.e., PR), or any past applications that they are not involved in?
Thank You!
