Medical and Police clearance

[Vizzynuts]

Hi all,

I tried to look for information in the Spousal sponsorship thread. Unfortunately, its become very big and I was having a difficult time reviewing the Information.

Some background:
- I am a PR and want to sponsor my wife.
- We've been married for about a year and now I need to sponsor her to come to Canada.
- We're doing an outland application.

I have a couple of questions:
1) Police certificate - It says that she needs to get a police certificate done. I thought that it was something that the application centre would have requested. Is it better for her to do the police clearance certificate and then I send the application for Sponsorship approval?
2) Medical certificate - It also says that this should be attached to the application. When I did my PR, the application centre asked to provide medical examinations after I had submitted the application. Again, should I have her do a medical clearance before sending the application to India?
3) For all documents where they ask her (as the applicant) and me (as the sponsor) to sign. I was planning on sending the pdf copy of the completed application, then ask her to sign it and then email me the signed pdf scan. Then i take a printout and attach. Is this okay? Or should I send it to her, get her to sign it and then get her to courier the application to me?

Other than that, the rest of the application process seems fine.

Thanks for any and all your help.

You need to have the police certificate and the medical record sent with the application to cic together. You can do them separately but it is not recommended as it may cause a delay to you application, or maybe it can be returned to you as incomplete.
The application forms are supposed to be originals as far as I can remember.
Just a suggestion, why not let her complete them and then send then to you for your signature and to be submitted.

Can the medical examination be done by any doctor? I remember there being a list of specified doctors that the CIC uses. Let me find it.

Thanks!

I've started the application. Might as well finish it up, send it to her then ask her to sign it and send it back. Looks like its going to be via courier.

Any doctor on the CIC list of approved physicians is ok. Doesn't have to be in India, she can have it done anywhere in the world as long as it is a CIC approved doctor.

Thanks for your help.

I had another question: On the form IMM5540E, Sponsor questionnaire, Q8 asks If i have resided in any countries other than Canada.

I grew up in Dubai and came to Canada on a study permit all the way back in August 2002, since I was 18 years old. Do I still need to give them the address that I lived in while in Dubai. Honestly, its such a long time, I dont even remember what the address was :S

Thanks,
