Hello...

I have recently mailed my wife's application and my sponsorship forms to Ontario. However, I noticed in my photocopy of "IMM5540E Sponsor Questionnaire", that I made a mistake in one question and forgot to answer one. My inquiry is as follows:

A. For question 5, "What is the highest level of education you have completed?", I checked High School and put down 5 years. I also checked College and put down 2 years. I now realize that I should also have checked "Elementary School" and put down my total years for that too. However, I did not.

B. For question 6, "Are you currently employed?" I forgot to tick the "Yes" box. HOWEVER, in the following question (#7), I did clearly put down the companies I am employed with and I have also noted that I am currently employed by them.

My question is: Will the Immigration Officer look at these two blunders as a means to send the sponsorship application back to me OR will the IO see that I am currently employed, as well as that my highest level of education IS in fact High School and College and process it?

Extended question: If they do send it back to me, will they send the Sponsorship application to me in Vancouver only or will they send the entire box with the Sponsorship forms AND the Immigration Forms to my wife in Germany, where she sent it from?

i only checked the highest level completed and the total amount of years . For example High School 12 years. Since that covers grades 1-12 getting ready to submit this application tomorrow. Now i am questioning it :)

If they send it back they will send it to the sponsors address. Lets hope you get an officer who has a bit of common sense and realizes this .

Hi ginsengsamurai,

I had my answers questioned before and what the officer did was requested me to refill in the application forms and send the updated forms back to them. I hope they can see they logic that for you to get to high school, you'd have to go through elementary school and also pick up the fact that you've put down your current employee names ^^;

Good luck :)
