Hello

I came to Canada as a Refugee back in 1994 from Bosnia.

Obtained my Citizenship around 1999.

Now i am sponsoring my wife who is american and in some of the forms ( IMM 5540F) its asking .

9. " Are you a naturalized canadian or permanent resident of Canada ? " Im thinking put No

10. " Were you yourself sponsored to come to Canada ?" Not sure what to put here...i came as a refugee and the country took us as refugees so the country spounsored us..

Also , i am married to my spouse, do i have to fill the IMM5409E form ( Statutory declartion of common law union ) ..I dont think so since were not common law, were married living together
 
The answer to the first question is yes since you weren't born in Canada.

The answer to the second question is no.
