Hello!
We are currently filling out our sponsorship application, and while we are pretty much done, we don't quite know how we should put our files together
in the package.
Do we put our proof of relationship in an envelope and staple it to the questionare, do we just include the photos inside no envelope?
How should we organize it and should we label everything?
Is it ok to staple things to our applications?
I bought 3 - plastic like folders, 3 - brown envelopes and 1-expanded folder
for the sponsor - In a plastic folder (immigration forms chronological order, supporting documents like photocopy of passport, birth certificate, i include also his school credentials and others. In a brown envelope, I gathered all his bank statements, statement of account from his stocks.
for the principal applicant (Me) - In a plastic folder (immigration forms chronological order, supporting documents. In 1st- brown envelope, I labeled it (Proof of Relationship to the Sponsor A) it includes wedding invitation with our name on it, pictures together with label at the back, envelope of power bills with our address, cable bills, Christmas cards from family, receipts of our gifts to each other. In 2nd brown envelope (Proof of Relationship to Sponsor B), it includes lease of the apartment contract, letter from friends, and sister in law (all notarized), statement of our joint account, insurances, car ownership both in our name, car registration both in our name.
for the dependent (My daughter) – In a plastic folder (all her documents)
put them all together in the expanded folder ready for mail.
I used staple if the pages is more than 1.
Very simple and straight. I landed last November from the Philippines in Vancouver. Good luck to your journey…
NOTE: Print the labels in a bond paper and paste it in front of the brown envelopes and also the address in the back of the expanded envelope.
