Dear community,

I am a Canadian citizen, currently living in the US. I am sponsoring my wife for Canada. All the paperwork appears to be in order so far, but we got an email from Immigration, Refugees, and Immigration Canada saying the following:

We require the following item(s) to continue processing your application:
  • You must complete the Schedule A Background/Declaration (IMM 5669) form which is found at the following link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/eIMM5669E.pdf

    You and all of your family members aged 18 or older (if applicable) must submit this form. The
    document must be received at this office
  • At this time, you need to provide a police certificate for:...
I have the police and FBI certificates for my wife, but I am unclear if they want the Schedule A and police certificates for me also. I am not able to find any indication in the documentation if I, as a Canadian citizen, need to submit such documentation. Would someone please advice?

Thank you. So only the wife's Schedule A Background/Declaration form, and her police certificates, correct?

I'm pretty sure I have submitted her Schedule A along with the general immigration application and other papers. I wonder why they have asked to send it again.

This form only needs to be filled out by your wife ( and if you have dependant children over 18) you as Canadian Citizen don't need to fill out this form. the same applies for police clearence certificate

Thank you very much. I appreciate the information.
 
The government used to ask this form with a wrong form number as a temporary resident visa. The correct form that I found is IMM 5669
