Application has been approved, waiting for my COPR documents :D

I have a couple of questions for once I land (planning in May/June time). On the September Spreadsheet it gives you the list of what you need with you, but I have a few questions.

1. With the PR Card Application (IMM 5444E) do you have to pay another fee for this application when you go to see an immigration officer? (I know silly question but just want to make sure).

2. If the officer asks for proof of funds, are bank statements from my wife's Canadian account acceptable? All my earnings are being transferred to her account before I fly over.

3. What's the best way to do the Goods Accompanying List? Is there an official form I need to complete before seeing the officer? I won't have goods to follow after I land in Canada, so am I right in guessing I don't need to do that form?

Many thanks.
1. They handle getting your first card mailed to you. They confirmed the address I'm staying at and handled the rest of the paperwork for that.

2. I was not asked for proof of funds. I haven't heard of this generally being a thing with spousal sponsorship landings.

3. I used this form:

http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186-eng.html

I had eight different fairly generic categories, listed like:

Toys (15 boxes)
Household Items (12 boxes)
Furniture (15 items)

Hello everyone

There have been much change to the Sponsorship process lately since CIC changed the forms.
Therefore, I've created this tracker on the immtracker site so that we can track and analyse the trends of the outland sponsorship process.
Use the tracker here
https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/outland-spouse-sponsorship
to add your case. You can also see useful analysis of all submitted cases, and also get a dynamic signature with your case, just like Mine!

Hi all

We applied through the HK visa office in September. The last update on CIC is Medical received but it was last updated back in December.

CIC sent me a letter a few weeks ago requesting for my birth certificate and HK police certificate. The weird thing is, I have been living in Canada since the age 18.

I've sent the birth certificate with a letter stating I have been in Canada since the age of 18 through the webform, but haven't heard back since. Should I still try to get a HK police certificate?

Thanks in advance

What visa office is your application at? Inland or Outland? That will help in answering your question.
