Should i check 'yes' for accompanying?

[sarnath]

We are planning to apply for a work-permit for my wife. I am on H1 in the USA and have the necessary documents. I would like to visit her (on and off) while she is working in Canada.

I am confused about the 'accompanying you?' question Should we check the 'yes' box for 'accompanying you' in the IMM 1295?

My point is that I don't want to give them the impression that I will be staying in Canada throughout. I want them to understand that I will be visiting my wife on and off and want to have the flexibility of entering and leaving Canada as long as she has her job there.

On a different note, should I submit the original H1-B document (I-797) or will a photocopy suffice?
Last, do I have to notarize all the photocopies?

You can check the 'no' and then apply for a TRV later when you want to visit her.

For you when you apply for your TRV:

If you are in the United States with H-1 status, please provide:

* Your original I-797 approval notice form and
* A letter from your employer or other proof of current employment.

# If you are in the United States with temporary status, please provide:

* Your US Non-Immigrant Visa, (whether it is in your current passport or an expired passport)
* The original I-94 card issued by US authorities at the time of your entry into the US,
* The original document issued to you by US authorities to confer that status (e.g.: SEVIS I-20 or DS-2019 or I-797 form).
