Hello!
I am currently filling out sponsorship forms, and also filling out the principal applicant forms on behalf of my wife and I have a question concerning signing it. So my question is, if I'm feeling the application form on my computer is that considered filling it out online? Also I have discovered by reading the guides that they prefer I sign the forms in ink, but if I'm filling it out of my computer do I really have to give an electronic signature?

Read the CIC on libe guide. It us very clear. You must fill out and print the forms then sign the prints by hand.

Thank you!!! Again I have been reading the guides but it just seems like one thing says give an electronic signature and another thing says sign in ink. But I will definitely take to heart what you said! Thanks!!

IMM 5525 is pretty clear about signatures. Spousal sponsorship requires hand signatures (different immigration streams may have different requirements).

Hello all,
Sorry to bother you all but I had realized that some of the Sponsorship forms from my PA differ in the signature. More specifically in the curve of the application, the signs are not very consistent. For family sponsorship, can this be a problem? I have just sent the application, at what stage could they raise a flag if this is an issue?
