Signatures Needed for Spousal Sponsorship

[mandana.yazdanian]

I'm sponsoring/applying for my husband to come to Canada from Iran under Family Class.

We filled forms that were related to him so he could sign them on my last trip to Iran. We just realized that he needed to sign form IMM1344 but we missed it. Now, I' wondering if a photocopy of his signature is acceptable? Can he sign and scan the form?

Signatures
If signatures are missing, we will return the application without processing it.

Note: IRCC will normally accept forms with photocopies of signatures. However, you may be asked to provide the original copy of your forms with an original signature if an IRCC officer determines it is necessary.

• Remember to check for a signature block on each form and sign when needed. If forms are not signed in the correct places, and by the correct people, we will return your application without processing it.
• Signatures may be required in more than one place, or by more than one person on some forms.
• Where a date is needed, make sure you complete the section.
• A parent or legal guardian must sign on behalf of a dependent child under the age of 18 when a signature for this person is required.

Important: Use the last page of your checklist to help you make sure all forms have been signed correctly.

However, i would ask the applicant to handwritten sign the form and send it through registered courier with tracking number.....prefer to wait one extra week than to get IRCC to later for whatever reason ask for the form to be handwritten signed, can't afford any delays or future issue......its up to you.
