Hi all,
I am from Bangladesh and a PR, living in Montreal. Applying for my spouse outland who is living in Bangladesh. She didn't had a passport so now she is applying for one. So I am confused on what to put in her permanent and present address in the form. We have diff. present and permanent address.
Like some people are saying after marriage her permanent address will be changed to mine like we should have the same permanent address. Should it be like that or does it matter actually?
Thanks, will really appreciate your response.
Welcome to the forum. Feel free to ask questions so that you can benefit and as you learn and eventually submit your sponsorship application, help out the other newbies in the future.
First, I would suggest you familiarize yourself with the process by visiting the government website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp (of course their is a french version too)
Now, to answer your question, it is an issue more to do with the Bangladeshi Passport that your wife will apply for then it has to do with the immigration application process itself. Remember, when she applies for Bangladeshi Passport, she can choose now which address she will use to show her residences; so it is ok if she shows her present address as her in-laws (your address in Bangladesh) address and shows her permanent address as her parents address.
Now for Canadian immigration purposes, because, she is married now with you, it is expected that she will show her present address as the address that you use in Bangladesh (that is where your parents live since you live in Canada). But it is really not that important. Because what if she already had a passport before she got married with you? That passport would show her current address/ permanent address which are completely different from your's right?
Let her get the Bangladeshi Passport first. Then it would be easier to fill out the immigration form. In the form (IMM 0008), which she will fill out, she has to provide 2 addresses: 1 residential address and 1 mailing address. For the residential address, she can show the one as per the Passport. for the mailing address, she can even use your address in Canada.
Hope that helps.
