Spousal sponsorship

[CharlieD10]

Dear friends,

I am in process of finalizing the packet for sponsoring my wife. I had a few basic questions. Your help would be greatly appreciated:

A) Is there a rule that no metals are to be included in the packet? Does that mean I can't staple any of the documents in the packet either?

B) How did you guys structure the application packet that you sent to Missassauga? I am thinking of having 4 portions: 1) Sponsor's forms, 2) Applicant's forms, 3) Required documents e.g. medical, police clearance certificates, birth certificates, educational documents etc and lastly 4) Proofs e.g. pictures, phone bills, e-mails, supplementary credit card, joint back accounts etc. Any tips and tricks / general advice when structuring the packet?


Warm regards,

A) Don't staple anything. If you must, use a binder clip or bulldog clip.

B) There is no specific way to do it, most people sort the forms according to the checklists and that works fine.

I did something very similar to this. I stuck tabs on each form with the form number and name (e.g. "IMM0008 - Application") so it would be easy to locate each form. I colour-coded the tabs for sponsor, applicant, and sections in our book of relationship proofs.

I made sure to follow and include the document checklist. I put the sponsor's supporting documents with the sponsor's forms and the immigrant's documents with the immigration forms.

Thank you for your perspective on structuring the packet as well as the staples.

I guess I will use plastic paper clips -- hopefully that should work.

As for structuring the packet, i'll follow the check list and introduce tabs for easy navigating -- similar to boshetunmai

Cheers

Do I need to fill out my "net personal income" considering I am working out side of Canada? I'm currently working in Israel and if yes, how do I fill it out? in CAD or ILS?

Last 12 months. If you just started working, then say so and include a copy of your new contract if it details your compensation.

Hello there,

My husband is holding PR in Canada, who lives in Canada as well. Im Brit in UK now. We send my app (outland) at the end of Dec 2011(just found out immigration process just take around 3 months for British from this forum. Thanx very much for the information). And currently Im applying working holiday visa, still waiting for the confirmation. But my rented house just about expire the contact. I wanted go back to Canada, waiting there no matter which one come to me first. Is it too risky to do so? Anybody any suggestion? Really have to decide right now...very stressful...help~

Thank you very much in advance!

No, don't put N/A where you actually do have information. Put in the period you did work, then on a separate sheet of paper, write a complete explanation.

Hi, more questions coming

I understand that I (the Sponsored Husband) need to do a medical examination, I called one of the doctors here that has the authority provide the examination. My question is how long does it take to receive an answer (I am healthy 100%) I know that I need that green form from the website. So do I get it back signed or does the visa office here in Israel receives it without me sending it to Mississauga (just like the police certificate)?

The doctor ("DMP") will send the report to Ottawa. Medical officers in Ottawa will review the file and write up their own report and enter it into the computer system. The IMM1017 form that you get from the doctor has a unique serial number on it that will be used to find your medical examination results. That is why you send that receipt to the visa office - so in the visa office they can match up your application with the DMP's report.

Note that the DMP does not make a medical decision - they merely write up their findings and send along the test results (usually 1-2 weeks after your original examination.)

Hi all,

I want to update my address on my husband's "Additional Family Information" form, which he's already signed, and is now with me in Canada, waiting to be submitted next week when our app is complete. Can I just put a line through it, write the correct address, and initial it? Or can I use white out? How anal is the Egyptian visa office about these things?

Thanks!!
