I am preparing an online sponsorship package and come across Form 5562 - Travel history (as supplementary form) for PA and SP. This is not listed under document check list for common law sponsorship outside Canada. It is quite confusing whether or not this is required.

Is this form mandatory for my sponsorship? Thanks.

Start with the official package:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/apply.html

Read the instructions, and then tell us what they say.

Hi Everyone. I have a question about Spousal sponsorship. Im PR and in Canada now. Want to apply for immigration for my husband.

My child has submitted a Super Visa application for my husband. Once my husband receives the Super Visa he'll come to Canada and live in Canada with me, on Super Visa.

Should I apply for INLAND or OUTLAND for my husband? I either apply for INLAND spousal sponsorship once he's in Canada, or apply for OUTLAND now.

What're the pros and cons for each option? my husband has a job in our home country, so the Work Permit in Canada isn't a priority for him.

Is it true that once he applies for INLAND, it's best for him to stay in Canada, otherwise it would affect the spousal sponsorship negatively?
Which one has a higher approval rate?

Hi Everyone. I joined this forum recently and have a question about Spousal sponsorship. Should I apply for INLAND or OUTLAND? I am in Canada and have PR card. My husband is not in Canada. I can either apply for a visitor visa for him, and apply for INLAND spousal sponsorship once he's in Canada, or apply for OUTLAND now. What're the pros and cons for each option? He has a job in our home country so the Work Permit in Canada isn't a priority for him.

Is it true that once he applies for INLAND, it's best for him to stay in Canada, otherwise it would affect the spousal sponsorship negatively?

Which one has a higher approval rate?
-He doesn't have a visa yet, so don't make plans based on something uncertain.
-Short form: apply outland.
-If he's going to remain in home country and work there until approved as PR, zero benefit in inland, some downsides.
-Yes, an inland application should mostly stay ... inland.
-I don't know that either has a different approval rate.

One small note, if he wishes to visit during the process, it may be better to apply for the visitor's visa before the spousal app. Do that now whle you prepare the spousal app.

Thank you very much!

My child has submitted a Super Visa application for my husband. Once my husband receives the Super Visa he'll come to Canada and live in Canada with me, on Super Visa. Im wondering whether I should wait till he's here and then apply for INland spousal, or apply for OUTland spousal now. Could you please share your thoughts? Thanks!

Did it not occur to you that these facts are relevant to your questions above? And that for others to answer those questions, you should share relevant information?

Personally I would wait until he receives the supervisa so that the PR app doesn't affect the judgment about the supervisa.

As for outland vs inland: if he doesn't wish to work while the file is in process, the simplest is to apply outland, as then no need to stay in Canada (should somethign come up).

I do not know which might be quicker. There are published timelines but I'm not certain whether they are in fact accurate for apps filed now. It's possible inland would be quicker but I do not know.

I added the SUPERVISA info in my original post.

Dear members,

Can you advise if I can apply for a work permit for my spouse once the the AIP stage is reached? The agent is asking me to pay the money as he thinks the spouse can be in Canada within 5 months (Outland application). I'm a Canadian PR

If you applied outland, you cannot apply for OWP. Fire your agent.
