I have a question about details from from 5481..

From 5481 requires to list the number of persons included in "undertakings in effect and NOT yet in effect", #4. (has) Myself, #5. says to input the number from box 3 of Generic App. form 0008, however, this box 3 of form 0008 also has myself included in it. Therefore, I am included twice in this total. The box total from 0008 is 5, myself, my wife, her brother, and her parents. However, if I add 5 to the "1" then I have an extra person included because I am included TWO times....

2. From 5481 question 5B asks for information about "family members and persons included in previous undertakings in effect or not yet in effect...
I have no "PREVIOUS UNDERTAKINGS" but do I need to again include the names of my wife's family for THIS UNDERTAKING under 5Bi or 5Bii ?? If so, under which category do I write them down?? 5Bi says "Persons included in previous undertakings I signed as sponsor that are still in effect?" Or.... 5Bii: "Persons included in previous undertakings I signed as sponsor that are NOT yet in effect.?? This form is really not clear and seems to overlap too much so that I don't know what to fill and where... Does this only apply for any OTHER application OTHER than the one I'm currently filling out, OR does it mean to just list the info for the people of THIS undertaking which is 'not yet in effect'.....

Nothing you have described sounds like your case is complicated. Assuming there are no other issues, you shouldn't have any specific difficulties provided you submit a complete application.

The search worked for me. It lists a single Panel Physician in Azerbaijan. He is in Baku:

Ibrahim Seidov
Western Medical / Turkish-American Medical Centre,
Mardanov Gardashlari 41 / 47
AZ1014

Phone: (994-50) 213 13 87

But keep in mind you can have the examination done anywhere in the world - by any Panel Physician authorized by CIC.

There are many knowledgeable people in the forum, so of course you can ask here. Also, I encourage you to search here as well - often questions have been answered before and searching first will ensure you don't have to wait for someone to answer you.

A long wait is next. Twelve months is the current processing time. My application has been in Manila since about the time you applied for your sponsorship and I haven't heard anything yet.

You are not undertaking anyone except your wife.

In Box 3 of form IMM 0008, the number is only 1. So, in Form IMM 5481 5 A) is 1 but 5 B) all boxes are 0. 6 A) & B) is 0. So, total of 4, 5 & 6 is 2

I cant search in 528 page, I looked in about 50 pages , I found some answers close my answers, But not exactly identical

anyway this is my inquiries :

1- Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] , question no.3 "" Indicate the total number of family members included in your application. This includes yourself and any family members, regardless of whether they intend to accompany you to Canada or not.""

I confused about this question knowing that my family members is 3 , me, my wife, and my little son , Assuming that my wife is my sponsor and my son is a Canadian also
Please tell me what to write in this box :1, 2 or 3 ?????

2- In the same form (0008) they ask about Dependant(s) > they say , you must provide all the following details about each of your family members, you must include your spouse and all of your dependent children, and those of your spouse , who already permanent resident or citizen of Canada
Please tell me what to do ؟؟
