To clarify: your intent now is to move to Canada and reside?
1) Just put the first of the month or some other day and a short note that your documentation does not have a date field. (It is rather stupid that the govt's own docs don't record thi and then they require it)
2) Short letter of epxplanation, that although spouse is sponsoring, you expect to work. Best to show savings, ownership of house, income, etc., but they will take into acct your ability to work. (Also good if she can indicate she can/would work)
3) In almost all cases you get the police check and include with application. You can double-check requirements for UK though.
Yes, the intent is to reside in Canada, at the very least for the next 3 years as a minimum which is what most experts are saying it will take the UK to return to some sense of normalcy around inflation and interest rates but to name one factor...
1) Citizenship date: Yes, I was initially planning to do that, but based on past interactions with Canadian officials, I'm weary it might be deemed as providing incorrect details and be cause for rejection. So what do others do in this situation? Why it takes 15 months to pull citizenship record details when you just need the full date is beyond me.
2) Since our daughter is already a dual national, I'm not sure if she needs to be considered on the income table. We do have some savings in Canadian accounts. I could transfer some funds over from the UK as well to bide us over till I get a job. I can start looking into remote work jobs or will have to wait for the PR to come through as we'll be living in a border town to the US and most of my industry peers work in the US as the salary is significantly higher.
She did work in Canada prior to getting married, I suppose that is something we can look into it.
3) UK police checks take around a month. Hope to have it submitted by the end of this month.
4) Another thing I forgot to ask, given the length of time we have been married albeit apart (not separated) due to duaghter's health, I haven't given any consideration to what evidence to provide. I do have photos spanning 13 years of our marriage, phone logs are a problem as the world has switched to whatsapp... any guidance her would be appreciated.
