Hi guys, I am in the process of completing the spousal application forms and I am a bit confused with this form.

According to the cic spousal checklist the IMM5406 Additional Family Info has to be filled up by the Principal Applicant. But on the top most part of the form, it states there that the "principal applicant, their spouse...must complete there own form.My husband is my sponsor.Just for clarification, this IMM5406 form needs to be completed by my spouse also which happens to be my sponsor?please help
no, the sponsor spouse does not fill out the form. remember these forms are generic for all streams of immigration, so whenever you see "spouse" on these forms, they are not referring to the sponsor. this refers to spouses who are applying for PR together. For application purposes, the sponsor spouse is the "sponsor", and is not considered a "spouse" or "family member".

Personally, i added my sponsor spouse on my additional family form because i wasn't sure if it was needed. i didn't have any issues with processing. however, since they are canadian, i'm not sure if they actually need to be on the form. this form is basically for info purposes only for CIC... it tells them who you may or may not intend to sponsor to come to canada in the future.

Thank you CDNPR2014 for replying on my last post.
if you are a visitor of canada, i wouldn't think you're considered a resident of canada, so personally i'd put your country of citizenship (or whatever you consider home) as your current residence. a multiple entry visa does not equal residency. you are not a temporary or permanent resident... you are a visitor. you can still use a canadian address for communication purposes in your application. where they send requests has nothing to do with your residency.

if you consider yourself a resident of canada even though you are a visitor, then i would put the last date you entered.

It is perfectly fine to put Canada as your current country of residence and use only a Canadian address in the app. Put your most recent entry date for FROM and the date your current stay expires for TO.

I would put the date from last year and include a little explanation about your visit home on a separate sheet.

Hi,

I am a Nursing student from Sydney Australia who is getting married to a Canadian Citizen next week In Canada.

I am interested in becoming a Candian Resident, I have read all the information on the CIC website and am aware of the sponsorship process.

I will be applying from outside of Canada (outland), is there any way to still live with my partner and work in Canada while the application is being assessed? Can I apply for the International Experiece Canada Working Holiday?

Once I've finished School in December, is it possible to apply for a Working Visa there?

I'm trying to find the quickest way to be living with my Partner once I'm finished School in December

Hi ,
you can apply outland and live with your husband in Canada , however you can't legally work.
The Good news is your VO is super fast and you may get approved before December .

Hello everybody, so this is what Document checklist states:

PROOF OF MEDICAL EXAMINATION
Include for yourself and each of your family members, proof of completion of the upfront medical
examination from the Panel

Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) - You and each of your family members must complete
their own copy of this form.

POLICE CERTIFICATES AND CLEARANCES
You must submit original police certificates of good conduct or clearances from each country in
which you and each of your family members aged 18 years or over have resided six continuous
months or more since reaching18 years of age. You must attach the original police certificate(s)
to the application

What is confusing for me is what they mean as "family member" ? Are those family members brothers and parents, or dependent children? Since my wife s the only one who is applying for permanent visa, do her brothers and parents (they are not coming to Canada) also need to do police check and medical examination? Thank you very much

Her parents and siblings are not considered family members for the purposes of this application.

From my personal opinion, family members refers to those person/s included in the application form and Will accompany the principal applicant to canada, also to those person/s that included in the application form and will not accompany the principal applicant but wishes to go to canada in due time. Best example: Dependant child, adopted child.

HI there, i understand how u feel, its not easy taking care of kids all by yourself and waiting endlessly for daddy to arrive.

However , i am sure there is progress on your application, you have been approved as a sponsor and his file has been sent to the Visa Office in London since January. Thats positive. only thing now is, u have to just hold on for sometime, because there is no way u or anyone can make the application process any faster. The VO will have to check and verify anything and everything they need to.

If u check the timeline for London VO, its 14 months ... SO u will calculate from the time u applied but the good news is most VOs don't take exactly that time to finish an application, i can't promise but if there are no red flags on the application, it should be concluded before 14 months.

And the way these VOs work, they won't contact u if they don't need anything from u, u just have to wait.

Lets hope he will get his visa before his medical expires in August. And if thats d case, just two more months.

Hang in Tight and pray!!!
