Hi Everyone,

Yung asawa ko PR in Canada for 3 yrs now. We got married last July 2014 and she wants to sponsor me.

We gone through the guide for sponsorship outside Canada and I got confused on the list of documents that she need to send for the application.

Do we need to include all the documents that will come from the sponsored person? Or is it just the one listed for the sponsor?

Please help me on this..

Thanks..
Hi pop32. The application package must contain the application of both the 'sponsor' and the sponsored person ('principal applicant'). Ang wife mo ang magsusubmit ng applications sa CPC - Mississauga. I have copied the link below of what forms you guys need to fill out. Let me know kung may questions ka.

It took a little over 2 months bago ko nakuha ang sponsorship approval ko. Make sure na complete ang forms nyo and documents when the application package is submitted to CPC para walang delays.

Hi sis i have that form given by CFO but still confuse how to fill up....i send u PM pls see ur inbox...need answer....thanks much in advance
Hi yankee! As per my experience upon landing last year, you don't have to bother too much. If it's with regards to personal belongings lang like clothes, shoes and fancy jewelries, estimate mo nalang ang cost, if you are bringing gadgets ganian, estimate lang din ng cost itemize like laptop, smartphones etc. tapos po if you have jewelries, estimate lang din ng cost. Particular lang sila sa pocket money if more than CAD10k because you have to declare it. Pero not very specific naman sila na isa isahin mo lahat ng dala mo sa baggage po.:)

checked these 3 sites: skyscanner, cheapoair and priceline. so far priceline is offering the lowest fare among the 3, pero masyado matagal layover dun sa target date namin.
Here is an idea try calling an airline direct and see what you get for a quote. Sometimes you will be quite surprised at the offer.

Be careful with priceline and flighthub... flighthub likes to hold the full amount of the ticket as a pre-auth and then try to charge the full amount for the ticket!

Crossing the border: documents you need
Prepare your documents with care
If you wish to enter Canada, there are documents you must have in order to cross the border. Without these documents, you will not be allowed into Canada.

You may also need many of the other documents listed below. You may wish to have your important documents translated into English or French before arriving to make it easier for people in Canada to understand them.

Essential documents
To enter Canada, you will need to present the following:

A Canadian immigrant visa (if applicable) and Confirmation of Permanent Residence for each family member traveling with you
A valid passport or other travel document for each family member traveling with you
Two (2) copies of a detailed list of all the personal or household items you are bringing with you
Two (2) copies of a list of items that are arriving later and their money value
Do not pack these documents in your luggage. Keep them with you at all times.

Before you arrive, you should prepare two copies of a list (preferably typed) of all the goods you intend to bring into Canada as settler's effects, showing the value, make, model and serial number, if the item has one. Divide the list into two sections: the goods you are bringing with you and the goods to follow.

Present this list to the border services officer on your first point of arrival in Canada, even if you are not bringing in any goods at that time.

You can make the process easier by completing a B4 form in advance and presenting it to the officer when you arrive. Visit the Canada Border Services Agency website to download a copy of the Form B4, Personal Effects Accounting Documents (PDF, 1.95 MB).

Disclosure of funds
If you are carrying more than CDN $10,000, tell a Canadian official when you arrive in Canada. If you do not tell an official, you may be fined or put in prison. These funds could be in the form of:

Cash
Securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures, treasury bills)
Negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bankers' drafts, cheques, travelers' cheques or money orders)
Find out more about your responsibilities to disclose funds either before you leave or once you arrive in Canada.

Health documentation
Children in Canada are vaccinated—also called immunized—beginning when they are newborns. Vaccinations help to prevent serious infections or diseases.

When you travel to Canada, bring official documents that state what vaccinations you and your family have already had. If you or your child has not been vaccinated, call your doctor or local public health clinic right away.

In Canada, immunization or vaccination records are required for children to enroll in school.

Other documents you may need:
Birth certificates or baptismal certificates
Marriage certificates
Adoption, separation or divorce papers
School records, diplomas or degrees for each family member traveling with you
Trade or professional certificates and licences
Letters of reference from former employers
A list of your educational and professional qualifications and job experience (for your résumé)
Driver's licence, including an International Driver's Permit and a reference from your auto insurance company
Photocopies of all essential and important documents, in case the originals get lost (be sure to keep the photocopies in a separate place from the originals)
Car registration documents (if you are importing a motor vehicle into Canada)
Customs declaration card
Before you arrive in Canada, you may be asked to complete a Customs Declaration Card. You must complete this card before you meet with customs and immigration officials, even if you are not a Canadian citizen. If you are traveling by air, it is a good idea to complete the card before you leave the airplane.

What to declare

Use the Customs Declaration Card to declare the following:

Any items that you must pay duty on, including alcohol, tobacco and gifts that you are bringing in to Canada
Any business goods, plants, food, animals, firearms or other weapons that you are bringing into Canada
Any amount of money more than CDN $10,000 that you are bringing into Canada
Do not use this form to list the personal and household goods that you are bringing with you or are following you to Canada. You will show your lists of those items separately to a customs officer.

Declare all items

If you do not tell an official that you are carrying items that should be declared, you may be fined or put in prison. The money you declare can be in the form of cash, securities in bearer form (for example, stocks, bonds, debentures or treasury bills) or negotiable instruments in bearer form (for example, bank drafts, cheques, travellers cheques or money orders).

For more information, contact the Canada Border Services Agency.
