U.S. Husband Immigrating to Canada Question on Forms

[Mrs.Redneck]

Hi All, I know that I've let y'all know that I have finally began the application to sponsor my American husband to come to Canada, I need some encouragement and a little clarification. IMM5669 (His background declaration), requests personal history from 18 years of age or last 10 years. The information they are looking for on this is something like, " during the last 10 year period I was married to "X", we were living in Location A, USA, I was working as a (fill in the blank), and enjoyed filling my spare time with X.Y.Z.?? Also, when they ask for criminal convictions does this include traffic act, speeding tickets etc.? And could you please inform me if my perception is correct, after HE completes his documents, and I complete mine do these get submitted first then after I'm approved as sponsor we provide the F.B.I. check and medical? If they are requesting some information of a VERY historical nature and he absolutely can't remember is it ok to give what details he CAN remember to the best of his knowledge?
I KNEW that this was a very involved process, and I'm really very well educated, but this is overwhelming me, every time I sit to work on this I end up having an anxiety attack. It IS entirely possible to complete this task WITHOUT the use of a representative.....RIGHT?? Thanks for your input guys, much appreciated.

Hey! Welcome!

Take a peek here and it might ease yourself a little (and anwser some of the questions)

That said, the criminal check means anything criminal. Murder, abuse, DUI etc. Things he was charged with. Speeding tickets are fine, as long as he paid them haha.

All the papers go together to CIC-M (as I said in that blog post). The FBI Check and Medical has to be done BEFORE sending the application, and it must go with the application to CIC-M.

Yes, to the historical info haha. And attach a letter explaining he doesn't know all the details. But also try to find out the details, Google can surprise you!

As for IMM5669, they want to know the work history and if he wasn't working, what exactly he was doing (travelling, studying, job searching etc).

What about schooling during? I will be newly enrolled and attending school in Ontario while it processes. About the time I start I will have filed. After a 2 month break to move to Kingston and get settled before school and to have our wedding. How should I explain that?

As you you plan on applying for the PR after you start school? If so, just put "preparing for school".

Yes Parker, I saw that link posted in a forum and saved it to my fav's. I refer to it often, I also printed to Checklist and this is helpful to ensure completeness. Do many people use a representative or would that be primarily for cases that may have some complications?

Now I can PM

Mostly for those who have complicated cases. Ours was a little complicated because of me with a disability, but we didn't use any kind of representative. Well, we talked to one woman who helped a little but it was free so it was nice
