I am landed immigrant back in 2005 and got married in 2006 and now
want to Sponsor my wife and daughter who are back in home country. I
have some questions on application forms which i have listed here. Any
help and answer would be appreciated.
1) I haven't informed CIC about my marriage. Will it affect my
sponsorship process since I am letting CIC know through the
application process?
2) On IMM5540 - Sponsor Questionnaire form Question # 8 =93Have you
resided in countries other than Canada?=94 =96 I have resided in my home
country and USA. How far do I have to go in listing the address to
this question? I have forgotten some of my old apartments in USA, so
can I only list the address that I know correctly or need to mention
all the address I have lived in USA?
3) On IMM5481 =96 Sponsor Evaluation form Question # 3 =93Your Net
personal income=94 =96 I have started working from Aug. 2008 so what do I
write for net personal income of 12 month period? I have not worked
before in Canada so what do I mention for my net income? I have
written 12 month period starting as Aug 2008, what should I write for
ending date?
4) Do we have to notarize the photocopy of Permanent Resident card?
5) On IMM5491 =96 Document Checklist =96 It says need an original =93Option
C Printout=94. I haven=92t filed my taxes in Canada as I have just started
working from Aug 2008. What should I do with this supporting document?
Do I have to write letter to CIC saying I don=92t have one yet? Will it
affect my sponsorship application?
6) What should be minimum bank balance I have to present for a family
of three as part of supporting documents for this sponsorship
application? I am planning to show around 9000 CAD. Will this amount
be ok? My monthly salary is above 4000 so I think this income is
sufficient for sponsoring my family. I am planning to send letter from
my employer and bank balance as part of my supporting documents for
income.
7) On IMM0008 Application for PR form, my wife has mentioned
occupation of my daughter as =93Infant Child=94, Total numbers of years on
Education as 0, Cannot communicate in English or French, Passport
Details as N/A as my daughter is just few months old. Is those answers
ok?
8) On IMM0008 Schedule 1 Background/ Declaration form Question # 11
Personal History =96 It says give details for last 10 years. Because of
my wife=92s schooling goes beyond that 10 year period, should she give
dates for more than 10 year period or make it within the 10 year
period? She was thinking of entering her whole schooling period which
will make the personal history more than 10 year.
9) On IMM5406E Additional Family information form =96 Section A =96 Under
Spouse or Common Law Partner, should she write my name? It says =93See
Note 1=94 under Spouse or Common Law partner, what does that mean? Does
Date under that section applies only if we sign?
Thanks,
