********ATTENTION********: Spousal Sponsorship has now completely gone online. No More Paper Based. Signature requirements have changed as of September 2022. More details on the video below
ua-cam.com/video/Layd_zb8uAI/v-deo.html
5476 is for representative right then both PA & Any dependent and sponsor need to sign ??
now on IMM1344, they have written on the form that we can sign electronically. Do we still need to take printout and give hand signature? please answer. Thank you
thank you so much:) you gave me hope
Glad I could help!
Thank your, from Algeria. All the best
Suyash: With both professionalism and excellence, you have been kind enough to make this channel just to be an ACCURATE guide in online sponsorship app. I really really really appreciate it🍀🤞🏻. I was lucky to find it. 🎊
Amazing video and very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
amazing i will start my spouse application using your video hopefully if stuck I can ask you here.
Hi Suyash, thank you so much for uploading these videos. I am only midway through my application and following you has just made my life easier. I had a quick question for you. Since I am applying for spousal sponsorship via the online portal, do I still need to submit photocopies of all documents as suggested under the additional forms section? If yes, then where do I need to send these photocopies, is this a separate package?
excellent presentation
Glad you liked it!
Hey, great video man! This form has been updated as of 08-2022, you should definitely review the new checklist form as there are some new changes in it.
thank you for the info. bilal is right, the photos section in the new updated checklist i can't comprehend. any advice?
@@fouadchaar4021 i just made a new document and copy pasted all the information/context from each photo into it and labelled accordingly. It should work fine.
Hi Suyash. Thanks a lot for this video. It is very helpful. I got a question. Under documents required for sponsor, do I need to submit national identity cards for my spouse and family members and family booklet for my spouse who is the principal applicant? In your video, you didn’t mention about it.
Thanks I got more advantage to your videos. Please can make video what’s different about private sponsorship and community sponsorship if you have a time thanks
Hey Suyash,
Thank you so much for such an informational video. It helped me a lot in my process for getting spousal sponsorship. My wife is already in Canada as PR.
My question is
I moved to Australia in June 2018 and came back to India in June 2019 for engagement and also got our marriage registered (Without Indian rituals).
Had to go back to Aus after a month for completing studies. Due to covid, ritual wedding got delayed and traveled back to Ind in July 2021 and that's when we got married with Indian Rituals.
What do you think we should do for our case? Call out both the weddings? Or just the one with registered.
This is regarding form IMM 5532
Thank you very much for your helpful videos. Don’t you have any videos about 5562 form?
thanks for the note. not yet. will work on it.
Thank you so much, bro what is the status update of your spousal file?
Having your spouse accessed during your EE profile, as non accompany member: Having that Yes, Does that help in anyway speedup the process, as I'm just applying for spousal sponsorship and my wife and kids were non accompanied during my EE process.
Great content and very helpful information
I find all your videos so helpful, but theres one thing I come across where I can never find an answer! When the document checklist says " you (principal applicant) must delcare your family members whether they are accompnaying you or not. Do they just mean filling out the Additional Family Information form? Before they updated it they wanted all family members to sign as well as have their baptismal certificates which I thought was so bizarre.
Hi, thanks for your channel. My problem is that, in order to download the checklist and be able to save it as a PDF on my Mac, I can only use Firefox, but when I check any box in a section, it checks them all, and once in Acrobat, I don't know how to uncheck the wrong ones. Anyone else?
Please make a video if I applied for my spouse when we can link our application to our cic account?
Hiya, I just wanted to let you know, that the current Checklist supplied on the online portal no longer has (unfortunately) the box for an "Open Work Permit Application" (#5 - Class of Application Section) I found on the Immigration website, we now have to wait until our application is approved before we can apply. Which sucks as it also says it can take between 1-4 months to get one. 😔
Hi Suyash,
Considering online application, how to upload supporting documents (PartB)- under document checklist or Other?
Also the naming conventions?
Hi there i understand a lot from your videos i have a question though,: what is"Official and civil documents must be certified copies."?
Hi Bro it’s great video with all the information we need . But I have question I don’t upload any pictures on my social media accounts I don’t have even my own pic as my profile pic . In this case what I can do ?
Hello sir. Can you make a video of all documents that needs the e-signature? Thank you
Hello thank you for your videos you are explaning very well and in details all points of the whole application
Just i have one question regarding this form checklist : i jave applied for pr in 2019 and mentioning my husband as non accompanying so i have to check yes ?
Thank uu again
You are the best brother

Hello Suyash, I am confuse about two things
1st. For the online application i only have to upload one Passport photo ? ( I scanned and upload as PDF, Did they accepted your scanned photo ?) and
2nd. For the PCC ( I am Living in Canada (Principal Applicant), what should I write under the sections The country where you currently live , if you lived there for six month or more, and The country where you have lived most of your life since the age of 18 ?
Thank you for all the help. So because you need to write N/A next to 3. Additional Information about Children, you can't just upload the document but need to print the whole thing out, write N/A and scan it all back in? But I did that and it told me the file exceeded 4mb and couldn't be uploaded. What can I do with this?
Sir mera hoby work permit per ho chuka hai ab mera spouse visa apply time pasport stamp compalary hai ja nhi plz reply
Hi, I have a quick question. If we are applying online and the spouse resides in Canada on a work permit, what would be the country specific requirement in that case?
Hi quick question. We’re applying through online and I’m (wife) from Philippines. When we checked the document checklist philippines requires that we must submit the original copy of birth certificate and others. Do you think we need to submit the original if we are applying through online portal?
Hi Suyash,
I wanted to ask that --- If I am in Canada and I do not live with my common law partner but we both live in canada, then which box should I choose in section A in the 5. Class of Application field?
Hi, I had a few questions. In the checklist, in part e it says “Important documents for you and your spouse showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as employment or insurance benefits)” - can I tick this box and provide the marriage certificate even though I provided it earlier as part of the civil documents section?
Would really appreciate your help.
Thanks!
So , Spousal IMM 5533.. and the common law is IMM 5589? I do like your video I'm following the instructions. Do you have a common law inside online application? Thank you
Brother, do we need to add Imm 5476 use of representative form in the country specific requirement or not?
Hi, how to name the documents. For example the pr card of sponsor. All documents with principal applicants name or those documents of sponsor with his name.
do we need to check the left box, even if the asnwer is no?
Where do i upload my country specific req docs? Doest it file under “other” ?
Hello brother, hope you're doing well. I wanted to know that when did you apply for your wife and how long it took to get her approval for PR?
In October 2023, do we still need to take a print out of this form, scant it and then upload? Thanks.
Hey Suyash, how are we sending photocopies while doing online form?
Hi @suyash thank you for the info regarding spousal visa i have a query related to spousal application while filling imm 5669 filling parents details date of death fields without that we cannot navigate to next page how can we fix this issue
Hi Suyash ,
Hope you are doing well . I have one doubt in checklist .
In checklist , there is a check box to select proof of sponsors visit . As my spouse is travelled to canada on November 2021 after our marriage , he didnt came to india again .so we have provided the reason in IMM5532 . Do we need to tick the checkbox proof of sponsors visit in checklist .
Waiting for your reply
Thankyou
Hi there, I really need help to clear confusion regarding imm5533 section 7 a When Sponsor didn’t visit me and I have provided an explanation in imm5532 do I have to check the second box or leave the second box unchecked? Thank you!
Hi suyash the family booklet is that for family of applicant showing parents and brother and sister of applicant ?? Or for sponser and applicant and their children in their home land????
Hi Brother, you have helped us with your video in getting parents visitor visa.
I have one question
We are a family of 3 living in canada and in the PR pool, my wife is the main applicant and myself and daughter are dependents my wife didnt stay in any country from her childhood for more than 6 months so she need to get her PCC from India. I have stayed in UK for 2 Years i.e., from 2013-2015 do i need to get the PCC from UK for PR application as a partner?
Hey Suyash. Great video with proper explanation. I have 1 question if you could kindly help me out here. If I check yes to include open work permit application (for spouse ) in IMM5533e, do I need to fill out IMM5710 and attach with PR application?
You should attach all forms for open work permit application also
Hi Suyash,
Very well described video.
Can you please also guide us as to how you arranged a paper based application and its sequence. Including LOE or Summary of documents if provided. Clipping the application and arranging barcodes etc. A video would be of great help.
Thank you.
my application was online, not paper based. i have shared everything about how i did it in my videos.
Hi Suyash, about the requirement of Canadian Police Certificates, if my spouse comes on visitor visa and HAS NOT lived for more than 6months in canada before we apply for Inland application - do we have to provide Canadian Police Certificate ?
I am trying to submit my Visa application but I think i'm miss-understanding something or the info online is wrong. I have started my online application and on the Complete Guide (IMM 5289) it states it is mandatory to apply online but when I go to apply (on my "online application") it says to post it. I've done all the digital forms and validated them which produced the barcodes but I am at a loss on how to progress? Thanks
Hi, if I have my own legal children (under 18) include in my PR application, should I just check for the part in Page 6 - "SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FOR SPONSORED PERSONS (Principal applicant and all family members)"
3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT CHILD(REN)
and leave the remaining 3 boxes uncheck?
i have some problem with saving imm5533e. i can’t save that file, so can I print it out and scan it and submit it online?
Hi there, I am not sure if you will reply to my question, but I need your expertise. I follow the steps you set out and completed the forms but I am having trouble logging in to the portal.
So I am trying to help someone - my cousin - submit their sponsorship application online. What am I doing wrong .
Brother How should we prepare the pdf with applicant Face Photo and back side for online submission?
Hi Suyash, Thankss you so much for the detailed explanation. My wife is in India, after marriage, we have updated the national identity documents (aadhar card, PAN card & election card) details with the her new name and address, but not the passport details. (Note - She has her previous name and home address, in her Passport document).
I have a few questions :
1) Should we get her PCC based on her new address?
2) During the Canada Permanent Residency Application - Do I still need to fill her application with her name i.e. the name before marriage- as per her passport "given name" or we can fill the application with her new name (the name : After Marriage) - which is available in the nation identity document?
Part A Q12- Shouldn't this box be checked and then box checked for Not Applicable, rather than leaving it blank?
Looks like in Page 4 - For 12. Authority to release personal information - You have not selected "Not Applicable". Are you sure, because I see few other videos where they are selecting Not Applicable.
Hi i have submitted my spouse visa outside canada. unfortunately it got returned without mentioning reason why it got returned. i followed ur checklist directions, thankyou for guiding me. plse reply if u can suggest me for the situation. i have raised a webform but didnt get any reply too.
Thanks Suyash for the video. It looks like along with principal applicant, sponsor also has to submit the birth certificate. I have a minor spelling mistake in mother's name. Do you think affidavit should fix that as creating another birth certificate would take too much of time and also I have to be present there.
according to 5533, if sponsor is CITIZEN, birth cert is ONE of 4 items sponsor can submit, but if sponsor is PR, just PR card copy is good.
should i pay biometrics for only spousal application without dependents?
Hi Suyash,
How to submit photos for PR Card online? How to write address and name of photographer behind photo?
Hello Sir,
How long does it take to get AOR in PNP PR application online portal submission?
Which mail comes after submission mail?
Sir, there is no need to apply on paper based if the mail of online submission comes(automated)?
Please answer as soon as possible
Really valuable video.(i was watched Technical issues-online PR Portal)
Hi Suyash, your videos helped us a lot preparing Spousal PR application. We noticed few mistakes after submitting online. Is it possible to withdraw and re-submit application or wait we till hear from IRCC?
Try submitting a webform. Not guaranteed but could work
Hi I have a 1 year old child also in my application along with my spouse.Both of us are the biological parents.What are all forms should I fill on the child's behalf and sign?
A quick question for you... On part B point 4 of the checklist where it talks about previous relationships and says have you the sponsor previously been sponsored yourself for permanent residence ? I was dependent child when my dad sponsored my mom and I came in Canada when I was under 18 with my mom and siblings. Do I need to hit Yes for this or it only asks in terms of spouse married like situations because the heading of this point is previous relationships.. could you please guide me on this , I would highly appreciate it and keep up the good work you will get tons of blessings and prayers. THANK YOU.
Good question. My guess would be "Yes" because you were technically sponsored alongside your mom in the same application. But not sure, double check with someone else to be sure. and let me know also. this will be useful
Hi Suresh, I am currently living in Australia and If I search for country specific documents, nothing comes up for Australia
and my country of citizenship is India, do I still need to fill form 5562
Hi Brother, you are really doing great work and I really appreciate your videos' for helping people to fill application for their family members. quick question. I forgot submitting Document checklist form when I finally submitted my parents PR application. would there be any problem?
Thank you for your kind note. Document checklist is a requirement. So, had to be submitted. At this point I don’t really have much to offer. Try contacting IRCC and see what your options might be.
Hello! Thank you for your video which is really helpful. I have a question about providing the status of Canada. If the applicant hasn't travelled to Canada or doesn't have a status in Canada, should we just submit an explanation letter? Should we check that box?
Status in Canada is for the sponsor. Applicant does not have to provide any status document
Thanks for this informational video. Could you please suggest which mode of application is best as of now, online or paper ?
One more thing, if my spouse already had the biometrics done for visitor visa, does he need to provide it again for spouse visa?
Both modes work as of now(could change in future, so keep checking the ircc page).
second, depends. if previous biometrics are still valid by the time they are requested for spouse visa, then you can use the same biometrics. if they expired, then you will have to provide new.
Hey I have one question
I am PR and I have non accompany my spouse..
We already had updated medical
Pcc and one form( as asked by ircc)
UCI number ( printed on my copr)
So what time will it take to get file number and biometrics.
And should we go ahead with online or offline right now as we know workers are mostly at home.
Really pissed off with lot of negativity....
Hello, Thank you for uploading such helpful videos. I have a situation to discuss. My sister recently got married back home and came to Canada a month ago. She is currently applying for her husband. She is also pregnant and unable to work due to complications in her pregnancy. Under the Employment/Source of Income section, should she go with the second option? Also she worked last year and had filed her tax this year. From January 2024 till now she is not working. Can you please kindly suggest what should she do?
Hi Suyash, I have been watching your videos and they are super helpful. Sending you big thanks from my heart. I am in the process of sponsoring my husband from India just like you did. So, I have a question regarding this checklist, do we also have to submit the photocopies of principal applicant family member's passports, birth certificates or Aadhar cards if they are not coming to Canada ? I am so confused by looking at the checklist. Can you please let me know?
no not required at this point
@@HitSubmitCanada Thanks! So no need to submit principal applicant family's documents?
Hi! Thanks for so informative videos. Just one doubt: In point 5, in Note, they ask to mail the package to an address in nova scotia. Do we need to do that even when we are doing the online application?
no. not required for online
Thank you for this informational video. I have one question related point 3 for proof of relationship that friends and family recognized our relationship. Do I need to create 2 pdf files one for social media document and other one is for reference letter and name it accordingly or just create one pdf file and name it as proof of relationship??
its your choice, either way can be used as long as its clear. for my own clarity, i created separate files, labelled them as such, and uploaded them separately.
the newest 5533e form is a bit different for example it doesnt have the box to check for the open work permit, hopefully im on the most update to date form,
yeah thats fine, go with the latest
Thank You bro for the videos. You are doing a great job.
I have a doubt to clarify. I became a PR on Jan 2022, and had mentioned my spouse and child as non accompanying. In this case, should I choose Yes or No??
that will depend on whether you meet all conditions mentioned there,. i explained this in the section
Hi, great detailed video. I am in process of applying for my Spousal PR.
I had a quick question. Do we need educational documents for the Principal Applicant as well? I do not see it as a part of checklist but our agent said that it is required. Any help would be highly appreciated.
not needed. upto you to provide.
Share your timeline
Hi,
You didn’t update us if you’ve received any response from CIC from 5 months ago that you’ve applied for sponsorship PR?
😅thanks for your useful information that you’re sharing with us🙏
received good response. video coming up soon with all details. stay tuned
@@HitSubmitCanada nice 😊 I’m checking your channel so often to get any news about that 😅
Which one is faster, online or paper?
Hi . Thank you for sharing alot of information. I have one question . I have all the supporting documents everything but i dont have hat history before wedding. I never thought of keeping chat history. I have it after wedding but not before. It is our love marriage i have little from 2012 to 2015 but after that i dont have any call or chat history because we usually call amd when i came to canada i never kept any backups because i was not aware. Is that be any problem. I am really confused. I was added in family groups by my husband where i have little participation from 2016 till now but no chat history with my husband . I do have rebtel call logs from 2020 to now but nothing else related to chat
so, use the history after wedding. calls logs are good too. cant really do much about what you don't have. so, focus on other relationship documents more.
I guess you didn't make the video on a case when spouse is already in Canada on study permit. if you have made then please let me know..
Hi Suyash, can you please tell me if we need to to submit the educational documents of the principal applicant(spouse being sponsored) while submitting the application?
not a specific requirement. but i submitted for my wife. just to be safe.
Instruction given at 5:32 is not applicable for the updated version of IMM5533 (09-2022). The "Note" Section is removed. Therefore, I assume we have to leave the box empty. Please correct me if I am wrong or else you can Pin this comment. Thanks for the video, Really appreciate it.
Hi, I just realized that after seeing your comment. Did you leave the box empty and submit it?
Presently how much time take for copr
Hey great video man! One question, In part 1 of the supporting documents for the principal applicant, the point says that if you do not have a status in Canada, please provide an explanation on a piece of paper, this would apply to many people as they are not present in Canada or have a status in Canada, in that case what should we attach a letter of explanation and what should we explain in it?
hi, I am having the same question, how did you resolve it at the end? Did you submit an explanation letter?
@@yunxili7681 yes I did
@@bilalmasood9597 and did you check that box on in IMM5533? I am wondering if we should still check that box even if the applicant is not living in Canada and doesn’t have a status.
@@yunxili7681 no I did not check the box. I just wrote N/A besides it.
@@bilalmasood9597 thank you! It is really helpful
Mandetory need wes for spause?
Did you apply online or ?
Hello,
Thanks for uploading video, really helpful. I just wanted to know that how can we upload photos of marriage in an online application because in paper based we were supposed to write description on back of photo, unfortunately this cannot be done in online application. So how to perform this step ?
I think we need to mention in word doc and add pic and describe the event of the pic. as you said there is no option in to add description .
Hi Suyash,
Under supporting documents section it says "provide an explanation on piece of paper for not having the status in Canada" ...Did u submit the explanation for that and checked the box in the document ?
I'm also stuck at this point. Did you provide any LOE if Principal Applicant did not travel to Canada?
@@subhrajitmaity yes
Part B Checklist #5. Photos, it mentions "supply 2 photos for each of your accompanying family members and yourself" If i am a Canadian Citizen and we have a child together whom is ALSO Canadian citizen, do we have to supply photos of us as well as the principal applicant as well? Because our plan is to all arrive in Canada together.
not required for Canadian citizens
Hi I just have a quick question, Regarding the Use of representative. I am the principal applicant and doing all the paper works I should put in their not appointing right? would it matter in the application ? hope to hear from u .. Thank you
Yes, if you are doing everything yourself as a principal applicant,(even your sponsor is not doing it on your behalf)
then you are not appointing a rep.
@@HitSubmitCanada thank you for your reply. Really appreciate it. Trying to figure everything out as hiring a consultant is too expensive :). I think I watched mostly of ur videos for the forms and about the application.
I just got confused.. please answer 🙏 about the 11 using representative. You mean my sponsor will be my representative? You will be sending the application online and who will be creating the PR account?
previously the sponsor could also submit the application but they have recently changed the instructions. Even if the sponsor is the representative, the PA should create the account in the portal and submit the application themselves.
Hi Suyash. I am finalizing my papers to submit. Im just confuse cos people i asked provided 2 different answer. I just want to confirm it to you.
1. I have an additional sheet from the forms (e.g imm 008). Should i put it together with the form? Like put at the back of the specific form?
2. Does it goes the ame goes with a letter of explanation for a maintained status?
3. In every question asked in every form where they asked for current status. Should i provide a letter of explanation over and over again in every form? Or just once? Like im the imm 008 form?
I would say, just one detailed letter of explanation should be ok. make sure to include as much detail as you can to avoid any confusion for the officer.
@@HitSubmitCanada thank you for the reply Suyash. I submitted every document on every form 😅. Application sent yesterday (paper based). Im hopeful bout it. Thank to all your videos here. I watched all them and it was a big help.
Thank you for all your effort , It really big help for me . But now i has a question if you can help for IMM5533e online
-I can not type N/A on Additional information about children .
And when i fill the form
-i cant save it 😥😥
Watch the 5532 digital signature video, you can use the same technique that I share in that video in this form also
