[@AJ3KM]

Hi Suyash. First of all thank you for providing these detailed and up to the mark videos. I have a doubt though if you can clarify. Under SPONSOR ELIGIBILITY ASSESMENT, I have a doubt regarding question number 6. Whether i should click yes or no. Actually i just submitted an Tourist visa application for my parents where i am acting as a sponsor as i am a permanent resident. But i am about to file a spousal PR application as well. So i am confused if question number 6 will count that tourist visa application already submitted for my parents. Or its only asking if i have submitted any other spousal pr application which i didn't as this is the first ever spousal application i am submitting. So just wanted to get an idea if question 6 would be a no or yes for me??

[@olabisiyusuf778]

Hello, Please I need clarification on question number 6. My spouse had applied for a Visiting Visa before we got married. This application has not been approved. Will that make the answer to the question a yes or a No?

I'm trying to submit the Family Class Spouse Sponsorship Application for permanent residence.

As per instructions of both IMM 5406 and IMM 5669 in the portal, names have to be entered in both english and native script. But the form is taking name from "My Profile" page is not allowing to enter name in native script. I'm unable to continue with my application at this point.Anyone still facing these issues ? If not how could you resolve them.

While submitting the application, there was a problem in the IMM 5406 and IMM 5669 forms.

We went ahead to submit the application with the bug and wrote a letter of explanation telling about the bug and attached the acknowledgement from the IRCC. Is that okay?
