Filling out the IMM1294 & IMM5257

[@wendylopez-ez9gl]

Hi Kim, how are you? Hope u r doing great! I want to ask 5 questions: 1. About question 4 in IMM1294 form which is ‘room and board cost’, what if I’ll be staying in my sponsor’s home? And about ‘tuition fee’ should I put the total TUition fee for the whole 2 years? 2. Question 6 in IMM1294, ‘My study expenses will be paid by’ myself and my Sponsor. So which one should I choose? Myself or others? 3. Question 5 in IMM1294 ‘funds available for my stay’. Do I put my available fund in my bank and as well as my aunt’s available funds from her bank? 4. Section C in IMM5645 which is siblings info, my mom’s dead and now I have a stepmother and she has kids from her previous husband but they are living in a far away city. I never met them yet and my stepmom is not married to my dad. Do I still need to put their names? 5. Do I need to print IMM5645 form to be able to put my signature? Thanks in advance and I hope you make more content like this coz it is so helpful.

[@kimanderson8017]

Hi Wendy, for questions 1 - 3 Since you're staying with your Aunt, you do not need to list the full $10,000 for living expenses. A smaller amount may suffice. You would however need to list the funds you have available for your Tuition and I'd suggest at least the full fee for your first semester. Sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I do not think it is necessary to list your half siblings, especially if they are not living in Canada and you do not plan to use them for additional points towards express entry in the future. All the best with your application.

Hey Vahad, thanks for your feedback on the video. If you need additional space for any section. It is ok for you to add the additional information on a blank sheet of paper. After you can completed you form, you would validate, barcodes appear then you attach that additional sheet with information at the end making everything one document. Just ensure you do not forget to validate if its the IMM1294

Oh one last thing. I remember from my visitor Visa I had to have a JP sign a document because I stated I am in a common law relationship. When I state this on my study Visa how will I get that verification. Will be happy of you could help with this.

[@kimanderson8017]

Hi Chei Ann, I do not have any experience where I had to have any document signed by a JP for immigration purposes. I however believe that if there are any documents that need to be signed by a JP, Immigration would eventually request this to be done at some point, even after you have submitted your application. If I were in your position I'd get those same documents I had to get signed the last time signed again, and submit those with my application to avoid any delays in the processing time. I hope I understand what you were asking and answered correctly. You can follow me on instagram at @Kimmie_u or you can find me on fb @Kim Anderson

[@kimanderson8017]

Chei, you can look back on that letter you had received with your visitors visa was approved and you will find your UCI number at the top. The UCI helps to link your applications. Since you already have a visa and you will be in Canada before it expires, I would not complete the 'Application for Temporary ....Outside Canada." In this case I think its very important you find your UCI number. I'd also mention in my explanation letter that I have a valid visitors visa and attach a copy.

Also, if we have received a fund offer from the university we've been accepted to, should we write Other in "my expenses in Canada will be paid by:"? Thank u so much in advance!

[@kimanderson8017]

Hi Kimiya. I'm doing great and i hope you are as well. Section 4 on the IMM1294 asks for information on the costs of your studies but I would still include my Tuition fees in the overall amount I have available for my stay. I would say my expenses are being paid by myself or parents. The overall picture you want to paint to the immigration officer reviewing your application is that you have the funds available to take care of yourself while here in Canada, even if any financing plans such as a job or funding you have for when you come to Canada doesn't work out.

Hi Kim, thank you for the explanation. I'm gonna pursue a master. In the tuition section do I need to put the cost of 2 years of only 1 year? Indeed, I have a scholarship of 15k and my supervisor will give me 15k. The tuitions for 2years are 28k. Are my funds enough ?

Hi Kim, how all is well.. if I have a temporary resident Visa already, do I need to still fill out the temporary resident visa part ??

[@kimanderson8017]

Hi Yani, no you would not need to. You can say that in your explanation letter and attach a copy of the visa to your letter.

Hands down one of the best videos on study permit. However I still have a question. At the end of the Application for study permit you did not sign or add the date. Is that ok?

[@kimanderson8017]

Thank you :-) It feels very good to know that someone finds my videos useful. If you are submitting your application electronically, you do not need to sign, just ensure you hit that 'Validate' button at the top of the form and the extra page with the bar codes will appear and you're good to go. All the best on your application.

[@aladeakeem938]

hi kim, thanks for this video it is really helpful, however is it complusory to include family members while filling the form, father ,mother,sisters,brothers etc? and from your experience dont you think including spouse to follow for studies might affect the consideration of the visa. it will look too obvious the family are not going to leave after studies. just looking it from my own angle.please kindly share your own opinion. thanks

[@kimanderson8017]

Hello Akeem, thanks for your feedback on the video. I appreciate you watching. Your questions and concerns are fair and I'm sure many others may ask this same questions. With regards to including your parents and siblings on the application, yes I think its necessary. Simply because the they asked for this information. You do not want to leave your application incomplete causing them to have any question mark on your background which would further jeopardize your application being successful. Now if you have a half sibling who you have never met, or met only a few times with whom you do not really have a close relationship with, I would not include them in my application. Making that decision also takes into consideration that they do not reside in Canada and you nor that person plans on using each other for extra points towards your PR application (totally different convo here).

[@kimanderson8017]

With regards to including your spouse, I'm not sure if I fully understand. Are you making mention of your spouse in your application that they will be coming to Canada to study in short order? Once again very valid question but please note that Canada's aim is to invite over 400K permanent residents in 2021. Canada wants persons/families here to contribute to the economy they do not want persons here who will be working illegally and become a burned to the system. Hence why i believe its so important to show you are able to sustain yourself/family while here in Canada. I'm sure immigration knows most persons intention is to permanently stay in Canada but they still have to do their due diligence to avoid illegal settlers. All of this is in my opinion of course :-). So its all based on how you present the information in your application.

[@aladeakeem938]

Thanks for ur response, however for clarity, my question on including spouse on your application as a student ,for example now I am applying for a student visa and I now include my spouse and my child to follow me to Canada won't that send a signal that we don't have intention of going back to our county since we are all going ? And if finally consider will the visa cover for my and my family or my spouse has to apply fir her own separately knowing fully well that she is not going to school when we get to Canada . Is it work visa she will apply for or my student visa cover for both of us?

[@kimanderson8017]

@@aladeakeem938 You would need to apply for a Spousal Open Work permit if your spouse is accompanying you to Canada. This can be a part of your the same application for your study permit. You would each get a visa plus your permits. A minor child is permitted to study in Canada without a study permit providing that one of the parent is either a study or work permit holder. Please also note that the length of whatever permit is issued to your spouse is dependent on the length of your study permit. I do not think you need to be concerned about your family coming to Canada with you raising any red flags for your application. As long as your show means of financial support to take care of your family while here, you should be fine.

What if I put my mom name wrong😕and submitted my file for my study visa Is their any solution😕

[@kimanderson8017]

Hello Navdeep. You haven't really explained what you did wrong as it relates to your mom's name. If you missed a letter for example, I do not think its a big deal and will affect your application. However, if you think its a major error that could affect your application, you can reach out to CIC by means of a Webform after you have submitted your application. Please review this link www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=52&top=34 (under "Update Your Application") and the link to creating a webform www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp (click on "Tell Us" and answer the questions that follow and it will lead you to the webform).
