[@farisk7006]

Should the applicant fill spouse info, who is a PR in Canada under dependent section

[@suhaal-bayati8268]

Thanks for the info, just my comment if your wife as main applicant, then you have to choose add dependent for you. Then you fiil all your information.

[@AugustineOnedibe]

Hi, your video is very helpful and informative,pls in the checklist form, there's an instruction on the forms to be signed and by who including all the digital forms e.g Generic form 0008 and others but I can't find any space or column for signatures on any of the forms, how do I go about it?

[@kaylikmak3048]

Any luck finding a response for this as i have the same question ?

[@canadadreamers_]

i think they have not updated the checklist. As long as you signed everywhere in individual forms, you are good. hope this helps, please like share and subscribe :)

[@soeuioh3285]

Hi, thank you so much for your video. It is helping me a lot! I just wanted to ask, every time I try to type in a required field, it shows the blocked sign. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Thank you!

[@rameezomer3005]

If you're talking about Applicant Details and Addresses, that is because those are to be updated in the 'My Profile" section.

[@prabhjeetkaur-c2y]

Hello, In the form there is a point ( Have you ever used any other name), In most of the document I use the first name only and did not used the last name. So should I leave this column empty for should I write my first name in this column. Please reply me as soon as fast.

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello thanks for watching. Generally people write the name same as appearing in their passport. If you don’t have any last name l, i think you need to leave that blank. But I am not sure. Thanks

[@joseqmontoya]

thank you for your videos, they have helped me a lot in the process of sponsoring my wife. I have a question, for the IMM0008 form in the studies section I don't know which one to choose, my wife graduated from university in Colombia, but I don't know which degree of education is equivalent here in Canada. do you know which option is equivalent? Thank you very much.

[@canadadreamers_]

thank you so much! they don't see the equivalency here in IMM forms, so just fill the degree which she completed from the university of Columbia.

[@inamratasingh]

Can you advise how you saved these web forms as pdf's? You didn't mention anything about that in the video even though description of the video says you will show how to save them. W

[@canadadreamers_]

Thanks for watching. My bad. To save the digital webforms you just need to press Control P from your windows computer or command P from your macbook. You need to do this for all the sections/pages for your webform. Save them as pdfs to your computer for your reference only. Dont upload any of that. Hope this is helpful.

Hi, I am in Canada and I came as a student in 2019. I got married to my partner in 2023, who is Canadian citizen,so I am applying for spousal PR.

I am filling form IMM 0008 under pgp online. I have to change address in contact information that i saved already. But i am unable to edit address anymore as i have to choose different residential address than mailing address. Before i chose residential address same as mailing address. Please help.

[@canadadreamers_]

I think IRCC has disabled the edit mode recently for some of the sections but it could be due to the technical glitch as well. Not sure what to do in this case :(

[@pektoh.181]

Hi Sir, should i put the name of my common law partner in the dependants we have 1 child.

[@ekaterinavasylieva8613]

Hi, can you explain me how to sign and print my name on page 6 IMM 0008? Because Adobe Reader does not allowing it? Thank you

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello thanks for reaching out. You need to save the original pdf to insecure/basic pdf to enable the signature features. I have done that in the video. Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)

[@lokeshwaranmanikandan2770]

for the question "have you taken designated testing agency to assess you english skill?" why are entering no? doesn't ielts comes under this?

[@canadadreamers_]

Thanks for watching the video. No, it's mot mandatory to take IELTS for the applicants under the spousal sponsorship program.

[@sabriinYusufMohamed]

How about if i have my passport only, therefore should i fill the national ID POSITION into my passports info

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello, thanks for watching. I am not sure about this. Generally people from India enter their aadhar card details here. Or Driving Licence or Voter card could be an option too.

[@leahamour]

Hi! What should be the answer to this one? Have you used any other name in the past? I’m married using my husband’s surname in canada docs but still using maiden name now since i’m slowly changing all my id’s

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello, thanks for watching. I think you should mention Yes for this. and mention your maiden name as your past name. and along with that, write an explanation letter to IRCC saying that both are same person, and you have changed your name after marriage. Attach 2 documents minimum to show your old and new name. Plus, you may get the same name affidavit, I am not sure about this. and I think you need to write your name same as passport throughout your visa application to avoid any confusion.

Hi for the “residential address” since I’m living in canada as an international student, should I put my address where I live in the Philippines or should I put my address in Canada?

[@canadadreamers_]

If you are applying for an inland application, I guess your Canadian address should be filled.

[@tarunpreetsingh2332]

What else can I choose for personal identity document, or I may click no does it have any issue. I am already in Canada from last few years.

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello. Personal identity document is your passport. If you are asking for National ID, then it is generally the aadhar card. But if you dont have aadhar card, i think we can give driving license too. But mostly everyone has aadhar card. Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)

[@ederlynpucut1992]

Hello. Just want to clarify about mailing address. It should be sponsor/applicant mailing address?

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello, thanks for watching the video. It should be sponsor Canadian address, because if any correspondence need to be sent by IRCC, they can send easily to a Canadian address. When the spousal application offline, and if IRCC returns any incomplete application, they used to return the application on sponsor's Canadian address. Hope this is clear.

[@harsimranchahat]

Can we use Indian passport as national identity document?

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello, thanks for reaching out. If you do not have the aadhar card, then you might use any other official documentation but you need to provide a proper explanation that why you do not have the aadhar card. If your current aadhar card has wrong name, date of birth or any old address, its better to update the aadhar and use that. Hope this helps. Please like share and subscribe:)

[@pb29aale]

Our adhar card doesn’t have any issue date on it so what should we write there

[@canadadreamers_]

Hello, thanks for watching. In that case, I would write 01/01/(year when it was issued). And explain this in your letter of explanation with scanned copy of aadhar on it. Even my old aadhar (2010) didn't had any dates, but I renewed my aadhar in 2021, so now it has issue date. If you are not okay with it, go to any aadhar center, and apply for a new card. New aadhar would have the issue date. It may take 7 to 10 daya to get new aadhar. But you can ask the person there. Hope this helps. Please like and share this video. And also subscribe to our channel 😊

hi bro great video, just wanna know can i put my indian passport as national id document or any other document other than adhar card?
