Spousal sponsorship

[vinay16]

1. If your country specific checklist says to include it then you should.
2. Not for yourself.
3. Only for applicant not sponsor.

thanks for quick reply.

In that travel history form, there's b section. that says info for spouse of primary applicant - shouldn't I fill that ?

These forms are generic for all streams of immigration, so they are not referring to Canadian spousal sponsors, they are referring to spouses of applicants applying through another stream (parent, skilled worker, EE, etc). IRCC already have travel history of Citizens / PR. So it applies to the applicant and any dependents included in the app but not you.

Regarding form 5476 - use of representative (I'm sponsor & representative) - section - d -- there are 2 signatures.. 1. signature of applicant 2. Signature of spouse -- for first one, it will be signature of my spouse and second one, it will be my signature.. Is that correct ?

But when I did it, I put my travel info down. Just in case.(I am the sponsor). I think there is nothing wrong with filling it out either. Just to be safe.

Yes. I think some people say not required but I did it in case. Better to have signature than to not.

Is there any difference between PR/Citizen sponsor ? Like Citizens get the things quickly or something ?

Don't really think so about that, but if that's true, I hope someone can provide you an accurate answer.

The only difference I do know is that a citizen can apply as a sponsor for his/her spouse either residing within or outside Canada whereas a PR can only sponsor a spouse living within Canada.

In short a citizen can sponsor if physically present in canada or not but PR can only sponsor when physically present in Canada.
