FORM IMM5406

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I was wondering if someone here can help me clarify: 

The ADDITIONAL FAMILY INFORMATION, form IMM5406, my husband is the principal applicant, he is required to fill in would fill in section A.
He would write his name as the Applicant. Does he then write my name (the spouse / sponsor) under "spouse or common law partner"? 
The NOTE below section A is sort of confusing as it states "If no spouse or common-law parter is listed in Section A, read and sign below", as well as "I certify that I do not have a spouse or a common-law partner, ex-spouse, or former common-law partner". 

If he writes my name under "Spouse or common-law partner", then he does not sign?? 

Thanks in advance.

	Yes, I believe that is correct. It's what I did (I'm the applicant, US, my husband is my Canadian sponsor). I did not sign that section, since I have a spouse. I believe that section is for people who are being sponsored by someone other than their spouse (if they don't have a partner), and to have one handy sheet with information about the applicant's family.

	From what I understand, that form is meant for all of your family. So he would list his family: parents, spouse/common law partner, children, step-children, adopted children, brother, sister, half brother or sister, etc. So yes, if you are his spouse then he would need to list you there and he would not sign that. To do otherwise would defeat the purpose in my opinion of applying for immigration through spousal sponsorship. If he signed it, he would be lying.
