    Posted: 23 Nov 2012 at 10:32pm
Hi I have a few questions for spousal sponsorship. I will be applying very soon for my wife from New Delhi.

My wife lives with her Parents, Brother and Sister-In-law.

1. Do all of them (parents, brother and sister-in-law have to fill IMM5669 (Background Declaration), IMM5406E(Additional Family Information) and Details of foreign travels. or is it just me and her

2. Second issue is that my wife doesn't have a last name on the passport(no maiden name only her first name). Although she will be taking my last name, but getting a new passport with my last name will take about a month.I dont want to wait a month to file her papers, so i was wondering if I should  just put in a letter stating the fact that she has applied for a spouse name addition on the passport and use my last name on the forms

Will really appreciate the help.

Thanks

Yes they have to fill out the additional info form. Now regarding the passport issue you have to choose between being patient or rushing out the fill the application. You know for sure that CIC will not accept a passport bearing only the first name without the last name. Therefore, if you send the application and they return the package to you it gonna cause you time, money and even delay the processing time. In my opinion just be patient and let her get a new passport with her first and last name then you apply and there is no problem. Good luck..!

Only the person you are sponsoring needs to complete the IMM5669 and IMM5406 form.  The sponsor does not fill them out, the applicant's family does not fill them out - unless they are also being sponsored.  This would be the case for an applicant with adult (18+) dependent children.

Use her name on her passport on the forms as well.  List her married name as an alias.  If you want to complete the forms using her married name, you must wait until you have a passport with her married name on it.

NDVO will request her passport at the beginning of processing anyway (this is their unique process, as no other VO asks for the passport at the beginning of application processing).  By that time you'll have her updated passport and can send it along.
FSW applied 6/09, denied (med inadmissible) 12/11. JR leave granted 7/12, discontinued 9/12. Spousal app PPR 9/12. Landed 13 October 2012

CIC does accept passports/applications with a single name. They will use it as the surname. Indonesians, Tibetans and other people do only have one name. Sikhs use Kaur and Singh, and CIC will accept that as a surname.
