What is the IMM5707 form used for?
The IMM5707 form, also known as the Additional Family Information form, is used by individuals applying for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to Canada. It collects essential information about the applicant's family members, including spouses, children, and parents. This information helps immigration officials assess the application and verify family details.
Who needs to complete the IMM5707 form?
The form must be completed by anyone who is 18 years or older. Additionally, minors traveling alone must also fill out this form. It is specifically for passport holders from certain countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Malaysia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. If your passport is not from one of these countries, you will need to use the Additional Family Information (IMM 5645) instead.
What information is required in Section A?
In Section A, you need to provide personal details for yourself, your spouse or common-law partner (if applicable), and your parents. This includes full names, dates of birth, countries of birth, current addresses, and occupations. You must also indicate whether each person will accompany you to Canada. If someone is deceased, provide their city/town, country, and date of death.
What should I do if I do not have a spouse or children?
If you do not have a spouse or common-law partner, you must read the declaration in Note 1 and sign it. Similarly, if you do not have any children, you should read the declaration in Note 2 and sign it as well. This confirms that you are providing accurate information regarding your family status.
How do I complete Section B for my children?
In Section B, list all your children, including adopted and step-children, regardless of their age or where they live. You will need to provide their full names, dates of birth, countries of birth, marital statuses, current addresses, and occupations. Indicate whether they will accompany you to Canada by checking 'Yes' or 'No'. It's crucial to include every child, even those who are permanent residents or citizens of Canada.
What happens if I don’t sign the form?
Failure to sign the IMM5707 form will result in your application being returned. Your signature is essential as it certifies that you understand the questions and that the information you provided is complete and accurate. Always ensure that you sign and date the form before submission.
