Background Declaration Imm 0008
Can anyone help with who exactly has to fill in this form? I am sponsoring my husband and I am just wondering if I also need to fill in a background declaration? It states that the principle applicant and spouse (if applicable) fill it in, if I am the sponsor do I still need to fill it in?

Re: Background Declaration Imm 0008
Are you a Canadain citizen? or are you applying as a SW and bringing your husband? If you are a citizen sponsoring, I'm 99.9% sure you don't need to fill in the form, just your husband need fill out the form.
If you were applying as SW and bringing your husband as well, then you would be the principal applicant and your husband would be the accompaning spouse, and you would both fill in the form.
However, I believe you are a Canadian citizen sponsoring your spouse and therefore he would be the principal applicant and you would be the sponsor and only he need fill in the form
I hope an expert will confirm this to be true.

How did you guys remember street names and numbers of the places you have lived since you were 18 years old?
I am having hard time finding exact addresses I have lived since I was 18 years old. I know the cities, states, and countries, but not street addresses.
Any ideas?

However, the best source of information was copies of my tax returns...hopefully you have those or could get them from the taxing authority where you filed. They will have your address at the time you filed your taxes, at least.
