Form IMM 5406. Additional Family Information
The IMM 5406 Additional Family Information form is used by individuals who are applying for permanent residency or citizenship in Canada. The main purpose of this form is to provide additional information about the applicant's family members who are not included in their initial application.
The form consists of several parts including personal information, family information, employment and education history, and travel history. Some important fields to consider when compiling the form include the applicant's full name, date of birth, and country of citizenship. The applicant is also required to provide information about their current and former spouse or common-law partner, as well as their dependent children.
Both parties involved in this form are the applicant and the Canadian government. The Canadian government is responsible for processing the application and making the final decision on whether to grant the applicant permanent residency or citizenship. The applicant is responsible for providing accurate and up-to-date information about themselves and their family members.
When compiling the form, applicants will need to have information about their family members including their full name, date of birth, relationship to the applicant, and current immigration status. Documents that must be attached to the form may include marriage certificates, divorce certificates, or birth certificates.
One example of an application is when an individual is applying for permanent residency in Canada and their spouse or child was not included in their initial application. In this case, the applicant would complete the IMM 5406 form and attach the necessary documents to provide additional information about their family members.
The benefits of completing this form include providing the Canadian government with more information about the applicant's family, which can lead to a quicker processing time. However, the challenges and risks associated with the form include the possibility of providing inaccurate information, which could lead to delays or complications in processing the application.
Alternative forms or analogues include the IMM 0008 Generic Application Form for Canada and the IMM 5669 Schedule A Background/Declaration form. The main difference between these forms is that the IMM 5406 specifically provides additional information about the applicant's family members.
The successful completion of the IMM 5406 form can affect the future of the participants by allowing their family members to be included in their application for permanent residency or citizenship. The form can be submitted online or by mail, and once received, the form and accompanying documents are stored in the Canadian government's database for processing and retrieval in the future.
