Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[Another-Immigrant]

Hello Everyone,

I want to ask about form 0008.
I am sponsoring my parents and have one sister older than 22 years Old.
In the form shall i include her as dependent ? As the form says "you should include all of your family members even if they are not accompanying you to Canada ".

But then in the box no. 3 of 0008 , How many family member including you in this application will be then 3 (DAD, MOM AND SIS) which will not satisfy my income requirement as in FORM 5768 Financial Evaluation , under current undertaking i have to mention what i have written in Box 3 of 0008. which will make my LICO requirement against 4 (3+including me).

Please help if i should include my sister in 0008 form Dependent information.

The child over age of 22 is not a dependent child, until unless financially dependent because of physical of mental health. Please check the following links on CIC web site for more understanding

From PGP Sponsorship guide

========================
Dependent children

Your child or the child of your spouse or common-law partner can be considered a dependent child if that child meets the requirements below on the day we receive your complete application:

• They’re under 22 years old, and
• They don’t have a spouse or common-law partner

Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependants if they meet both of these requirements:

• They have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22, and
• They are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition

Dependants must continue to meet these requirements until they enter Canada.

Not sure which type of dependant your child is? Check if your child qualifies as a dependant by answering a few questions.
===================

So your sister is not dependent and should not be included in the application


In come cases there can be a dependent (Under age of 22) , and that dependent, for some reason do not want to immigrant to Canada. That is what they are asking you to include.

Hope this would help. I am helping from my understanding , I am not a consultant or such . So pleas double check always what you are going to do.

Good luck

You need to use 8 for your family size for all years.

I am afraid that you don't meet LICO then...

Thanks

Looking at the excel sheet mostly people have got PPR request within 1 or 2 days from the date when application status changed to decision made.

I am not 100% sure, but I could have done the following if I am you.

1. Contact a notray/lawyer in Canada to have an alternative that have CIC can accept. I know, lawyer may have charge you 400$ at first meeting.But notary may be cost you less.
2. If lawyer is expensive, go to Notary and ask for draft of a self declaration letter, that explain from your parents side, that, they were married since ...date.... and now divorce since .....date . Send that draft to your parents back and get a notary attested. Send that letter to CIC with explaination letter as well. lIke you are not able to produce divorce because, authority did not provide such etc..
3. The above may be sufficient. If possible, apart from above document, contact, City or village Councillor/Sarpanch of community back home, where your parents lived. Ask Councillor/Sarpanch to attest such declaration signed by your divorced parents as well and send to CIC..
4. CIC understand this , that it is not your fault. But at least submit something

Hope this would help

Thanks so much. I got a lawyer to Notarized the letter. Really appreciate your advice.

Did you read the application guide? In part 1 of how to calculate your family size, there is no mentioning of different family size of different year. You calculate it when you fill-in and sign your application forms. And that's the family size. (which is Sept 2018 according to your timeline). So if your child is born when you submit and sign your applications, you have to count him in as dependent child

How to calculate the family size?
The size of the family determines the amount of income you need to make to sponsor. Use this table below to assist you in calculating the size of your family:

1. Count:
   
   • yourself,
   • your spouse or common-law partner and
   • dependent children, if applicable. See the “Definition of dependent child (types 1 and 2)”
   Note: Children who meet the definition of a dependent child must be included in the calculation, even if you as a sponsor do not have custody nor provide child support.

Hi All,

If We (Sponsors) are expecting a child, when do we need to inform IRCC? After the child is born or right after we know that it has been conceived?

Hi

Do you get PPR request(separate emails) for main applicant and dependent? I just got one email for my father but not mother. I wonder i should just send both the passports or wait for another email(PPR) for mother.
