Hi, I have some questions and have tried to organize it by form and would appreciate your help:
I am applying for my both my parents and have one sister who is married.
On the forms I noticed it greys out an area if you select “yes” to your mailing address being the same residential etc. What about fax number etc and other items such as
dont write anything if you dont have a fax number
- I do not have a spouse or common law partner so on form IMM5768E should I put N/A every time it asks for their information?
Should we put N/A on all blank spaces?
N/A is fine
IMM 1344 Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking: I will fill this form and my father as he is the principal applicant. My mother does not need to fill in this form correct?
correct, its signed by you and your dad since you are the sponsor
IMM 0008 Generic Application Form for Canada:
Application Details:
3. Since this is my dad (the principal applicant) filling this form he should write 2 (him and my mom). The application guide says “Indicate the total number of family members included in your application. This includes yourself and any family members, regardless of whether they intend to accompany you to Canada or not.”
My sister who is married is not accompanying them so writing 2 is correct?
2 people, read the definition of the family members: children under 19, your sister is older, not a dependant
Personal Details:
3. UCI – My parents applied for supervise and received it recently but they will not come to Canada until after the deadline to submit. Should we put that # in this file?
UCI field is not mandatory, so i just left it blank
Contact Information:
1. Mailing address – can I put this as my address?
The form 0008 is supposed to be filled by your dad, I understand you are helping with application, but I would assume that the officer will expect your dad's mailing address be the same as his residential address, or at least in the same country
2. Residential address – since they will be coming to Canada should I put their address back home or the Canadian address?
hmmmm, are they planning to move to Canada forever? Supervisa allows them to do so, I am just trying to understand whats the case for you
3. Fax no: they do not have a fax should we put N/A or leave it blank?
Education/Occupation Detail:
NA works fine
1. Intended occupation: what should we put here? My father is self employed back home and mom stays at home.
For dependants I only add my mother and not my sister as she is married? It is confusing as it says include all family members.
Occupation - whatever they are planning to do, retired and stay at home grandma works just fine. Family members - see before - your sister is not a dependent
IMM 0008DEP Additional Dependants/Declaration:
Should we still attach this form and put N/A as the only dependant is my mom and she is part of the generic application?
no need to submit 0008DEP
IMM5768E Financial Evaluation:
7. I put 3 as this is me and my parents. Is this correct?
yes
8. MIN - $47,051? Is this correct?
for 2014 - yes
15. Family Size – do I put 1 or 3(me and my parents) for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014?
3
15. I switched locations but my job is with the same company. Should I split the year into two locations/same company as they have different addresses and phone numbers?
good question, not sure... I would look at your T4s from that year and see how the income was split in there, considering you'll be using Option C printouts as a proof
IMM 5669 Schedule A – Background/Declaration:
4. We do not have the DOB of my father’s mom or dad and they are both deceased. How do we fill this section out?
don't know for sure... I would put the best guess and provide a note that this info is to the best of my knowledge blah blah
IMM 5406 Additional Family Information
It says on the top of the form “Complete ALL names in English and in your native language”. On the Background/Declaration form there is a separate spot for this but on this form it only has the box for name? Should we put the name as it is on the passport and leave some space and put it in the native language? Also is this everyone’s name including children, parents, siblings etc?
yes, all names for everyone. It allows you to add a second line in the field, if you run out of space add a separate page
My father’s mom and dad are deceased; what should we put under DOB/Place and Martial status?
DOB/place is still a valid field, put marital status as at the time of death (married, widowed etc) and in the Present address field put deceased
The guide says to put Martial status as “Married – Physically Present” but the form won’t let me type the whole thing? Please advise? Can I fill this later after I print the application?
IMM 5409 Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union:
Should I attach this form even though I do not have a common-law union and put N/A in the form?
why would you?
IMM 5476 Use of a Representative:
Should I fill this form in as I am helping my parents in completing the application?
I wouldn't, but its up to you
Once again thanks for your help regarding these questions. Good luck to everyone.
I hope this helps, I am not in any way the expert, but I've read this forum back and forth now, and this is the combination of the advises I've found that helped me. Kind regards, OrangeCup
