[Vats]

do we need to submit all pages of passport? for parents and applicant both?
my income is sufficient to meet minimum requirement than do I need to show my wife as a cosigner?

If your wife is willing to co-sign would do it because in this economy a job loss is possible and you must maintain LICO.

You cannot sponsor a step parent unless she officially adopted you. Sorry for your lost.

Sorry for your loss. Because she is not a blood relative she cannot be principal applicant and cannot be sponsored by you. If she adopted you then she can so include adoption papers.

What people fail to understand with stepparents is that they are not actually being sponsored they are considered the dependent of the biological parent. If the biological parent passes that is why they no longer qualify for PGP unless they have already adopted you. They would not qualify for a supervisa for the same reason

Hello Everyone,

My parents don't have a marriage certificate, however they have their spouse's name on each other's passports and other government-issued documents. How to proceed with this?
Also, my father passed away in 2018, and I do have a Death Certificate.

Do I still require a marriage certificate?

Hi Experts, looking for advise , my mom is PGP applicant, is it mandatory to upload education certificates into pgp-pr application. I am not seeing the education certificates in document checklist. My mom lost her original education certificates 10 years back, didn't try to get those certificates again as she is retired. Can she submit her application without education certificates? Without education cert will the application be rejected ?

I need some help here pls!!! Just received a letter of invitation for PGP yesterday (Aug 22, 2025) which was dated August 8, 2025 and mentioned that October 9 is the expiry date of the invitation. I am now having so much stress as I am trying to accomplish all the requirements from zero. I am trying to sponsor my Mom age 82. Some questions I have are as follows:
1. We are a family of 4 with 2 adult kids ages 22 & 25. Am I supposed to include my kids in the size of the family + the applicant? So 5 altogether? How about my siblings who are not coming to Canada, are they to included too?

It is you, spouse, 22 year old and parent so 4. 25 year old may be included for the 3rd year for LICO so 2022. If mother is married then include spouse.
