https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ication/application-forms-guides/imm5476.html
this instructions link clearly states EITHER OPTION IS ACCEPTABLE
The form is signed by the applicant and representative submitted through a portal or secure account
Hand signature (also called a wet signature): Print and sign the form by hand.

E-Signature: Any type of insert on PDF forms:

• Typed name
• Adobe’s Fill & Sign or DocuSign (or other 3rd party app/software)
• Scan or an image of a signature
• Check box as indicated

Thumbprint: acceptable if a person is illiterate or cannot make a mark (e.g., an X) for a physical reason.

I printed the form, signed, scanned and uploaded twice and it still says not meet the requirements for signature, which confused me

Hello. After the application of parent sponsorship was sent in 2020, my family income dropped from the minimum required for a family of 4 to half the required for a family of 5 (we welcomed a new baby). The immigration officer asked about our family income in the last 3 years which was below the minimum (mainly due to COVID). Does that mean that the application will be rejected. Is there anything that we can do to increase our chances ?

Me too.

After submission are you able to go back and view the submitted application? The button is greyed out for me.

You know this will happened when you submit it in 2020. They always asked about family income for the last 3 years. Why didn't you keep your income level above the minimum? When you got pregnant, why not get a second job or additional investment income to earn more money? There is a lot of planning.

Did CIC ask you to submit additional documents to support your income recently after you submitted this year? Chances are low if you could not meet the minimum income requirements. Any other unclaimed income? Even from overseas?

Love that you are essentially asking if they committed tax fraud.

You need to show the last 3 years, so 2022, 2023 and 2024. I hope your income was higher for these years as COVID was 5 years ago.
You also mentioned the immigration officer asked about your income? I don't think they are reviewing the applications just yet.
