I have a confusion on the biometrics.

So my parents are here with me in Canada right now, but there is no biometrics collection center Canada. Does that mean that they have to go back to China to get this done?

However, I did find this on the CIC help page (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=717&top=19) where it says
"If you apply to extend your stay, your study permit or work permit or apply for permanent residence
You don’t have to give your biometrics until we open biometrics collection centres in Canada in 2019. When the new centres open, you’ll need to give biometrics for your next application, including a renewal or an extension."​
If this is true, where on the application documents it indicates whether my parents are currently in Canada? I need to put the residential address of my parents in Canada? And do I submit the biometrics fee when submitting the application?
Use this status tool to check if their biometrics is still valid.

1) fill only one parent file and if possible provide them divorce document. If they dont need it , they will throw it out or if they need it they will keep in a file.
2) make them flexible to easily access your tax info
3) i am not sure about this yet
thank you, on job history for the family size, should it include or exclude the person im sponsoring?

Please share some ideas on format to correct family unit size mistake explanation while submitting application
dont think it matters what you submitted in the EOI form - the application is the real deal. Make sure this is correctly filled as the financial calculation is done based on what you complete in the application. This is the legal document.

Hi All,
For those who are filling out your forms, in the Financial evaluation - imm5768e form, for question#14, should the sponsor and co-sponsor family size be the same and should this match Q#7 in the same form?

Q14. Family size for spouse is same as sponsor family size in the employment history - sponsor and co-sponsor table? Would it be double counted?

Good question, I am interested in knowing about the same - should it match total family size as in Q#7 (which also includes principal applicant and other dependents that are being sponsored) or should they be excluded in family size. The instructions really don't provide guidance on how to complete family size in this table.

In the form its written as (employment history-sponsor)
then it may be only sponsor

I am struggling with IMM 5768e in Q#4.

I am sponsoring my father and mother and my spouse is a co-signer and in another application my spouse is sponsoring her father and mother and I am co-signer. So technically its a family of 6 people.

I have entered -
2A - 1
3A - 2
3B (iv) 2

So, in Q#4 it talks about spouse being a co-signer, but I have no option to add my wife in this calculation and make the total number of family member as 6.

Please help.

What if my family count changes by giving birth to new baby between 28 Jan 2019 and 24 April 2019.
Or literally before I Apply.
Would that risk the chances of getting the application rejected ?
Coz when I filled the PGP expression of interest form online back in Jan 2019 my family count was 3.
Now with addition of the new born last week my family count became 4. Would this lead my application to be rejected???

Note: I don’t have any issue of fulfilling Minimum required income for last 3 years.
As It is well enough to support a family size of 5.
