Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Garry2008]

Hi, My parents are in India right now but coming to canada (have supervisa) for an extended stay (likely more than 12 months )on June 10th. I am really confused if I should apply now and pay biometrics fee because then they will probably have to go to home country for biometrics on an urgent basis in the next 2-3 months or should I wait and apply after they come here on June 10th as then they will not need biometrics as they will then be present in Canada while applying? Another question if I apply after they arrive do I pay biometric fees or not? Will highly appreciate any feedback. Thanks a lot !

I will suggest to apply when they are in Canada. So they won't need to go for biomatric. And other reason is you can get their signatures on forms. Ask them to bring everything with them such as Marriage certificate Copies and any other required document for application. You don't need to pay biomatric fee if they are in Canada legally.

If you are applying as a member of the family class and are legally in Canada when you apply, you are currently exempt from giving biometrics. Your accompanying overseas dependents may need to give their biometrics.

Hello All

I have this question. On background Declaration form (5669e) - Section 10 (Addresses)
Do we need to mentioned all addresses where my parents lived / stayed for last 10 years ?

Is there any minimum # of days requirement in order to provide that address (like 6 months or more) ?

Generally, I would write the addresses where your parents maintained primary residence. Not where they lived temporarily for some time.

Hello Everyone,

I received an invitation to sponsor my parents. My Query is I recently became a Canadian citizen and all my education degrees and Passport name have different father and mother name spellings as compared to their actual passports.

I have submitted the sponsorship based on their passport name only and even they already have visitor visa also with their same passport name but doesn't match with my passport parent name.

Now while applying for their application , How I am suppose to prove that these are one and the same name and no other person ? Do I need a lawyer or what will be the best way to proceed . Please suggest . thanks

Hi Did you get an answer to this, I am in same situation and any guidance will be recommended.

Just normal copies for all documents which are in English. Certified translation for any document which is not in English.

The exact questions are these and they generally expect things to match or to be explained

Thanks for this made me feel good. I thought the question was about the family size including the parents.

Is it possible to view the information we entered in the interest to sponsor form ?

 

[vikram2717]

Actually, the form doesn't take non ASCII characters. So, I attached an additional sheet listing all the names in English and respective names in Tamil (my native language).

Thanks

Also my Mother signature is in local indian language. Do we need translation document for signature

I dont think so translation required for sign as sign can be in any language

 

[Chiargpatel2810]

Thank you for your quick response. My Mother does not have marriage certificate. Is there any alternate( my father expired). Please suggest

Add death cirty of your father

Hi to all. I am facing a problem with imm 1344. I fill it validate it , the message pop up that successfully validated and now you may print it. Instead of printing it I save it because I don't have printer at home. When I again open the file a message pops up that there is error. "The cosponsor country code can not be 11" second pop up " cosponsor alternate number can not have country code 11"
Very puzzling because I select phone number canada/US. Does any one has experienced this issue and found solution. Or after filling we have to immediately print it ?? Other wise validation is lost??

Please can any comment on this
