Applying to sponsor my parent who is in Canada visiting, a few questions regarding the IMM 008 FORM

- Current Country of Residence: My mom is in Canada visiting with a Visitor Visa (not super visa, just multiple entry visa), while I'm applying to sponsor her, should I enter Canada as her current country of residence or should I enter her home country?

- Previous Countries of Residence: By the time when I plan to send her application in May 2019 my mom will not have been in Canada for more than 6 months, but she will still be here, she will be in Canada for more 6 months after probably application is received. Should I enter Canada then as one of the previous countries of residence

- I am acting as her Representative, her son: I'm entering the mailing address my Canada address. What Residential Address should I enter for her? Her home country address or the same as my address given she is in Canada as visitor?

Thank you

If she is currently residing in Canada and will continue to remain here during the application process, then Canada sounds like her current country of residence.

No, not if Canada is her current country of residence.

I'm confused, are you her representative, or her sponsor?

If she is living in Canada at your address, then that would be her residential address, right?

Both, her sponsor and representative
