How come you can track your application?
Did they give you a UCI number?
Or are you using the same number as your spouse in Canada?
I applied for TRV before and I got UCI number at that time ,it’s same one because you got only one UCI number. If the PR application was your first I guess you have to wait until they send email and the application number will be mentioned in this email.

My dad has his application number and UCI as well even though he is still outside of Canada & never been issued a letter from IRCC. HOW?

I will explain it to you & you might wanna do it. I called IRCC from here (Canada) and had my dad on over another phone, I had my dad speak to the agent to give me authorization (permission) to speak to the agent myself. So he did. Then I asked the agent for my dad’s application number & UCI and made sure that I write them down to check every once in a while. That was like 8-10 months ago. Today I can still check my dad’s application status because I wrote it down.

You might want to do what I did, good luck :)

I’m just wondering about IMM5490 Form, it’s asking all about the relationship between the sponsored person & their sponsor to prove that their relationship is genuine.

How does that apply for my mom (the main applicant in Canada) and my father’s situation (outside of Canada) if they were married in 1985. The form is asking too many details (photos, first meeting, first gifts etc..). How will my father respond to those questions if they happened 34 years ago? They don’t remember most of the answers on the form.

Any advice?

I think VO not asking everyone for this form. Maybe in your father case no need for such proof.

You didn’t mention adopted children while listing your dependents. It would not be possible after the fact. Are they adopted legally? Are their parents deceased? There are quite strict definitions of what Canada considers as adopted children.

That is not considered adoption by Canadian standards. The fact that their father is alive is the big problem. Adopting of family members like nieces and nephews is common in other countries but it won’t work in Canada unless you have concrete proof that both parents are deceased especially since is a kinship adoption. Many would try to bring the children of other relatives if they could just sign a paper. You can provide financial backing to them if they would like to study in Canada especially for their university education. You would have to have quite a lot of savings to provide financial support to both of them as international students if you have your own children plus have your own expenses and must also think about your retirement savings.
