Hi Vina Volla,

I just divided yearly and use the income from T4 specific for that year and for the family size I put the number from our family size depend on that year.
But I am not sure it is correct

Thanks
Hi Mimimo,

I wrote the income for each year according to the taxable income of the option C for each year, for family size I have read different things so far, I am thinking to write 6 for all of them I feel it is safer to write the bigger number unless some body who has experience advises us differently. I would appreciate if somebody who had sponsored their parents successfully or know somebody who had done so helps us in this matter :)

HI

I am sponsoring my mother. My father does not want to come and he is earning in India.

My question is do we need to Add him as dependent on IMM0008 form. My understanding is we don't have to add him as dependent.

As I am sponsoring my mother only. I don't think I have to provide any document from my father for example IMM5669, IMM5406. He should be added on additional family information form IMM5406 only.


Thanks.

It doesn't matter if he isn't coming. He must still be included as a non-accompanying dependent, undergo a medical, obtain PCCs and submit all forms/documents.

He must also be included in the family size for LICO.

The only way he could be left off the app is if they were divorced.

Hi Mimimo see my reply

Hi All,
Need your help
My husband is my co-signer

In Financial Evaluation For Parents and Grandparents Sponsership

2. You. 1
3. Current undertaking ( Father and Mother) 2
4. Complete this section only if your spouse or common-law partner is co-signing the undertaking. (This part just for previous undertaking?) 0
5. Your spouse or common-law partner, if not included in 3 above. (My husband) 1
6. Every other family member. (My son) 1
when I'm printing this page and also in PDF I can't see my number on question 6 please help !!!!!!! but, the total shows me 5

Ans : That's because there is some problem in the Adobe Form. Many of used PDF editor software to edit the form to fill it.

You can do that or you can also print the form and fill the numbers by writing it. It will be fine.

Question 9-11 N/A
on question
12.just I have to put my son name and family and date of birth???

Ans: Yes. Correct


14. I just divided yearly, because I put my gross income for each year But i was in maternity leave form October 2014 till October 2015 when I'm filling this section
Should I mention that? If I mention how can I divide my gross income???? And what is my family size ? It depends to each year or for all 3 years should use 5 !!!!


Ans: I believe you would have claimed your EI during maternity leaves. Not sure how would you claim that to be eligible.

Much appreciate for your help

Hi VinaVolla, I believe you mean family size.

You should mention the size of family you were living with at that time every year. Like I had a baby in 2016 so my family size increased by 1 in 2016. Earlier it was 3 , in 2016 its 4.

Hi Javiya,
I almost completed the forms, in the form for financial evaluation of the sponsor (IMM5768E), in the table which is asking for income of last three years should I write 6 for each year or it depends who I was leaving with or sponsoring at that specific time?

Thanks a lot :)

Hi

I am agree with u that baby u have will include in your family size only in the year of baby birth .

But how about parents to whom we are sponsoring we are sponsor . We have to consider parents as a part of family member in family size although they will join u 1 year later for example 2018 may be , but include them in 2014,2015,2016

Hi Deep,

Couple of points.

Based on the definition of CIC, your present family does not include your Parents because you have not yet sponsored them.

Secondly, you are indicating the family size with respect to the tax year. Which means you count only present members dependent on you and consigner during that tax year. Since the parents are not yet sponsored, they shouldn't be counted.

For IRCC, your dependents during that tax years and already sponsored person only matters. They want to assess your income Vs your present dependents.

I agree if he is dependent. In my case he is not dependent on principal application. I understand it this way. Any suggestions?
