I also received a friendly reminder today. This forum can not be a very reliable indicator of the number of applications submitted, but I noticed that 2018 tracker is shorter than 2017 (and there are only some days left before the deadline), and 2017 tracker is significantly shorter than 2016. So may be the number of selected and most important eligible applicants is indeed less than expected 10 000?

Hello All,

First, so glad to found this community and willingness to help newbies like myself. So, big thank you :)

I have received an invite to apply for my parents sponsorship. However, I have a question/confusion on the Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship form (IMM 5768) on Question 14 & 17.

My current situation is as follow...
me and my wife(co-signer) have 2 source of income.
Me
1) T4 (day job)
2) Self-employed (small gigs here and there)

Wife
1) T4/T4a
2) Self-employed (healthcare provider)

My question is for the self-employed income.
+ Do we write Gross business Income or we write Net self-employed / business income (Gross income (I believe it's line #164/162 ) - business expenses = Net business income (line # 137/135) . And the total of Line 101 and Line 135 = line # 150 (on the NOA).

I have filled up the form. with best of my ability. And I have used amount from line 137/135 (net business income). Please find image here https://goo.gl/H3HWsw



Thank you so very much in advance :)

If your wifes business is incorporated then she cannot claim the entire business net income as regular income unless she draws salary from it, however it seems like it is sole proprietor which will flow through to line 150 on her NOA. Hope this helps

Hi,
If you are applying for the first time then pick first option "Withdraw your sponsorship application. All processing fees less $75 will be refunded."
You can also refer to the Guide about who will use the 2nd option, see the note below from guide:
Note: Check “proceed with the application for permanent residence” if you submit an undertaking of assistance to support the permanent residence application of a family member or close relative on Humanitarian and compassionate considerations


2.
If she is not dependent and married then probably you don't have to but if she is unmarried staying with your parents then she will be considered as dependent. Probably you can share bit more info about her and then other forum members can provide their feedback about this.

Thanks,
Thanks for your reply.
My sister is older than 22 years old and she is financially dependent on my parents, but I know that she is not considered a dependent family member. So is there any specific form that needs to be filled out? Thanks in advance for any comment.

Or just my father will be filling this form?
Only your father will be filling onenform.

If you dont have any dependents then you dont need to fill up this form.
6. IMM5669

2 forms need to be filled by father and mother individually.
7.IMM5406

Both forms need to be filled by mom and dad individually.

I sent in my application and it was supposed to be delivered today. It is stuck in Mississauga. I had similar issue in past that an item was stuck in Mississauga for a month or more. I sent it via Xpresspost. Any suggestions what to do? Should I send another application by Priority now?

Hey Guys, my package is almost ready and I want to send it with the right courier/provider. I heard from some of folks on the forum that they have had challenges with mailing their packages. Should I also ask for signature?

I sent it via Xpresspost (canada post). it requires signature as well. If you send it in the morning it will be delivered by the next business day.
Just make sure you write the correct complete address.
