Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

Another question regarding copies of Canadian birth certificate for co-signer, passports, Notice of assesment, etc, do they need to be notarized?

I need clarification on form IMM 1344 application to sponsor. guide says it needs to be completed by sponsor, co-signer and applicant. Does this mean three copies should be submitted or one copy signed by all? TIA

One copy. There are separate sections on the forms that need to be filled by sponsor, cosigner, and principal applicant.

Is this applicable for people that applied in 2018 and did not get selected or next year's lottery in 2019? If this year, when are they going to select additional 7000 applications?

They've already conducted a lottery round 2 for people who applied in Jan this year and didn't get selected in round 1.

Could anyone please let me know a short cut key dial to get in touch with a rep at IRCC?

Thank you,

When did they do second round? This seems to be recent development in August.

On July 31 2018, we started inviting a second round of potential sponsors to submit a complete application. The selected confirmation numbers are available below.

It needs to be completed only once - and this actually means that this form will contains SPONSOR, CO-SIGNER and APPLICANT details.
Hope this helps!

In Form IMM5768E, on page 3, they have asked for family size where we have to enter employment history. Could you please tell me in this do we need to include

Number of sponsored persons+ current family members?
