Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Intangible]

Thank you for sharing your story!! Would you mind sharing the template of the explanation letter you had your mom sign?

I am also in a similar situation but my mom did get "Legally Separated" back in 1973 and we have the documentation. Apparently in Brazil there is such a thing as being divorced or legally separated though I don't know the ins and outs of it so I am tempted to add a letter like you did.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the late reply. Here is a template. Its a work in progress. But this is the gist of it:

My daughter wishes to sponsor me for permanent residency through this program in 2019. However, my husband is not included in this application for the following reasons.
I was married to XXX on XX-XX-XX. My marriage to him was unsuccessful. A few years into our marriage contact with him progressively decreased culminating in complete lack of contact over 20 years ago.
Due to my cultural and religious beliefs I did not and do not wish to seek divorce. I believe that my situation falls in the category of legal separation for the purpose of this application. Therefore, I have not declared him as a dependant.
I have included an affidavit to declare our long term separation. Kindly regard this as proof of legal separation. I declare by this letter that I agree never to sponsor my husband in the future. I am also willing to sign a solemn declaration for the same if you need me to do so.

I just got off the phone with an agent from cic, and he said the same thing as you. He was firm with saying that my dad should NOT be included as a dependant. And my mom’s marital status have to be legally separated because in the context of ircc guide, "legally separated" means married but are no longer living together. And the answer should be based on the real, ongoing relationship right now, not just because there’s a marriage contract binding. There is no relationship between them anymore therefore she is legally separated and my dad will not be included in the family size. Although he’s still in Additional Fam Info. And yes, the agent said a letter of explanation will suffice. But I will also have my mom get Affidavit to support the explanation, just to be safe.
It all makes sense now. Finally I can breath after being up all night stressing about it. I’m really grateful for all the response here. Thank you sooo much!!

That's great news! Thanks for sharing. And you are welcome

Looking for the answer myself
A explanation letter will lead to more followup questions perhaps. Unvalidated form soumds risky as well. Adive from some senior member or ircc would be helpful.

I do not have the same case
But have read a lot of posts about this.
Just an idea if anyone tried putting 00.00.0000?
Does something like that work and if so ofcourse an explanation has to go with it.
Just sharing an idea, I am not sure about it though.

I had the name issue for the same form, and even though they said leave it unvalidated, that doea not sound right to me either. So I used the same name in both first and last and provided an explanation.
I hope that will work.

Hi,
Anyone sponsoring their parents in India? If their birth certificate is in Hindi, how can we get that translated and certified in India? Through Lawyers?

Thanks.

We are a family of 3 here in Canada and now wanted to sponsor my mother who is widowed. My siblings (outside Canada and my mom lives with one of them) are more than 22 years of age and not dependent on my mother, do I still have to add them as dependents in form.

Any help

Be prepare to submit the death certificate of your father. It may also be asked somewhere down the line of application processing. If you have it, you can submit it upfront. I got this information from a friend who was asked for death cert of his father. He has applied for PR for his mother last year.

I have faint memory that they asked about dependents in eoi form by asking these questions
1. How many members in your family
2. How many you intend to sponsor
Some other sharp members may also confirm this???

Can someone please confirm this?

Additional dependent form - do I need to fill

If you're applying for your mother and father, then there's no need to fill additional form

Does the photocopy requirements need to be certified true copies or just regular photocopies?

If it's in english or french - NO NEED . Ex: Passport
If it's translated --> English/French -----> Should be certified.

Hello guys

In the additional family information ( section c) , I put NONE in the email address as my parent siblings don't have their email address.

is it necessary to attach the explanation letter for not having an email address?

This is normal! Mine also got lots of NONE or N/A. I'm pretty sure this is true for 90% of us. People in 60s rarely have email unless they are university lecturers or professors. Even people in 40s or 50 prefer to use just social media rather than email. They hardly remember their password ).
