PLEASE HELP!!
My Mom sent me her papers already but my sister's Birth certificate is in Punjabi and she only sent the original translated & notarized copy of BC but didn’t sent my sister’s birth certificate photocopy that is notarized.
My questions are-
1 Do I need to get Punjabi(Non - English) BC photocopy Notarized?
2 If Yes to the above question, Can my Mom scan it from india and I print it and use it or does CIC need original photocopy of BC that is notarized?

Could you PLEASE HELP ME ASAP as I have to tell my Mom to do accordingly and it takes time to get speed post.

Thanks a lot in advance
1. I think YES. But not sure. Someone in this forum might assure you that.
2. U can get the photocopy notarized anywhere. But the lawyer might ask the original to sign the photocopy. If you find a notary that is flexible, then it's good.

Anyone know if I can send scanned copies of the signature pages for the forms?
I talked to someone from CIC call centre and they said I need the original pages with the signatures
Yes. That's correct. You need to get the signature on the same form that you are going to send it to IRCC. So, best way is to use courier even if it costs much.

Also my Mother signature is in local indian language. Do we need translation document for signature
Nope. I sign in my mother tongue. My Canadian license, band documents, everything is in my mother tongue signature.
In fact, Signature doesn't know language. You can even use graphics as your sign.

I am not sure about gross income, benefits for the period question in imm5768 form.

How am I supposed to type employment periods and incomes if my employment falls into another tax year? Also with the current employment( I have T4/NOA from 2018, but I am also still employed here and I can also write income to date from paystub, so basically two gross incomes for one period on the paper,)

Let's say I have employment from Aug 2017 to Aug 2018. Am I supposed to calculate income of 2017 (5 months) and income of 2018 (8 months) for that same employer and add it as a total gross income/benefits for the period?
Or I should copy paste dates/employer info in a new field and type income from previous year, then they can calculate/check NOA?
Application guide doesn't explain quite well.
I have the exact same question in mind.....can anybody please help.

The intention was to help the admin, nothing else. So, the admin can insert the data once not twice. Also there is no such column called "Will Receive". By the way the application was received by Ottawa office this Morning.
Well you can post your timeline when they already received it though
Like some people did, they share their timeline when it is already accomplished.

1) IMM 5768- Financial Evaluation, Question #14 - employment history for the last THREE taxation years (2016, 2017 and 2018) when filling out the form it states From to Present, I do have my T4 for 2018 should I just include that OR should I include up to my last paystub (2019) ?
2) IMM 5768- Financial Evaluation, Question #14- Family size- I am the sole sponsor (single) of my grandma, do I state 1 (myself) or (2 my grandma and myself).
1. Everyone has different answers to it. There's no one signle answer. You decide which one makes more sense and write it. In one of the tweets, IRCC said
"2/2 Note: Please list your total gross income for the entire employment period, not just your annual income. Hope this helps."
I did something like this.
2019-01-01 to present - sum of all pasy stubs to date.
2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31 - Line 150 on NOA 2018
2017-01-01 to 2017-12-31 - Line 150 on NOA 2017
2016-01-01 to 2016-12-31 - Line 150 on NOA 2016
2. The family size is 2 (assuming u don't have any other family member, e.g your spouse and your grandmother doesn't anybody e.g her spouse)

I started contacting the number at 8 AM EST today. Kept trying for like 20 times and finally got an agent at 9 AM.
You will need to validate the form as its mentioned in the checklist. Put the 1900/01/01. Then you can do what am I am planning to do.
Thank you for sharing it.

Hello All

I have this question. On background Declaration form (5669e) - Section 10 (Addresses)
Do we need to mentioned all addresses where my parents lived / stayed for last 10 years ?

Is there any minimum # of days requirement in order to provide that address (like 6 months or more) ?

Better to report your income year-wise.
In the case above
2017-08-01 to 2017-12-31 Company ABC Gross Income $XXXXX (Check your T4 for the year of 2017)
2018-01-01 to 2018-08-30 Company ABC Gross Income $XXXXX (Check your T4 for the year of 2018)
2018-09-01 to 2018-12-31 Company DEF Gross Income $XXXXX (Check your T4 for the year of 2018)
2019-01-01 to Present Company DEF Gross Income $XXXXX (Check your pay stub for YTD gross salary)

All previous T4s are available at CRA My account if you have already registered for that.

Hope this helps.
