Does IRCC accept scanned application or do i have to mail in orginal signed application. i was think to have parents email me their signed completed application.
yes they accept scanned / fax copy. later they might ask for original sign of applicant as per IRCC.

Just spoke to CIC on call and they asked me to leave it at 1, and to write an explanation letter alongside it, stating that since the guide didn't provide any guidance on how to compute family size on this question, I am excluding my parents from this sum.
Unfortunately, CIC reps often provide conflicting information. If you call a different rep, you would get a different response. I would suggest following what is written on the website. As you see from the following guidance, you need to add sponsored persons to your family size for all years:

What about the gross income field? Am I supposed to put in the income stated on my NoA line 150? @canuck78

Last but not least, is anyone attaching bank statements, pay stubs or employment verification letter for this application? I know it's not a requirement but just wanted to see what other folks were doing. Thanks!
For income, yes, put line 150.
I would not suggest adding bank statements and any other information/documentation that is not specifically requested. Giving more info often makes more harm that helps.

Just curious:

What were the questions asked on the PGP interest to sponsor form?
I was one of those who were waiting but didn't even get to see the form. :oops::D

Hi Experts,

Can you please advise about the following:
1) My parents marriage certificate - if they got married 40 years ago and don't have the original certificate anymore, what can be done as an alternative? In my home country where they live (Pakistan), my mother's last name reflects my father's name in all her other documents (passport, national ID card etc.) - can that work?
2) My original birth certificate -- If my parents don't have my original birth certificate, what can I provide instead to prove my relationship with them? (again, my last name reflects my father's name on all my other official docs - can that work?)
3) My wife no longer working -- If my wife is a co-sponsor for our application to sponsor my parents and her income level is high enough to qualify us for sponsoring. However, she just quit working. Is it ok to state that she is no longer employed even though the previous notice of assessments have the income levels that are required OR you think it will create problems?

Thanks!! Will really appreciate the help (pls tag me when you reply :))

Quick Question for the Experts:
1) Please guide with the sequencing for the documents - Should we put bar code page (generated with 1344 - application to sponsor) before the checklist i.e invite letter, bar code page, check list, form 1344 and so on .
OR after the check list on top of the actual form 1344- application to sponsor?

2) Photographs - should we clip it with the generic application form? or any other form?

Wondering if AOR will be issued according to First come first service, or not. Apparently ECAS is not
Not sure. Just wondering if they are holding applications with family unit size issue in EOI because I had included my parents while calculating unit size for EOI.
