Hello,

I expressed interest to sponsor my parents under Parents and GrandParents program last year 2020 and I'm invited to apply to sponsor for my Parents and GrandParents program

CIC advised to fill the forms and submit as per the checklist imm5771e

The question I have is, do I need to fill forms separately, each for my dad and for my mom?

Or does my invitation only applies for one parent? Or should I list one of them as dependent?

Or Do I need to start new application for each one of them?

Please advise
It will be one application on the online portal. One of your parent will be the principal applicant, the other parent will be dependent.

Invitation applies to both parents as long as you added both parent when you submitted your interest to sponsor.

3.That's if you are using a paid representative or someone else. In this case both forms are required. For the sponsor and the person being sponsored.

If you want to serve as a representative for your parents then one form is enough.

4. ALL PAGES.
Thanks James. Wondering if you missed answering the first two questions in my list? :)


1. IMM 5669 - Schedule A: Background/Declaration -
Should I add details about my brother in this form, who is not a dependent of my parents?

2. Biometrics - My parents applied for their Canada Visitor Visa in 2016. They gave their BIOMETRICS then, however I don't know their UCI number. Should I pay the biometric fee as well for my parents?

Hi

In IMM 5406 and IMM 5669 do we have to enter the names of Applicants father, mother, spouse and childrens in native language or just the applicant name alone in native language?

Thanks

1. Please read the guide. It is pretty detailed and straight. No one will be doing that for you.
Does the form require the principal applicant to add any information about the dependents other then spouse? Just follow the questions.
2. I would pay just to be on a safe side. You can always get reimbursement later if the biometrics are not required in case of your parents.
Hope this helps.

In form 5768, in the employment history, the first line must include the most recent period (till present) and the gross income.
Since we are in Nov 2021, do i just put my gross Year-to-Date income from my payslip? Then explain in a separate attachment that this is from my payslip etc?

One more thing. If the spouse is not a co-signer, do i still need to report her employment status in Q15?
Leaving Q16 blank

Hi All,

Would be grateful if I can get some guidance here.

I was invited to apply to sponsor my parents. In the Application to Sponsor form, there is a question "Have you submitted a previous application in respect of which a final decision has not been made for the person being sponsored and their family members?"

I had applied for a super visa for my parents and then midway through its processing, this invitation for Sponsoring came through. I would rather get the sponsorship done. However, the super visa application is still under processing. Does this mean I answer "Yes" to the above question? If I do, I will not be eligible to sponsor. Is there a way I can withdraw my super visa application?

This is from the application guide

If you need more space for any section, include an additional pagecontaining the appropriate section, complete it and upload it with your application. For the document type, choose “other.”
