Hi, I received the email to sponsor
Is it worth using the immigration consultant charging 2k here in Alberta
Also I don't have the marriage certificate for my parents and they are currently with me on Supervisa.
How will I be able to attach the marriage certificate in this case. They are not returning anytime soon and the submission deadline is December.

Thanks for any help!

Not worth paying someone to fill out the application if you have the time to do it yourself.

for me you either do not have the program or when you do, put a bit of effort to make it fair.
Agree that IRCC need to follow their own rules. Enforcement with IRCC is incredibly lax. I sometimes wonder why we have rules if no follow-up. Read a case today where someone had been approved for PR after 10 years 3 H&C claims plus reconsiderations, asylum denied, RAD denied, JR denied, PPRA denied, 5 deportation attempts, etc. How is someone still in Canada after so many refusals and making it to the 3 rd H&C filing? Sure the whole process has cost over 100k for taxpayers. That said it is very difficult to create a system that everyone will feel is fair for parent sponsorship if we are going to have limited spots and high demand. The current system was to prioritize those who have met LICO since at least 2018 yet that isn’t what is actually happening. People’s expectation that
aren’t sponsorship will come soon after meeting LICO for 3 or that it is guaranteed will need to change. See many complaining that they have been waiting so long when they have met 3 years of LICO less than 1-2 years. A large number of people wait much longer to get selected for PGP. The government should do a better job clarifying that parent sponsorship is not guaranteed and could take10+ years.

The spouse needed to be included on the EOI2020. Were they?
That's not mandatory, he is asking spouse to be included as a cosigner not as a dependent for PR, You can declare spouse as a cosigner even if she was not included in EOI2020 as long as she meets income requirements.
