Hello Guys , I have a question regards to Schedule A- Background declaration form IMM 5669. Instruction says Principal Applicant and all dependents must sign their own copy of this form. I am applying for my father and my mother. i also have a sibling who is 30 plus years old and already married so in this case my question is
1) is my sibling considered dependent?
2) Does the form should only be signed by my father (principal Applicant) only? or should the form be signed my my father as Principal Applicant and my Mother as well.

3) Also the instruction says sign your name in writing with a Hand written signature. Does this means . I have to send the form via courier and have my parents sign and mailed back to get the signature?

can you please help me understand. I really appreciate the response back. Thank you!

This is a link to the guide
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html#apply-principal

search for section on:
"Who should be included in the sponsorship application?"
and read through the section on "Family members" and "Dependent children ".
Note that "Your family members" here in this section is for principle applicant. So the parent that you picked as the principle is "you" being referred in here.

Do not rush it! Make sure you have all the information first. Some of the form needs to be filled in and verified in order to generate bar code (sorry, I didn't look at 2020 application forms and not sure if they are still using this).
So if the form has bar code, they can only sign printed form once it's all filled in and verified.

Hi Guys,

This is regarding sponsor Parents and Grandparents Program Invitation -2020. Recently, I have received an email from CIC accepting my interest to sponsor my parents, who are in India.

Some guidance is required how to fulfill the below:
(a) Parents' marriage certificate. They do not have marriage certificate, as such. But, each other's passport states spousal name. Will that satisfy with the explanation? or Does it require some kind of affidavit from the lawyer?

(b) Curriculum Vitae of Parents : Father is not schooled much; and retired now since long time. Mother is not schooled and housewife. If any of you guys a particulat format, would you please forward with redacting the confidential data.

(c) Are parents required to undergo any medical test under this program, in addition to bio-metrics?

Thanks in advance.

Only have answer for 1 of your questions.

c) Everyone needs to undergo and pass medical. Medical will be requested when IRCC starts processing the application. (after sponsor approval, I believe)

Hello everyone. I applied for my parents PR through 2020 parents grand parents sponsorship program. After all processing we have been invited to submit passport within one month. But the local visa processing center is closed du to Covid (Chittagong, Bangladesh) and could not get an appointment in another city yet. Deadline is approaching. My question is what will happen if we missed the deadline, how can we extend it? Did anyone else face this issue and solve it? if anyone has any insight on this please share, thanks.
