Sponsoring Parents in 2015

[screech339]

My parents filled most of the forms from back home.
Can someone please confirm besides IMM1344 what other forms sponsor have to sign??
I dont have co-signer.
Thanks

Depending on what country your parents are mailing the forms to you, you are really cutting it close. You need to get the signed forms from your parents in the next 3 days before you mail it in time for jan 4th. CIC are not open on weekends and most couriers are not open on weekends either.

Hi
For the Fee payment, the sponsor is "1" written on the form, do we have to change it to "2" if we have a co-signer? i.e. $75*2=$150?

Also for the 3 consecutive taxation years the family size will be:

Sponsor + co-signer = 2

OR Sponsor + Cosigner + Mom + Dad + 1 dependent = 5

Please suggest. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, I have already asked my mother to include dad in the form as well and put the reason of not accompanying as "business".

But again the the financial evaluation form where it says "write down the Number of persons" from IMM0008 question #3 ( i guess) - Should i put 2 or 1 ? because in IMM0008 the # of persons are 2 but for financial evaluation form the person should be 1 since dad is not accompanying.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciated.
I already have signed form from my parents. I live in Canada.
Earlier I was talking about my signature (sponsor) not my parents signature, they already signed and send all forms to me.
I just want to confirm if me (sponsor) have to sign any other form besides IMM1344.
I just noticed I have to signed only one form IMM1344, just confirm if I (sponsor) am missing any signature.
Please reply
Thanks

Since CIC is not open on Saturday, this will be pointless?


also, they have two different delivery for Monday morning

Will they really send the driver to same location twice in the morning? or will they just group them into one delivery?
cuz if they can really guarantee 9am, I would go for that, Fedex earliest delivery is 10am

Do you know if they accept print outs from online account?

Your online printouts doesn't show your SIN. It will show your name. I am not sure if this makes any difference or not.

I guess, everyone will use the courier service like Fedex, DHL, Xpress post etc. Is the below address correct for courier:

Case Processing Centre – Mississauga PGP
Parents and grandparents sponsorship
2 Robert Speck Parkway, Suite 300
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8

I would like to know this as well. We sent ours to the PO Box last year through Canada Post Express Post (Nightmare!!!) and didn't make the cap but will be using UPS or Fed Ex this year.

The only other form is Use of Representative form if applicable to you.

Thanks for your reply. Really appreciated.

IMM5768, Question 17 does not allow me to type in the box below. Do anyone facing the same situation ?

Hi, I became PR in 2013 and I don't have 3 years of NOA. Can I apply for my parents though I meet the financial criteria. Your thought on this will be appreciated. Appreciate comment from any other who has gone through such situation. Thanks

I'm little confused how much i'm supposed to pay.
when Sponsoring father and mother only, total family of 5, (me+wife + child)
1 x Sponsor (Me) $75
1 x Principal applicant(father) $475
1 x Spouse or common-law(mother) $550

total $1100, is correct?
or i add to pay $150 for Dependent child?
I'm not sure, child from which side they are referring to.
my dependent or applicant's dependent.

Hi all,

I'm trying to applying for my Widow Mother (no dependent) in 2016 and want some advise.
I'm sponsor with no co-signer.

Do we need to send anything else apart from what is requested in document checklist???

I understand that we need to send all the forms signed and
Citizenship certificate copy
Birth certificate
Applicant's Passport
Option C prints for last 3 years.

Please let me know if we need to send anything else like photos or my dad's death certificate or parents marriage certificate or my marriage certificate even though wife is not co-signing or any other thing which i'm missing.

Plz help i know i'm overthinking but just wanna be absolutely sure.

Thanks

i didn't see anyone from Edmonton using Fedex in 2015? Just wondering if someone did? How was the experience with time stamping?

Purolator seem to have 8:45am time of delivery but was actually delivered after 12 noon on 2nd Jan 2015 (misleading time of delivery).

Any suggestions for Edmonton applicants for 2016?

I used FedEx next AM from Vancouver and my package was delivered at 9:45ish. For time sensitive packages I only trust FedEx.
