Hi

You can pick whichever parent you want to be the Principal Applicant. It makes no difference.

hi,

planning to sponsor my parents,

i was confused if i can put my mom as principal applicant and my dad as her dependent ?
I HAVE SEEN IN THE FORUM THAT BASICALLY EVERYONE HAS THERE DAD AS principal applicant and mom as dependent.

I WANTED TO KNOW IF IT IS POSSIBLE OR ALLOWED TO MAKE MOM AS PRINCIPAL APPLICANT AND DAD AS HER SPOUSE.

Confused about this, IS THERE ANY THREAD OR INSTRUCTION FOR THIS ?

As stated above, either parent can be the PA. Canada is not a sexist country that automatically requires the male to be the PA....

Hi ,

Need help with IMM 1344 , I want to sponsor both my parents ( married to each other ).


Do i fill a separate imm 1344 for each .? Or only one of them ?

If only one of them , I make the other one dependent on IMM 008 ?

Only fill one IMM1344 for the principal applicant. other parent will become dependent who will be mentioned on IMM0008
