Hello,
First off, thank you so much to this community for all your help for us in the past. With all the guidance here, I was able to sponsor my wife to Canada and start our family. We are expecting a child in coming months!
Now for the question:
We would like to invite my mother-in-law (my wife's mother) for an extended stay in Canada with us. I am leaving out a bunch of details, but we've determined that we are only applying for her (and not our father-in-law) at this time and doing a Supervisa such that we can show our income; her mother is a homemaker and has no income, and my father-in-law is a farmer with inconsistent pay.
For our Super Visa application, I am thinking of being a co-signer to meet the LICO requirements and also naturally because my mother-in-law will say with us. The other reason for this of course is my wife is not employed, and we prefer it this way for 1-2 years until our child grows up; she has never worked in Canada.
We are hoping to cover the fact that I am co-signing in the Invitation Letter, including both of our signatures (and explicit note that I am co-signer). However, this does not seem like it would be enough, I remember for other applications (i.e: When I sponsored my spouse), there are specific forms to fill out for co-signers
I came across TWO separaete IRCC pages with different details:
1. Financial Evaluation Form (IMM 1283) which seems like a lengthy ass form and needs to be completed by co-signers
2. I also came across this page on "Who can be my co-signer" which states that we must include "proof of income for the last 3 taxation years" but does not mention any other forms to be filled out.
Questions:
1. Do I need to fill IMM 1283 if I am co-signing AND I am the husband?
2. For "Funds (proof)" do I just include my (co-signers) bank account information?
3. Am I assuming correctly that "Employer letter (current)" should be mine (co-signers?)
4. Where do I attach the "proof of income for last 3 taxation years"? Can it just be in the "Additional Documents" bucket?
Thanks all!
