I believe that IMM5768E Financial Evaluation needs to be updated by CIC to include 2014 year in the point 9- Total income available to Sponsor in Financial Requirement SectionRossei said:
Indiapnp said:Thank you Rossei and razerbalde to pick up on those questions.
I have follow up questions on the topic:
1. I know you suggested an affidavit from Indian Authority (it would be only Notary Public as per my understanding unless there is a better option?). However, I was wondering whether an affidavit from Canadian Notary Public better is preferable over an affidavit from Indian Notary Public (does even make sense for a Canadian Notary Public to write an affidavit for an Indian couple)?
2. Its interesting that you mentioned an Affidavit from Indian Authority/Notary and not from my parents? Which one would be preferable or adding from both would be an good idea?
I assume a letter from Notary/Authority is - Notary/Authority giving the conformation and from my parents is - My parents giving the conformation which would be different?. What would be preferred or affidavit from both would strengthen the case?
3. I observe that you sound reasonably confident but are not 100% certain on whether an affidavit would suffice. Given the time sensitivity and a lack of an opportunity to reapply I am wondering is there is any way to get full certainty on this topic? I completely trust your judgement and will be going with it but trying to do what I can.
4. Final query:
you advise to explain why they do not have a marriage certificate. I am not aware of a solid reason behind that other than that is how it was in those days (kinda raw and rude to say). I am not sure how to communicate this; any suggestions?
Yes, my birth certificate (which has to be translated and certified) has my parent's name in addition to passports and school certificates etc. So, that could be some help.
Thank you share your experience with us.
Cheers
Honestly I expected the forms to be available by now. I think a lot of us are anxious to fill up the forms and get ready to mail.skj1965 said:
The office may be closed, but there should be drop-off box available either at the office or at some other location. But if you're using drop-off, make sure when the last pick-up time is during end of December. In my case, although I was told over and over both by FeDex & Purolator that their last pick-up is at 3pm (even on Dec 31); the actual pick-up was before noon on that very day.adelebai said:
I don't exactly remember but I probably used black as I normally do for any CIC application.
You should note that your daughter does not qualify as a dependent under current rules since she is over the age of 18. So if your daughter in Canada is sponsoring you under parents PR program in January 2016, it will just be for you and your spouse (2 sponsored persons). Your 20 yr old daughter will need to be left off the application (unless she has a disability which makes her dependent on you) and find her own way to immigrate to Canada.dadaum said:
I think an affidavit from India would be more appropriate. But you can notarize the affidavit here.Indiapnp said:
An affidavit is kind of from your parents anyway (they are called affiants). A commissioner of oath just certifies that the oath was taken by the affiant in front of him/her.
I would suggest you to read these:3. I observe that you sound reasonably confident but are not 100% certain on whether an affidavit would suffice.

I was just suggesting your parents to write a letter (if not fully explained in the affidavit) why they did not acquire a marriage cert. You could also add the list of attached docs (passport copies, your birth cert, parents' id etc.) which deem adequate to you.

You select the first option: *Withdraw your sponsorship application. All processing fees less $75 will be refunded. There is no point of choosing the second one. BTW, your daughter has to fill out this form.dadaum said:
Again, your daughter needs to fill out this form. None of the sponsored person's name appear in this form. Only the number comes in 3. A). 3.A) should be same as 3 of Application Details of IMM0008 (should be filled by you).
As Rob_TO mentioned, your 20 year old daughter is not a legit dependent anymore. CIC changed the age limit of accompanying dependents from 22 to 19 recently. Read the Guide 5772, it says:

Translation of documents
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
(1) the English or French translation; and
(2) an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
(3) a certified copy of the original document.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.
