Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

Lol! Curious why @deerestlovelybear isn't commenting at all. She should have checked and found to be invited as well on the website at the very least.

Also did you notice CIC or IRCC didn't posted the invite news on any of their social media channels yet. Possibly to avoid all complainers lol. Good move.

No, we shouldn't. Only include:

- yourself
- your spouse or common law partner
- your dependent children
- your spouse’s or partner’s dependent children, and
- any other person you and your co-signer may have sponsored in the past, for whom you are still financially responsible

so if I am single, the total family should be only 1?

Hey guys - quick question in IMM 0008 form, when they are asking for the name of my mother. She doesn't have a last name on the passport. As per this post : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=014&top=4

They say to NOT enter N/A etc.

However, then I cannot press the validate button, as it gives me an error of Blank Family Name. In the guide, they mention that the form NEEDS to be VALIDATED, else it will be returned:



Anyone else with a similar issue? What do you suggest I do ??

According to the link you shared, you have to put her “first name” in the “last name” and leave the first name blank.
You can try it, if with leaving first name blank it still does not let you validate then you might need to check with IRCC.
I have the same case but haven’t started the forms yet.
And you can include a letter to explain why did you put given name in last.
I hope that works!

I don't believe everyone is invited. That's the reason above mentioned people who were 24/7 on this thread are gone all of a sudden

right.... from what I've read here today. Someone was declined due to incorrect household number. so let me re phrase; not everyone. I guess if your name didn't match the id you uploaded. They will decline as well; what else was on the invitation form; I forgot.

that copy and paste doesn't have the whole information.. check this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1460&top=14

you SHOULD include the ppl sponsored on the family count

How do I calculate my family size to sponsor my parents and grandparents?
You, the sponsor (and your co-signer, if applicable), must prove that you have enough income to support all the people you’ll be financially responsible for once you become a sponsor. We call this your “family size”, which is the number of people you’ll be responsible for.

To calculate your family size, include:

• yourself
• your spouse or common-law partner (who could also be your co-signer)
• your dependent children
  • only include your children if they meet the definition of a dependent child
  • for young children, only include them starting on the year they were born (see example 2)
• your spouse’s or partner’s dependent children
  • only include children who meet the definition of a dependent child
  • for young children, only include them starting on the year they were born (see example 2)
• any other person you (and your co-signer, if applicable) may have sponsored in the past, for whom you’re still financially responsible
• the parents and grandparents you want to sponsor and their dependants (spouse or partner and dependent children). You must also include
  • any dependent children who won’t come to Canada with your parents or grandparents
  • your parent or grandparent’s spouse or partner, even if they won’t come to Canada
  • your parent or grandparents’ separated spouse

If your mom is married, then her husband, and plus all of your mom's dependents if there is any.

Hello Guys,
Couple of questions here !!

1. Regarding co-signing the application, Can my grandfather co-sign the application for my parents.
2. If I have three family members back home; Father, mother and sister(dependent). Can i apply for one member or do I need to sponsor three of them together ?

Thank you

When we submit interest to sponsor our parents back in January 2019. the form said it only include

- yourself
- your spouse or common law partner
- your dependent children
- your spouse’s or partner’s dependent children, and
- any other person you and your co-signer may have sponsored in the past, for whom you are still financially responsible

But according to the link below, it said different. So I'm a bit confused too.
