Guys, sorry about asking this again...but in form IMM 0008....how many family members should I say?
Im the only child of my parents, and I am sponsoring them (mom and dad), my husband is co singer
so the family size is 2?from the perspective of the principal applicant, which is my mom, the family is just her and my dad.

However, in the instruction guide, the family size includes the dependent children of the principal applicant, which is me...so should I say 3??

sorry i read it further it says the children needs to be under 22, okay, so the family size is 2?

I am copying and pasting from the guide and at section for
Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008) Question 3

Question 3

Enter the total number of family members included in your application. This includes yourself and any family members, regardless of whether they intend to accompany you to Canada or not.

For refugee claimants in Canada only: Enter the total number of family members included in your application for refugee protection who are with you in Canada.

Family members
An applicant’s closest relatives, in the context of an application to IRCC. It is defined as a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and their dependent children


SO for your case, family size is 2 to be filled for Question 3 in IMM 0008.

This is past my timeline (email at 1:41 EST) and there was someone else with email at 1:40 EST who got a letter half an hour ago.... I wonder why

I can only guess, the emails are sending manually. Some officers are faster then the others, no?

thank you! When I submitted the interest form I said 4, i guess i need to include a letter explaining?

 

[YVR123]

YOU + Husband = 2
your parents = 2
Total = 4

She is not asking about family size for sponsor to fill out for financial evaluation.
It's about principle applicant's info (IMM 0008 is a general form for all immigration route)

The number (4) that you mentioned will be calculated by the answers to questions in
Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents sponsorship (IMM 5768)

 

[YVR123]

This number is different from the OTHER number you put. Keep reading the guide and filling in the forms. Somewhere you will put 4.

Pay attention to "whom" the forms are designed for. Most of us are filling in that for our parents as well. But when you fill the sponsor's forms, think as yourself.
When you fill the principle applicant's forms, think as you are your mother or father.

What do you think IRCC has been doing for the past 3 months? The 27,000 are already screened and they know they will have less than 20,000 eligible

I am not sure about this... How do you tell if IRCC already know there would be less than 20K complete application before June 28 (deadline)?

How should you fill out the employment information in the "Financial Evaluation of Parents/Grandparents form"?

Should it be like this?

2019-01-01 to Present Employer Name Address Phone Gross Income Family Size
2018-01-01 to 2018-12-31 Employer Name Address Phone Gross Income Family Size
2017-01-01 to 2017-12-31 Employer Name Address Phone Gross Income Family Size
2017-01-01 to 2017-12-31 Employer Name Address Phone Gross Income Family Size

If yes, then what do we show in 2019 gross income? Should it be coming from your payslip? For 2018, 2017, 2016 you can document the gross income from the T4 slips.

I am going to fill out like this. As it covers last three and and until present. It should come from your income tax returns Notice of Assessment. I you are unable to provide Notice of assessment then pay slips.

I am following same pattern but for 2019 you leave your income blank as 2019 hasn't finished yet.

Hi Everyone , Please help

I submitted interest to sponsor form at 12.06-07 EST
confirmation email received at 1.40 EST
Invitation received 25th April 2019 at 2.57PM EST.

I have a doubt, I only added my details in the interest form to sponsor my mother on 28th Jan. However, my wife will be cosigning the application to qualify the required family income. I haven't submitted her details at that time as there were no questions asked about this. Is that ok if I add my wife as cosigner when I send my mother complete PR application?
