Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Garry2008]

When they said handwritten signatures, Can we just send scanned document with sign ?

Original handwriten signatures are required. Otherwise application can be delayed or rejected. why you will want to take a risk ?.

When i filled financial evaluation form . I dont have a co-signer and i selected NO
after that co-signer section is still available.
May be you have the same case.
Did you leave it blank or not in co-signer section?

I am wondering the same. I dont have a co-signer and my spouse recently passed away. So, not sure what to enter in those fields!

PLEASE read this guide before asking the same questions over and over. I just read through 10 pages on this thread and all of the answers are in this guide or on their website.

Good afternoon,

I checked the guide and couldn't find an answer to my question.

When I submitted the interest to sponsor form, I only filled out my mom's info. I misunderstood the question as it was saying not to list parents dependant. I was under the impression that my dad as a spouse would be a dependant. So I didn't list him....

If I put my dad on the application now, would it jeopardize the whole application? Would it make sense if I add an explanation letter?

I couldn't find a phone number for the immigration office, so you guys are my best bet. I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

May be your Citizenship certificate is diffrent than recent certificates. On my Certificate have effective date.
Try to look for any communication in email or when you applied your passport . or anything you chnaged on based of citizenship.

Hi there,

Form IMM-5768e, question 6 says "Every other family member not included above and dependent on you financially, whether they are living with you or not."

When I filled in the "interest to sponsor form" I counted my family size as 3 (me, my wife and our son).
However, a month ago I signed a paternity declaration and a child support order for another child who's not a Canadian resident.
He was conceived prior to my marriage. I've never met him and have never had any contact with him, but I've been paying child support following a positive DNA test.
I do not know if he qualifies as a "family member" and as "dependent on you financially", given I have no custody, he is not a resident, lives abroad and is mostly provided for by his mother and her husband.

My income is sufficient to sponsor my parents even if he is counted as a dependent.

My questions are:
1. Am I supposed to count him as a dependent under questions 6, 14 and 17 (under column family size) of form IMM-5768e?
2. If the answer is yes, would I need to prepare an affidavit explaining the discrepancy between the interest to sponsor form and my application?
3. Could this complicated matter jeopardize the application?
4. What translated documents, beyond declaration of paternity and child support would I need to provide?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe 10 years ago they didn't print complete date.

I am sponsoring 3 people. My parents and my brother who is 20. Do I need to fill the IMM008DEP form even though they are already on IMM008 form? Its very confusing

Yes - you must include him as a dependent and include him in your family size count. I don't think you need an affidavit - I would include a simple LOE explaining what has happened. Shouldn't be an issue at all provided you still meet LICO.

Someone should please help me out here. This income requirement is driving me crazy.

My wife got an invitation to sponsor her dad and I got an invitation for my mum as well. My wife would not meet the income requirement for 2017 and I have agreed to co-sign with her. My question is: if I co-sign with my wife, how many people will I be responsible for? Is it 3 people (my mum, myself and wife) for the last 3 taxation years or 4 people including her dad since I am a co-signer?

Similarly, I was separated from my ex-wife in 2017, would cic include her as part of family members for year 2016 and 2017 respectively?

Please help me out here

An affidavit will be required along with explanation letter. Notary public will have all information which is required on affidavit. If you want to have a look i included link for affidavit sample in previous answers.
