Hi Seniors,

I am doing Parent Sponsorship for my mother, who is a widow.

Does she need to fill **Additional Dependant Declaration (IMM 0008DEP). She is the principal applicant with no Dependants. My 3 siblings are not dependants neither they are coming to Canada with my mother.

Please advice.

Thanks

The IMM IMM 0008DEP is not required in this case.

"Hello everyone, I have a very old Birth Certificate Record from India, which is handwritten but it only mentions names of my parents. My name is not mentioned on that certificate (because at the time of birth children do not have names). Maybe now the process is different. But what should I do? I have already got an Affidavit of Parentage signed by my parents in the presence of a Commissioner for Oaths in Canada along with other supporting documents such as my passport, school passing certificates which state my parents name.

Should I be also sending them a copy of my birth certificate which only states my parents name."

Guys please help!!

Affidavit of Parentage signed by your parents is going to help for sure, no need to worry! Also i like the idea of providing other supporting documents such as passport, school passing certificates which state your parents name.

But you will still be required to provide the copy of your birth certificate, even if it doesn't carry your name. If the certificate is in a language other than English, get it translated too.

Hi Everyone,

My parents sent me signed pages and they are in A4 page size as that is standard in India. Is it acceptable here

And should i just print everything else here in A4 or letter size

Can you check you application status in ECAS?

I checked in ECAS, not there yet

All those who have already mailed their applications to IRCC >> Which company is offering the most reasonable mailing services in Canada to send packages similar in size and weight to a PGP application package (tracking included)?

The only option is CANADA POST, the courier companies can't deliver to PO BOX address. Canada Post delivered my application in 1 day, it costs, but its worth!

there is no rule as such i could find, but A4 is the preferred go to format.

With what information we can check the ECAS ?

UCI is what i used, but no info there for me either...

If YOU didn't understand the first time you should have just ask rather than assuming and giving out free advice!!
Anyways lets drop it here and not fill the forum with irrelevant posts!

@canuck78 and @ZOYAMAN13 How about focusing on helping others in this forum?

 

[gst8486]

so i do not need to include my mother in law who was here on visitors visa now she is back in home country. her visa is still valid. but she is not here in Canada with me.

Nope!

Do we need to write an invitation letter or is that just a copy of email we received from CIC?

Just print the invitation letter ITA received from IRCC and put it on top of the application package. Good luck!

Hey guys, I have a question if anyone can please help me. Form IMM 5768, under employment history, I had 2 jobs in the same tax year so should I just mention my Full time job for that whole year or mention every job even if I worked 2 jobs at a time from 2016-2018?

The below example from last year might help you:

1. Form IMM5768 Financial Evaluation for Parents Sponsorship
   If you are working for the same company for last three year, Assuming you worked for a company XYZ, and assuming family size 5 with gross income 90k, I would fill the form year wise, see the below example:
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Here is another example for reporting income
   
   
   
   
   
   Assuming that you are making $100,000 per annum since 2015 and you have worked for 4 different companies and your family size has been 5 since 2015, In my case, I filled the Employment History section of form in year-wise fashion, and I would suggest you to pick gross income mentioned in your NOAs.
   
   For your employment from 2018-01-01 to present, you can total the salary as per your paychecks. Make sure you leave no gaps in between the dates.
   
   
3. Here is another example for reporting income
   I will recommend you to use the annual income mentioned in Notice of assessment (NOA) for past three years. I am not confident about putting individual incomes mentioned in individual T4s for individual employer. Basically you make two things clear in section 14. of this form IMM5768
   1. where you worked in 2015, 2016, 2017 and beginning of 2018
   2. how much you made in year 2015, 2016, 2017 and beginning of 2018
   
   Assuming that in year 2017, you worked for two employers (Employer 2 and Employer 2.1) and made $100,000 in total in year 2017 (as per NOA), I would suggest you the below format to apply. I will also suggest you to put in brackets 'this was my second job/ employer' infront of employer/ company name.
   
   
   
   
   
   Also as shown under columns for gross income in 2017, draw a big bracket with the help of a scale, to show that you are showing a combined income

Also, for imm 0008dep, I am only sponsoring my my mom and my siblings are in their 30's, so since theres no dependent should I still submit that form and write NA across or just not send it at all?

Nope!

 

[gst8486]

Can someone confirm where to the place the letter of explanation in the package? I have to write about 4 to 5 explanation letters. Should we place behind each concerned form or together at the last?

In 2018 I placed it right after the ITA letter, and i had no issues and i did the same for 2019.

I recommend writing one explanation letter only, explain all the situation/ scenarios in it. Good Luck!
