Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[happyCanadian]

Can someone pls confirm that following are the only forms to sign,
Sponsor has to sign

• IMM 1344 (electronically)
• IMM 5768

Principal Applicant has to sign

• IMM 1344 (electronically)
• IMM 5669 (part of the form)

If you are assigning anyone to represent then the representative+sponsor/cosigner and representative+parents have to sign 5476 (but if sponsor is representing parents then they sign only one form).

All the forms, either pdfs (1344, 5768, 5476) or web-based (5669), are to be signed and dated, if applicable, electronically.

There is nothing like new residents/immigrants do not need to declare income before landing/coming to Canada.

If one is a tax resident (has his/her foot on Canadian soil for more than 182 days), s/he has to file tax declaring all the incomes in a given year (gross income) and has to pay tax in his/her net income (gross income - deductions). However, there is few exceptions, such as if you earn in US or a country with which Canada has some tax treaty. The above info was given to me in 2009 by an officer, and was/is consistent with CRA guide, who issued me a study permit at the airport.

Now coming back to the issue that is being discussed, if the OP was not a tax resident then in my understanding her/his world income is not taxable and is not counted for PGP sponsorship. This is true for any kind of non taxable income, earn in or out of Canada, for example scholarship, stipend etc.

you are repeating what i said ,and changing the words ,and what i added is not a personal opinion its from the site .

Question :
1-was your spouse sponsored by you initially ?
2-when you filled application IMM0008 was she a co-signer and added on question number 3 as part of the application ?

I read posts in threads for previous years that form 5406 is to be signed.

but i could not find any spot in the online form 5406 to sign.

Does anyone knows if we have to sign 5406 or not?

really panicking as the application is already submitted.

I do not think there is any where you need to sign on Additional Family Information (IMM 5406). The thread you read may be bit old, when we had to submit his form in pdf format. I did that for all visa and pr application until this time. However, currently in the web-based form I checked more than 20 times, but could not find a section this form to signed.

Just o summarized what we did, signed (electronically by writing names) and dated (choose date from the drop box or typing in the correct format) the below pdf forms

• Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM1344) - by Sponsor (SP - your or your spouse), (optional) Co-signer (CS - your spouse or you) and Principal applicant (PA - one of your parent or in-law)
• Financial Evaluation or Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship (IMM 5768) - signed using acrobat "Sign and Fill" feature by SP and CS (this is because we gave IRCC a consent to access our tax return from CRA)
• (Optional) Use of Representative (IMM 5476) - by SP (as the representative -friend/family) and PA+ dependent spouse to the PA (your another parent or in-laws)

In addition, we signed digitally in the below section/form, via the online application portal

• Schedule A- Background/Declaration (IMM5669) - this is web-based form to be signed by PA
• Consent by PA to release information and confirming the truthfulness of the of the documents/information being submitted

Other forms we submitted are listed below, without any signature

• Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 008) - web based form
• Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)
• Supplementary Information Your Travels (IMM5562)
• 2022 Document Checklist for Parents and Grandparents (IMM5771) - pdf form to be upload in supporting document segment as "Document Checklist"

Create every thing under your name , try to use the email that you used in submitting the Invitation , And once you fill out all information submit a "Use of Representative" form and provide your name as contact person and your email address , This way IRCC would know that you have helped your parents for filling out all the forms .

1. Not sure if it count as a sponsor. My wife was part of my application as a spouse when I applied for my PR. We both got the PR at the same time.

2. Yes she is a co-signer now as a sponsor for my parents application.
