HI I need advise from someone experienced in this. I had filed for parental sponsorship and since then now I have got a new born baby and my wife is on maternity plus parental leave. I know I have to inform IRCC of this new birth as there is a income eligibility requirement. My wife was not a co signor and even now after the birth I do not need her to be co signor. My question is when I fill up this financial evaluation form ( 5768e) - there is a section asking spouse employment status and I am not sure if I should show her as employed or unemployed - looks like it should be shown as unemployed and in comments section I should write about maternity/parental leave OR should be shown as employed as she will be joining the employer after maternity leave anyways . On the other hand I am worried will it be a negative sign for them while processing the application ( although she is not co signor and my salary is enough for last 3 yrs requirement) - please suggest if someone already gone through this.
