To the best of my knowledge, this has to be three separate applications. It would have been the same if you had previously applied paper-based.

Your children aren't dependents of each others and so cannot be included in one single application.

The only way you'd be able to include them all in one application would be if (for example) you were sponsoring a spouse or common law partner for PR and the three children were included as dependents of that primary applicant.

Thanks for your quick reply,

i guess ,i will do that, create seperate application for each child.

i came across another problem, i ulpoaded the application to sponsor, as this form,cant be filled online, u have to download the form, then fill it, but do we have to validate it, i tried both validated and without validation, it keep giving me a technician error, without any reference number to look it up, i also followed the labeling convention mentioned on the web portal

"There was a technical error when handling your request. Please try again later."

Hello, i have a question regarding applying online to sponsor kids. Is the sponsor will complete the form for the sponsor and principal applicant form and the sponsor also the one that will send the application to cic. Its little bit confusing when they changed the way how to sponsor someone. thank you
