Thank you for the rely! Just want to clarify IMM 5768 Financial Evaluation, I thought this one can also be signed electronically? Here's what I found on the guideline.


"If you check “Yes,” type your social insurance number (SIN) and electronically sign and date the statement to give IRCC consent to collect your SIN to ask for your income tax information from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the 3 years immediately before the date of the application. "
I tried but it didn't work for me so i had to do it manually . I think Form 5768 is not updated to be electronically signed yet.

All forms are to be signed Electronical ( Basically you need to write the name as per passport in signature line ) Also if the form does not have a signature line then its normal because you will get the Option of Electronic/Digital Signature at the end when submitting the application that signoff all the forms.


The only form that cannot be signed electronically is IMM 5768 Financial Evaluation . So you can print out this form and then upload the PDF file after signature is done , I believe signature should be in Black Ink
I used adobe "Fill and Sign" feature to write my and my wife's name on co-signer and sponsor section respectively. On the explanation letter, we wrote a note to explain this.

We have not submitted the application but everything is now on the portal. We are going thorough last minutes check to see if something is missing or there is any mistake. Hopefully on or by weekend we will be done.

IMM5669 - I have a question regarding personal history duration for my mother/father who are retired/not working for last 10 yrs. Checklist 2022 for PGP had a note that for unemployed provide personal details from year 18 onwards. Does this mean I need to provide their details since their 18 yrs of age instead of since 2012(10 yrs)?

hey group, for form IMM 5768,

  • For employment history for last 3 tax years, which from and to date format to use?
    Option 1:
    From: 2019/01/01 To: 2019/12/31 and so on

    OR

    Option 2:
    From: 2019/01/01 To: 2020/01/01 and so on
  • The signature must be in blue ink or black ink?
Also, do we have to upload parent's education certificates and work experience letters as supporting documents?

I go with
  • 2019/01/01 - 2019/12/31 if you have worked with one employer for the entire year of 2019, else
  • For multiple employers in a given year with no overlapping, I would break based on employment period. For example, with two employers I would write 2019/01/01 - 2019/XX/YY employer 1 and 2019/XX/YY+1 - 2019/12/31 employer 2

Also, do we have to upload parent's education certificates and work experience letters as supporting documents?
No where it is asked to submit any educational or work related documents, except to list them without any gap from the age of 18. So it is up to you if you want submit them. For us, we won't be doing that.

I have used YYYY/MM/DD Format ( Format 1 of your example is best 2019/01/01 To: 2019/12/31 and so on )

Signature in Black Ink is good because some forms have indicated TYPE and PRINT in Black Ink ( For example IMM 5768 ) So it is better to sign in Black ink just in case . Parents Education Cert is not required . Include the documents as per check list only :)

My dad is retired for more than 10 years so i provided his history since age 18 . If i remember correct it clearly says - if Applicant is retired for more than 10 year then provide details since age 18 . I currently cannot find in the form where i read that but i am positive this is what they asked .


EDITS : Look at the check list Point number 6 , look at the notes it clearly says . For Section D , If the applicant or Dependent has not worked in the past 10 years ( Eg Retired ) they must provide details of their personal history since the age of 18 :)
