Can anyone please tell if EI income(Laid off from work) will count towards income?
Income sources that count toward your total income
These income sources will count toward your total income (as long as they’re reported on your NOA):

  • Employment Insurance special benefits, such as maternity and parental benefits
  • any Employment Insurance earnings for the 2020 and 2021 tax years only
  • Canada Emergency Response Benefit
  • other temporary COVID-19-related benefits
    • as long as they’re not part of provincial or territorial social assistance programs
  • paid parental leave

Not sure why you are the one sending the option C. Your son (Principal applicant) should be the one sending the Option C because he is the sponsor and it is his tax info in it. They are saying that since you sent a document in behalf of the Sponsor, you should submit a representative form. They don't have a file in hand that says you can send documents in behalf of the Sponsor.

As replied by another memeber, it depends. Since it's not parental related, it depends on the year that you got EI. I think it's a temporary relax policy during COVID.

Your son is supposed to submit option C, not you (PA). So if you want to represent your son, you need to sign the Use of Representative form.

Otherwise, just ask your son (sponsor) to submit his option C as requested by IRCC.

Greeting everyone. We received a message requesting few things by IRCC.

  1. Proof of residential address, which is straight forward ( we are planning to submit driver's license, and utility bills)
  2. Proof of relationship: we submitted marriage certificate and birth certificate at the beginning. Now they are asking, adhaar and voter's ID. What are these?? In the country where my in-laws are there is no voter's ID and what is Adhaar? I search about this and noticed, this is some sort of ID in India but we are not from India, so whay are they asking this?? mistake??
  3. Also, Police certificate, which we will apply and send them soon.
Anyone who received this. They have even asked us Indian Passports and/OCI, not sure what is going on?

Hello everyone, wanted to post it to the 2022 and 2019 PGP profile: I helped my parents apply for visitors visa last year through the Singapore Office. It is still in "secondary review" Since it has been 1 year, I was thinking to reapply. my questions are as follows:

1. Do i have to "retract" the earlier application and then reapply for a new visitors visa?
2. Now that they have also applied for PGP, how does that affect the visitors visa process?
3. Or should we just keep waiting? We applied last April, M.P. requests do not help, same information as we get when we call. At one point it said waiting for officer review.
4. They both have had Canadian visas before, never over stayed any visa around the world. They have a new US visitors visa which I also sent to them via webform.

Thank you for your thoughts, suggestions ahead of time.
