Hi dear folks.
Guess lucky us are preparing the document now.
I have some questions and hope anyone could help answer.
Basic information for my case:
1. My wife (sponsor) is applying for her parents. Her income does not meet the minimum requirement. We are a family with 2 kids, and now undertaking 2, so total number is 6.
2. I am co-signer. My income meets minimum requirement. both wife and myself had filed tax and NOAs in the past 7 years.
3. Wife, myself, kids are all Canadian citizen.
4. Wife has been in Canada in the past 7 years. I'm working in different countries with work visa and come back to Canada every 2-4 months. Sometimes I stay outside of Canada for 6 months continuously, sometimes I stay in Canada for 6 months continuously, working from home for the employer outside of Canada. I don't have a Canadian employer since 2020.
Questions:
1. Form 1344, co-signer residency declaration: Are you a Canadian citizen living exclusively outside Canada? My assumption is No. As I do live both in Canada and other countries.
2. Form 1344, co-signer eligibility assessment, question 3: Do you reside in Canada and no other country? My understanding is, my home is in Canada, and I have strong tie with Canada. But I do live in other countries due to work. What should I answer?
3. Form 5768, question 17 employment history: I worked in different countries not by calendar year, so the gross income of the period will not match my NOA which is by tax year. Should I break down the period by calendar year, so it's easier to match NOA?
4. Form 5768, I have a period of unemployment, but I did receive a payment from employer due to termination of my contract prematurely. So in that period, my status is unemployed, but have gross income?
5. Form 5768, my wife has a period of unemployment, but she had rental income from house that we owned. So during that period, will her status be unemployed, but have gross income?
Thanks a lot in advance. Hope everyone is progressing well.
