Guys, i need advice. so in 2020 i applied for the expression of interest to sponsor my parents, i got invitation to sponsor my parent in 2021, after i applied i go rejected due to a short fall of $1002 from my 2018 income. so since then i have not been able apply since IRCC is still picking from the 2020 pull, do i still have a chance in the 2020 pull or i have to wait to apply when new expression of interest is out.

Hi, once you were refused you are out of pool so you have to apply again.

Thank you.

My parent application shows exactly the same thing! HOWEVER, do not request for refund. Biometrics for PR and your other application differ. So I'd suggest not wasting your time and that of the officers.

I did not include children while counting family members.

I was finally able to link my GCkey account.

Thanks to @Solarmanng and you

In the instruction guide for PCC, it said:
1. For instant updates, submit your documents via IRCC secure account (MyCIC) at: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html

When I login, there are no places to submit documents as it says no required document is needed at this time!

I think I'll have to use webform.

There was an email for submitting documents in the letter I got from them. That's where I send the docs to. Still got an automatic reply

The same is the case with me. I just sent the additional documents to the email address mentioned in their letter. I hope this is OK.

She doesn't needed to be educated to have a CV. Create a simple one for her if she was a homemaker/housewife, just put that in.

I am sorry to hear your story, I am no expert in this but logically speaking I would imagine that you will need to wait for the new expression of interest form to open. Since your number was drawn once and processed IRCC may have added you to some exclusion list so it doesn't get drawn again. That's how I would design the lottery system to work, else it won't be fair to those remaining in the pool.

I hope its not too long of a wait for you before you can apply again, all the very best.

You can submit documents through the linked portal only if they've asked for something, in which case they will create buttons for you to click and upload. Meanwhile if you're sending something proactively then you need to use the web form.

Hi Guys, As posted earlier, I have no updates ever since applied. I call up IRCC and the call never got connected. Is there any better way to call IRCC to get status of application.

That's surprising you've not been able to contact them over the phone. Have you been calling this number - 1-888-242-2100.

If you call from within Canada they even have a call back option and any time of the day between 8am - 4pm local time you get a call back in less than 20mins

May be I am not choosing the right options! Will retry!

For the CV requirement, I submitted a letter of explanation why my mother did not have a CV. It seems that it was accepted because I was never asked about it.

For proof of relationship to your mum, your birth certificate should be valid if both you and your mom's names are well identified on the document. In my case, my birth certificate was not accepted as a proof of relationship to my mom because of mis-match of names on it. Though my mom's name was clearly identified on it, my first name there does not match what's on my passport. Therefore, I was asked to provide additional proof. Fortunately, my baptismal card which had all my legal names and that of my mom's was submitted and it was accepted.

I also sent a webform. Got an email today that the documents have been added to the file

Hi, I just received the AOR for my mom and able to link her application. But I found the following information in the second paragraph (see the next paragraph). I did submit IMM5768 with my application. I am just confused about the sentence they use (mark in bold & underlined). Would you please confirm me, is this a generic format or I need to send them again!!

Please note that the following documentation will be required for your sponsorship application to determine whether you meet the minimum necessary income requirements to sponsor a parent or grandparent. In order to minimize processing delays, if not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible:
• A completed and signed authorization form – IMM 5768 - Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship providing your Social Insurance Number.
o If you selected “Yes” to the Statement of Consent on this form and provided your Social Insurance Number, you authorize IRCC to request information from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) in regards to your, or the cosigner’s (if applicable), income tax information for the three consecutive years immediately preceding the received date of your application.
