5 B) All - 0
6 A) - 1 (Spouse got PR from express entry)

I would read the instructions again, CAREFULLY. As far as i'm aware that form only needs to be completed if you are sponsoring your son/daughter WHO HAS THEIR OWN CHILD. This is a fairly rare case for family sponsorships.

Thank you for your response but, as per the instruction: The IMM 5481 form should only be filled out when you are sponsoring dependent children who in turn have no dependent children of their own.

My apologies, you're correct, I confused this with another form. Yes, you're correct, you should get to four people.

I appreciate and Thank you for your time.

I also have a quick question.

My spouse and I both got PR through express entry while I was a principal applicant and my sponsoring spouse was a secondary applicant. Currently my spouse is sponsoring our child, so he is good to sponsor our child, am I right?

I do not understand your question. Either parent, as long as they are PR or citizen in Canada, and no other prohibitions (such as there are), can sponsor the child.

If both of you got the PR through express entry while you were the principal applicant, your spouse was a dependent of your in that application.
He is part of the PR application and was NOT being sponsored.
As replied, he can sponsor a child as dependent as long as he's a PR living in Canada.
