Hi Guys,

Just wanted to create this thread to call all 2017 PGP applicants. I am planning to sponsor my parents and was hoping we could help each other in the process.

There is an active 2016 thread that I have been following for updates - http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/tips-for-2016-future-pgp-applicants-t333951.0.html.

Hope we can do the same for 2017

Cheers,
G

I know if they are divorced you should send separated packages, I believe I read it in some where in the CIC guidance!

You must send separate applications and will need to show proof that they are separated.

As your parents have not divorced, your father's latest marriage is not legal. Provided they have been living together continuously for a year, she can be included as his common-law partner.

Read the posts. There was no divorce, so the new marriage isn't legally recognized. The parents are separated, so filing together would be misrepresentation.

You will need to submit proof that your parents are legally separated.

If your father and his current partner have lived together continuously for at least a year, they are common-law and she MUST be included in the app and in the family size for LICO for every year.

If they are not common-law, then she can't be included in the app at this time and is not included in the family size for LICO. When they do become common-law, she will need to be added to the app and she will be included in the count for LICO from that year onwards.

I have a question regarding the family size

I am not married, no children.
I am applying for both my mom and my dad.
I have a brother who is 22 years old and is NOT disabled and lives with my parents.

I think the family size would be 3. Correct me if I am wrong.

AND

When filling out additional family information form for each applicant.

Do I need that form for my brother?

N.B
I know he is not being sponsored but the form says each dependent of the principal applicant who is above 18 should fill out the form.
According to IRCC definition technically he is not a dependent (older than 18 and no disability) , even though my father provides everything for him.

Seniors please help, Finalizing my application this week.

Your brother is not a dependent.
