There is a few threads discuss about the UCI number. Personally, I think it is for the CIC officer to complete and and as such should be left blank.
Deafness is not a disability that prevents a person from working and supporting themselves. Deaf people live completely normal and independent lives.
DEPENDENTS fill it out. If they are not dependents, they don't fill it out.Hi everyone!!
Someone might already asked this question, anyway; I'm confused at this Additional Family Information, So my siblings even though none of them are coming with my mom to Canada has to fill this out? All of my siblings are above 18 years old and have families. Any answer will be appreciated
Many deaf people are highly functional and are independent but in many countries they don't have access to education, job training, etc. I do think your brother would qualify as a dependent. Depending on his ability to live independently or work he may not be medically inadmissible. There is a huge number of young adults who will eventually need group homes, etc when their parents get older which will be the concern. I am sure your parents wouldn't want to leave him in your home country so you have to apply with him as a dependent and you'll have to see what happens.
Yes you need to show your current family size for the past 3 years. Did you work in Canada before becoming a PR? If not I don't think you qualify.
It's a catch 22 because if you can show he's able to live independently and work then IRCC may not allow him to be a dependent due to his medical condition.
The family size will be determined by the time you submit the sponsorship application. A friend of mine has similar situation like yours, he sponsored his wife and about few months later, they had a baby and the year after, he wanted to sponsor his parents. So when he applied to sponsor his parents last year (and was really lucky to get selected), his family size was total of 5: himself, his wife, his baby and 2 parents. Fortunately that my friend has had a good job with decent pay to cover a family of 5 for 3 years e.g. 2014-2015-2016 when he applied last year.
