If there is no one to receive the package, it doesn't matter, as it will stay at the post office Anyway, I've got it signed. When you send to PO box, they usually leave a notice in it instead of the package itself, and the receiver has to come and sign at the counter. Not sure about CIC case, maybe the have some special PO box.

they must be receiving hundreds of apps everyday, so there should be someone to receive them. just trying to look for the safest/fastest option though.

Always sent all my immigration applications by Xpresspost, no signature option to the PO Box, and always got a signature on the online tracker. .

I was reviewing my application package and a question came to my mind regarding the Financial evaluation form.
I just wanted to make sure if in those 2 tables for 3 years jobs of the sponsor and cosigner, in the last part which is asking family size. Shall we enter the family size which we had been so for or the new upcoming one as of sponsoring parents?

I noted family size corresponding to the period as Parents sponsorship was irrelevant in those years

Can i ask an irrelevant question, my mom has super visa (she's not selected for the lottery) and has her annual insurance expiring in end Sept/beg. Oct. I want to take her to the states around September. does anyone know if we need to buy another insurance in order to come back to Canada? the insurance itself is more expensive than the trip unfortunately.

Does she plan to continue to stay in Canada? If so, wouldn't she need insurance anyway. Insurance is better than paying hospital bills in case anything happen.

Hello Everyone,
Another last stage quick question:

My parents sent me the signed files without validating and I was thinking I can use signed page from their file and rest of the pages I can print here but i have few concerns:
1. The page size they sent is different than regular, i believe they sent A4 ( 11.5 * 8.5) and we have paper size letter (11 * 8.5), so if I'm using one of the signed page from their file then it looks odd.
2. Since they printed the file without validating so forms like IMM 1344 is 7 pages for them and after validating its 8 pages so for me signed page header will say Page 7 of 8 and they signed page they sent me says Page 7 of 7 .

Please advise what should I do :

Option 1: use the signed page from them and print rest of the pages after validating even the signed page is of different size? and header says Page 7 of 7 ( I can use the whitener to change it to Page 7 of 8?)
Option 2: Go ahead with using the file sent by them even if it is not validated ?

Please help asap.

Thanks,

How does one check E-Case status for sponsor? I see in the excel sheet that everyone's status is "Application received" for sponsor.
