Got the invitation today to submit the application for my parents. They do not have their marriage certificate though. Has anyone here submitted an affidavit in lieu of the marriage certificate? I have seen some older threads that appear to suggest it works but just wondering if anyone has done this recently.

I do not have the answer but I have seen this question asked many many times... Try to search on the forum. (try the 2017 PGP discussion)

Your post is very confusing.
Can you post the number of family member you have now? (you, wife, dependent children) And did you get picked for the interest to sponsor your parents?

This question should be asked before you submit the interested to apply!!!

Yes my bro has been picked to sponsor in the second lot yesterday. Thr family includes just him and his wife with no kids and now he wants to sponsor my/his mom and Dad so we want to know if in 2015,2016 and 2017 LICO should we include the parents when we calculate the number of persons or is it just him and his wife for the number of persons to be calculated

I haven't received the email from CIC yet. Just found out my confirmation number on the list.
Have they sent confirmation emails to a lot of applicant already?
Found my number on the list as well, but no confirmation email as yet. I am still soo happy, I have been waiting since 2016. Congratulations to you and your family.

So the total number is 4: your bro, his wife, mom and dad.

Hello,

I got an AOR Today to apply for my parents and Grandparents sponsorship.

I have couple of questions.

  • The confirmation number used to track the form, does this implies if i filled only my dad name in online form , i can only apply for my dad now ?
    • But actually the AOR doesn't mention any name specific and it only tells you to upload documents for your parents. So i am assuming that i can submit the application package for my mom and dad both in this AOR , right ?
  • Second question is , For 2015 When i started my job, my LICO is 3,000 less than requirement of 3 people but satisfying for 2. Is it going to be the reason to reject one of my applicant in parents. ? As i can still sponsor 2 People (Me and my dad ) right ? My other years are way higher more than 100k.
  • Third is, I drove uber during 2015 and never reported that income because i was unaware of the process and they were not issuing T4 at that time. If i can re-asses my 2015 NOA it will satisfy the LICO requirement of 2015. Did anyone did that before ? Is it considered.
I just dont want to lose the chance of sponsoring both with 3000 less in one year LICO requirement.

Also, i want to know the online submission process if any one has link to it . Is it same as Express Entry Document Upload like we use to do with GC Key.

Congrats to those who got lucky to be winner of the lottery in 2nd draw.

below is total count:

starting with 0 = 846
starting with 1 = 827
starting with 2 = 852
starting with 3 = 823
starting with 4 = 933
starting with 5 = 840
starting with 6 = 843
starting with 7 = 865
starting with 8 = 838
starting with 9 = 833
Total 8500

the first draw was of 15000 people, the quota is only 10,000.
it means that CIC was not able to fill up the quota of 10K people out of 15K, so they announced more 8500 on 31st July.
LICO is so simple, but still complicated for people to understand.
Although so many times in this forum people have tried their best to explain.
I have seen people asking for the LICO after winning the lottery.
what can we do :)

I received an email today, I guess I was selected in the second batch :)
I have few questions; getting headache just looking at the forms guess I'm not used to filling out CIC forms anymore.


My parent is back in my home country, so the application has to be mailed to Canada from my home country?
As a sponsor, Do i have to mailed my signed part to them in my home country.
so scanned copy is allowed?


Is it faster to give CIC my SIN or submit the tax information myself.

Thanks
