Hi Guys,

Could you please help me on this matter. My parents are divorced but leave together. I want sponsor both of them. Should I submit any prove they are live together or, because I indicated I'm sponsoring both of them - it does not really matter? Both their names are indicated in my birth certificate, if it is crucial.

Thanks.

I am curious to the answer as well.

I have a similar question.
Submitted interest form on Jan which include both of my parents (married). However, I feel my mom may not be able to pass the medical exam.
So I wonder if my parents could get divorced so that I can sponsor them separately and hopefully I could at least bring my dad to Canada?

Any comments would be appreciated!

Unfortunately a divorce right before sponsorship raises red flags. You also filled in your EOI indicating 2 people. Who would care for your mother if he moved to Canada? This is the exact reason why you must apply for both parents.

Red flags.
These kind of applications either gets refused or it takes forever to get the final say from Immigration. Dont loose hope. Keep trying and provide the documents, they ask for.

they should provide marriage certificate or common-law form

Thanks for your replay but I could't agree with you.
 
Depending on when the applications are sent out you may want to count your baby versus updating information in 1-2 months. Will you meet LICO while you are on maternity leave? Something you need to consider when opting not to have a co-signer.
Yeah.. I wish it was me opting out on having a co-signer. It was my husband's decision - which really sucks as he is Canadian (born and raised) and would never need to depend on me to stay here but what can I do..

I know this is not the way to go around it but I am just hoping that ends meet - it is all I can do at this point.. I have made enough for a family of 4 in 2018 (barely) so I will just keep my fingers crossed that it will work out for next year too, maybe get a side job while I am on mat leave or something..

Please don't hate on me! I am a single kid with a mother that has no family left back home: I am doing EVERYTHING I can to bring her here so she won't age/die alone back home.

ok.. went through the guide again and got the answers for the IMM5409 and IMM0008dep - thank you so much!

Now for the IMM5406
Additional Family Information (IMM 5406)
This form must be completed by:
  • You, as the principal applicant,
  • Your spouse or common-law partner (whether accompanying you to Canada or not), and
  • Your dependent children aged 18 or over (whether accompanying you to Canada or not).
Is the husband who is not co-signing on this app filling one of these out, yes or no? This is probably obvious but I'd appreciate some guidance :)

@canuck78 you helped me with a related question a couple years back and you were so insightful.. your input is also appreciated!!

The Sponsor/Co-signer is not required to fill out the Additional Family Information form - this form is for the Applicant i.e. the person(s) that the Sponsor/Co-signer is sponsoring.

Hi everyone,
I am in unusual situation, not sure if someone can help me out.
My father has applied for Parent's Super Visa (Online) from New Delhi on April 13, 2019 for himself and my mother.
My mother has received the Submission Confirmation and Biometric Instruction Letter on April 15, 2019.
However my father has not received Submission Confirmation and BIL both till yet. He has got Application Number though updated in CIC account.
I assume Submission Confirmation is expected once you submit your application.
Is this normal that Submission Confirmation is delayed?
If not, then whom to contact?
