Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[canuck78]

May be I am wrong but I read that you have to maintain your income until PR approved. So just in future if my income decreased

Yes you have to maintain income for 2019. Your income could be verified for 2019.

Hello there, I initially sent interest for sponsorship for my mother and grandmother. My mother has 2 dependents, (my sister and brother who both check out as dependents) can I also apply for them even though I only listed my mother and grandmother's and come with them if and when approved?
How do you also go about the principal application? Is it ok to have them signed the forms and then I will have them send it to me to fill out?
Thanks!

Did you have you mother and her dependents on one application and your grandmother on the other one?

Hello there, I am in a same boat. do you think we should reach out to an authorized consultant and get the paid consultation ? we can split fee , i just don't want to mess up the application for a few dollars.. I think there are some other questions in the application that are a bit confusing.. let me know. Thanks

Pretty simple. What did you pay yourself? Normally business owners pay themselves the lowest salary possible to take advantage of the corporate tax rate. In this case you could pay yourself too little to qualify for PGP.

Hi,
My wife and I are both sponsoring our parents and are co-sponsors in each other's applications.
The financial form asks to list our gross incomes for 3 consecutive taxation years.
The thing is, my wife and I were both self-employed in 2016-2017.
She's basically done bookkeeping for my self-employed business.
For example, say I earned 100k in 2016.
30k were listed as booking expenses and as my wife's gross income.
Since the financial form asks for our gross income only, I would list 100 and she would list 30 and it'd look as though together we earned 130k whereas it isn't really the case if you look at net income.

Technically, my income should suffice for both of our applications for all 3 years and they will have full access to my tax returns to confirm everything is in order. Do you think I should include a letter of explanation just in case?

Thanks!

What did you pay yourself not what you kept in your business. Whatever is on your personal tax records line 150.

Question: My mother has passed away 3 years ago, do I need to mention her details in Dependent section on Generic Application IMM0008?

All i can to all of u not to rush to send in your application , you guyz have enough time plz check for mistakes before sending the application , incomplete applications will be returned and you will loose your spot and time.

The more mistakes and rejections the better for those who are careful and qualify.

It's a competition guys. Too bad so sad.

@canuck78: Can you please help me with the below question?

I wonder if someone agrees with me on this

IM5768,
Question 11: Your pouseor common law partner, if he/she is NOT co-signing: I put Not applicable as my wife is a co-signer

QUESTION 12: I include my two kids (under 10)

I am assuming those who have kids and wife as co-signer would do the same thing?

The guideline is not asking you for documents. Did they not have any education at all?

Thanks for your reply. They have education but I do not have documents, it’s lost

 

[nguyentu2001]

Yes same. Agree with you.

thank you! its always good to confirm our understanding.
This is why I am taking my time to fill out the application.

How do I know whether I sponsored my wife for her PR back in 2014? I applied for PR under under Provincial Nominee Program in 2013 before I got married. I got married while my PR application was being processed. Then I added my wife to my PR application in 2014. Does this mean I sponsored my wife? Is there any way to know from any documents such as COPR (conformation of permanent residence)?
I am asking this question because I need to answer the following question in form IMM5768e for my parents' PR application?
Number of persons included in previous undertakings you signed as a sponsor?
