Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[salviDec2017]

Hi there,

Looking at the guide (in bold below) the IMM 0008 Dep form must be completed, I cannot find the exclusion "not included in the generic application....."

I am wondering if you just need to put NONE in the name box and sign it so they have the document included.

The following forms are to be completed, signed and submitted by the Principal Applicant:

• Generic Application Form for Canada [IMM 0008] (PDF, 553.83KB)
• Additional Dependants/Declaration [IMM 0008DEP] (PDF, 424.19KB)
• Schedule A – Background/Declaration [IMM 5669] (PDF, 434.14KB)
• Additional Family Information [IMM 5406] (PDF, 570KB)

If applicable the following:

• Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] (PDF, 648.31KB)

Its only required if number of dependent are more than 5. that you run out of space on generic application form.
clearly mentioned in the guide.

But the first row says "To Present". How did you handle that?

I wrote 2018-01-01 to present,rest they have our Sin number to get the information

They will ask for 2019 next year or pull the information themselves

Thanks, I have found that in the guide but I hate that there is a contradictory requirement that it has to be submitted rather than being listed under the option "if applicable the following".

Please can any comment on this

I had the same issue. I just removed the xo signer phone number . It’s anyways mentioned on other form so no issues

This will become a problem in the future, if not in the application stage.. My friend who got the PR and don't have last name came here and ended up changing his name in the passport through Indian consulate or else CIC won't issue him a PR card.. Last name is mandatory for CIC I think..

For application stage, you can call up the CIC agent and ask him what is the best course to take.

Just put the first name in the last name field. That's the solution.

Is anyone sending a COVER LETTER or simply the application form and the required documents ?

Just the invite letter PDF on top and then checklist and then all the forms and then the docs like Sponsor's PR card copy, Sponsor's birth certificate, Applicant's passport copy, etc. No cover letter.

My mother is here in Canada since March 2019 and she will be staying for 2 years under Supervisa status. She has a police clearance already on-hand.

WILL IT HARM IF I SUBMIT HER POLICE CLEARANCE ALONG THE APPLICATION? I know it's too early and not advisable - but weighing the advantage of providing it before the document expires (feb/2020), assuming also that there'll be no more changes on her police records since she's here in Canada already. Will it suffice if the IRCC will request it soon?

ANY DEPENDENTS WHO ARE LEGALLY HERE IN CANADA ARE EXEMPTED FOR BIOMETRICS, DID ANYONE STILL PAY FOR THE BIOMETRICS IN CASE OFFICERS WILL REQUEST SOON DUE TO UNCERTAIN REASONS?

i sent in the police clearance from our home country with oficial translation knowing full well they might request another one. i did not get one in Canada though as they will most likely ask for another after they review her file and the document checklist tells you not to send one.

yes, i paid for biometrics and mom is currently in Canada under super visa until Oct 2020. if she doesn't need it they can refund it or keep it for all i care: its $85, u are paying over $1000 for everything else.. why risk delaying the process? $85 is not worth it, imo.

so


Sorry to question your response (refers to Q14 on financial eval form - employment history)
Can you please share where on IRCC website it says that?
They already asked in the previous question about the number to determine minimum income. why would he ask the same again,
that too by year by year. 2016; 2017; 2018

I personally think its just (sponsor, your spouse, your dependents) . year by year as it changed. For example
2016 - sponsor
2017 - sponsor + spouse
2018 - sponsor + spouse + child (dependent)

Greatly appreciate some resource from IRCC for clarification.

I agree. The family size for those years must be the size of the family (dependents and spouse) of the sponsor within those years. In 2018 my parent were not living with me so my family size would be exclusive of who I am going to sponsor.

It clearly mentions no need to give biometrics:
Note: There is a temporary public policy exemption for in-Canada applicants. More specifically, foreign nationals who are eligible to apply from within Canada would normally provide their biometrics as part of an application or request for

• a temporary resident visa (TRV)
• a work permit or study permit
• a temporary resident permit
• permanent residence

However, since there is currently no biometric service delivery network within Canada, these applicants are exempt from the biometrics requirement until such time as the public policy is lifted. Applicants who apply from within Canada, but whose applications are not eligible to be processed from within Canada, are not covered under this public policy exemption. Those applicants are required to leave Canada in order to submit their biometrics as part of their application.

Hi everyone, happy to find this forum so I can ask my questions. So I'm filling IMM0008 for my parents, I'm confused about the "Dependent" section. Should I include all my sisters and brothers? or just the dependent children? according to definition of dependent child (in their website) is the one under 22 and financially dependent to my parents. But on top of the form it says "You must provide the following details about each of your family members". So Should I include my sister ho is over 22 and financially independent? "each of your family members" includes all children?

Does your sister have a mental condition? IF not, then they don't fall into the definition of the dependent child.

Fill out parents only in IMM0008. Dad as Principal applicant + mom as dependent (or vice versa).
You only need to put the people who you are sponsoring in this form.

Me and my spouse have been married for a year, and we are both signing the sponsorship of my parents, Do they accept our 2 revenues for the past 3 years even if we have been together only for a year ?

Great news, that will make life easier to keep track of the situation thanks!

Does anyone knows if AOR are still taking abour 20 days to be delivered after they get the docs ? I'm assuming that nobody has gotten an AOR this year yet, so it might be hard to have an idea....

No, it's not 20 days. It could be lesser or it could be more.
Here's why - When you submit an application very early within the 60-day deadline, officers have time to review it and send you AOR within days or few weeks (rarely months) since fewer applications are being received for the first week or two. But when the deadline approaches, more and more applications are received... it could be thousands within a day. So the bulk receipt of applications at this later stage slows down the review process. If you have submitted your application closer to the deadline, most of the time AORs are received after a few months - approx 2 months at a minimum and up to 4-6 months.

That's why people who know this trend rushed to submit their applications, just because it speeds up the process. Your parents can receive PR within 5 mos - 8 months of processing. This is taking into account that Medicals, PCCs, etc are submitted on time and that there are no other delays whatsoever.
