So, on the checklist there is a question that asks if I (The Sponsor) was previously sponsored myself. I was sponsored by my dad in the late 80s, however I am not on speaking terms with them. Does this impact my application in anyway?
Checklist - have you the sponsor ever been sponsored for PR

Not really. You have to answer truthfully, but this will not make you ineligible. The question is there because a sponsored spouse cannot sponsor a new spouse for five years after being sponsored. Your case is fine. Just tell the truth.
Thanks for the prompt response. Would it make sense to include a copy of my Citizen Card/Certificate as I believe I saw this as one of the documents to prove my Citizenship?
Note that if you immigrated with your family and became PRs at the same time, you were included as a dependent, not sponsored.
Hey, thank you so much for pointing that out. Ibelieve my form (its hand written from the late 80s) does mention the word dependent on it. I will need to confirm this, but if this is the case, would you recommend putting no? OR putting yes, and attaching a photocopy of the form that I have?
If you were a dependant, than you need to answer no. You weren't sponsored.
Ah, got it. I traveled with my mom. I will recheck the wording on my papers though.Well, some dependant can be sponsored after their parents became PR (non-accompanying).
But looks like OP was included as a dependant instead of being sponsored.
