Hi there
Can someone please provide me with the what the “intent to sponsor” form consists of? What type of info should I gather so that I have it ready for when the 2020 window opens.
How long does the window open for? I read somewhere it was 8 minutes in 2019?

Thanks so much
Zara

#1 Your father-in-law is considered as a dependant to your mother-in-law. Note the "including spouse" part.
He needs to be listed as such and counted toward the number of sponsored people (i.e. 2). This does not matter even if he has no intension to come to Canada. I hope you included him in your interest to sponsor form as well.

#2 you need to fill out a Representative form IMM 5476 using the most recent version. I recommend this route since your wife will have access to her mother's information/can troubleshoot on her mother's behalf, which is helpful especially if her English is not good.

#3 IMM 5406 needs to include your mother-in-law (principal applicant), your father-in-law (her spouse), her parents (your wife's grandparent) and her children (your wife and her sister) all on the same form. No other form is needed but all of the above must be listed. Did you do this?
Hello canvan14 - Thank you for the replies.

For
#1 we did not include him in an "interest to sponsor form" do you know what number IMM form that is?

#2 We will check over the form and resubmit so my wife can check on her mother's file.

#3 We thought that each had to have their own form. We will put her entire family on one form but it states "Each individual must sign their own
copy of this form by hand."
That would make me think they each need a separate IMM5406 as we had submitted one with all them on one sheet already?

Read the instruction guide. It's a very simple instruction to add non-accompanying spouse and siblings under 22.
... we did read the guide but there are contradictory statements in the application hence why I am on here asking for help and clarification. We understand now that her husband should be listed but she has no children under 22 so as its stands the way we think it works now is that only her and her husband should be listed on that part.

Can any one reply?
Do you mean sponsorship approval or AOR?
If you have not got the AOR (Acknowledgement of receipt), it should come soon.
If you are asking about Sponsorship approval, then you will have to wait for a few weeks, currently application from May 08-May 17 are in process and getting approvals.

Hi Members:
Has anyone done Medicals in the US, and if so how much did it cost? Is it a standard cost or does it differ by location?
My Mom will be doing the test in Minneapolis, anyone done the test there?
Thanks in advance.

Hello canvan14 - Thank you for the replies.

For
#1 we did not include him in an "interest to sponsor form" do you know what number IMM form that is?

#2 We will check over the form and resubmit so my wife can check on her mother's file.

#3 We thought that each had to have their own form. We will put her entire family on one form but it states "Each individual must sign their own
copy of this form by hand."
That would make me think they each need a separate IMM5406 as we had submitted one with all them on one sheet already?
1) Its ok if you did not include him on interest to sponsor form, as a lot of people didn’t do that and its not a problem. The interest to sponsor form asked only about principal applicant and not the dependents. But it was confusing so some people did add both parents some just PA. And its not an issue.

But now you have to send another copy of IMM008, where you need to add him as “non-accomoanying” dependent.
I am not sure about your wife, if you will have to add her and her sister, someone senior would be able to help you on that.
But as per my understanding, her sister is >22 years old, and your wife is a sponsor, so they won’t be included. But confirm this scenario with someone else too.

2) Yes, you should send the use of rep form, as it will allow your wife to get information on behalf of your mom. And she will be the one who will get all the correspondence on behalf of her mother. May be the initial one you sent, had something missing or an old version, probably that is why they asked for it again.

3). You are right, each have to have their own copy.
Your mother in law will fill in her copy with her being in the applicant column, then spouse (your FIL), her parents info, her children, and her siblings.
Then your father in law (even though non-accompanying) will fill in his copy with his details in applicant (the very top one) then spouse (your MIL) then his parents, then his children, then his siblings.

And for your wife and sister in law, again when you get a clarification on the first question, then you will get to know if you add then on IMM008, then they will have to fill this form too, but if they are not supposed to be on IMM008 in dependents (which i believe they are not supposed to), then no need to fill this form either.

And even though, your father in law will be non-accompanying, he will be counted in the family size to meet the income requirement.
So in this case your wife + you + your MIL + your FIL = 4 (assuming no kids)
