3 Things that people are asking here over and over without seeing previous replies (has been answered before):
1. Q15 Employment History of Financial Evaluation Form (IMM5768)
We made a big fuss about it last year. In fact, I called CIC few times to clarify. Clearly, the heading says "Income for last 3 taxation years" which means 2012-2014; but the word "Present" in first column confuses you. So, I broke it down to 3 rows, each representing a year which corresponds to my income shown in my NOA line 150. Keep the same format (3 rows) even if you worked with same employer. For 2016 applicants, this should look like this:
For same employer
From To Employer Address Phone Gross Income Family Size
2014-01-01 Present Company A 123 123 2014 NOA Line 150 5
2013-01-01 2013-12-31 Company A 123 123 2013 NOA Line 150 5
2012-01-01 2012-12-31 Company A 123 123 2012 NOA Line 150 5
For multiple employers
From To Employer Address Phone Gross Income Family Size
2014-01-01 Present Company A 123 123 2014 NOA Line 150 5
2013-07-01 2013-12-31 Company A 123 123 2013 T4 (Company A) 5
2013-01-01 2013-06-30 Company B 456 456 2013 T4 (Company B) 5
2012-01-01 2012-12-31 Company B 456 456 2012 NOA Line 150 5
* Make sure both T4's add up to the total income stated for your 2013 NOA
2. Q15 Family Size of Financial Evaluation Form (IMM5768)
The full family meaning Sponsor's family + Parents + Dep. For above example, it's 5 (husband+wife+1 kid+father+mother). Even if you were single in 2012, got married in 2013 and had a kid in 2014; you shouldn't bother writing different numbers in family size.
3. What courier service should you use?
Well, I answered it in my original post. No one can absolutely guarantee one specific courier company that you can reply on. CanadaPost has proved to be the most inefficient last year. Local express service in GTA did well in 2015. But I assume more people this year will be interested in using them. Out of UPS, Purolator and Fedex, the latter seems better to me. But this subject can still be discussed among you.
