Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[sababx]

The deadline for submission was December 6 so you should be fine.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/sponsor-parents-grandparents/apply.html

If you’re invited to apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents, there are 2 applications:

1. You must apply to become a sponsor.
2. Your parents or grandparents must apply for permanent residence.

My dad used the Portal to apply. We uploaded all the docs there. But why are they saying 2 applications?

when you apply online some documents needs to be signed by the sponsor ( in this case you as an example )and other by the applicant that is being sponsored and in this case applying for the permanent residency ( your parents as an example ),but its under one application where you need to gather all the forms and send it under the portel of permanent residency as the application is done online

Hi, I am trying to complete the imm5669 form. It says to type or print (I guess I can write then?). the instruction guide, it says write NA if not applicable but the on imm5669 forms, it's says to leave blank on say diploma certificate if you don't have any. So do I enter NA or leave blank? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi Friends. Has anyone on this Forum received an AOR for applications that are submitted. I saw some posts mentioning "ghost updates" where they got an email but no actual change on the portal. But has anyone received the Actual AOR so far? TIA

Perfect. Thank you for the reply.

So all I have to do now is wait!

Yes you can. Their application will be considered like any other visitor. They aren’t able to move to Canada until after getting PR so they will need to provide proof they have strong ties to their home country. Processing times can be 18-24 months so they may need to return home after 6+ months. A supervisa would probably be a better option.

Hi Everyone, this is not related to the application process but just wanted to see if anyone knows the answer to this:
Once our parents are here (God willing), are we able to add them as dependents in our work insurance coverage and as dependents for tax purposes?

sorry, i don't think so. but for the tax purpose, you can claim the dependent amount only if you meet the BOTH criteria below :
(1) you are Single
(2) you mom or dad is single (they are separated ? )

Your parents are not your dependants, so no. They need their own insurance and file their own tax returns.

Definitely not under your work extended insurance coverage. (In general term, parents are not part of your immediate family for most policy. They are their own family unit)
You better budget these out of your pocket expenses once they got their PR approved and move to Canada. (dental, RMT, physio...etc)
I think there is some tax deductable related to caregiving to parents if they live with you. But I don't know the details. It's better to consult with an accountant.

The new portal is faster with approvals
