Have you been selected to sponsor for your parents from the lucky draw at the beginning of this year? If you are not selected, then you won't be able to sponsor your parents this time and have to wait until next round. If you are selected, congratulation. The passport of your parents should be...

For this year, IRCC would only send an email to the person who is selected. This is different than last year draw in which everyone who submitted the "Express of Interest" would receive an email which was either regret or invite. You can also check on the CIC website for your confirmation...

Congratulation. Among your parents, pick one to be the main applicant and the other would be dependant. There is no need to file 2 different forms for each of your parents. If your sibling is not financial dependant, then you do not need to count her/him in when calculating the family size...

From what I understand, your wife does not need to wait until your application is processed. If she is selected to sponsor her parents in the 2nd round this year or next year, she can put you as her co-signer. The only thing is that, both of you will need to meet the LICO for your current...

UCI (Unique Client ID) is for immigration officer use only, not for applicant.

I read somewhere in the CRA website that, once you are PR or Canadian citizen, all of your income regardless of inside Canada or outside Canada must be declared in the return. This is regarding as "world income" and should be reported on line 150. When filing tax return, ones is reporting how...

The thing is that the requirement says "live in Canada" and did not specify how many days? So in his situation, he was temporarily working in EU instead of living in EU and he could argue this? Not sure if IRCC could pull up his entry/exit from BSCA to determine how long (how many days) that he...

I can't answer your Q1 since I have co-signer. But I could think if I don't, there is no need to fill those out. Refer to the guide for more? Q2: My wife was unemployed (household job) for the first 3 months of the year, then worked for a Canadian company for 6 months and was again unemployed...

According to the requirement, there is no mention of the minimum of days of physical present of the sponsor in Canada, provided that you are either Canadian or Permanent resident. There is however, requirement of, "live in Canada" (see the Guide...

That is correct. IRCC aim to get 10,000 application so if they have not, there will be 2nd round And by the way, I read that this year, you only have 60 days to submit your complete application (if you are selected), instead of 90 days in last year. So the 2nd round should be around July-August...

Me too, yet to receive as well. Emails are sent over the next few days so keep checking your mailbox and spam folder too

I guess it is the way this lottery is... Even though I did not have any brother or sister living in Canada, I still think if you have a chance to sponsor for your parents, you should be allowed to do it. As a matter of facts, even though brothers or sisters, they are all independent individuals...

Not really. I am thinking that if CIC did not receive 10,000 applications, they would put the remaining into 2nd round...

I heard with the new lottery process, if you get selected, it would be much faster, like 12-24 months. The average of 40+ months is for clearing out the backlog in many previous years... But again I may be wrong...

Congratulation to both of you! However, only one of you (you choose) should apply to sponsor for your parents. And the other one of you would become an OPPORTUNITY for someone else in the SECOND ROUND!!! YAYAYA

I got selected, yet to receive any email... There would be few days to get the emails... And as far as I remember, the emails are for both regret/invite, however, according to the info page updated today: "...We will send confirmation emails to those who have been selected." and it did not...

What I understood from the instructions 1/ IRCC will remove all duplicates: if you apply more than once, they will remove all of your applications 2/ Once all the duplicates are removed, IRCC will use computer program to randomly pick 10,000 submission confirmation # 3/ Being randomly selected...

Last year, IRCC sent email on April 26 which is Wednesday. On the second round, Sept 6 was also Wednesday... Interesting heh...

Not necessary that the spouse must be a Canadian. What I understood here (and please others correct me) that you must prove your total income meets the requirement. In order to do this, the Notice of Assessment must show the total amount of money that you have earned in previous year. And this...

From what I know, and others will be helping you here as well 1/ Your family size will be determined by the time to plan to sponsor your parents. So, if you plan to get married this year 2018, then your family size in total would be 4 if you submit the application in 2019. And because of this...
