Hi Charlie, thanks for your reply. Now that I read it again, my explanation isn't so clear ;s Sorry. What I meant is, my mother and I are being sponsored by my brother. But my dad was never included in the applicaiton filed in 2008 by my brother, because our plans are my mom and I land there...

Hi everyone, I searched throught the website, but didn't find anything as specific as my question... My brother filed a Parent Sponsorship for my mother and I as a dependant child back in 2008. Recently we got our forms to fill out and I'm almost done. However, before sending them I have a very...

Yeah, most of most common questions are here already, just do an extensive search. And the guides that come with the forms are VERY detailed. Of course, we have doubts which are very specific, and that's when we should ask, but why not look first, right?

I believe you have to be in Canada in order to sponsor. But I might be wrong, I KNOW that you have to be in Canada to sponsor if you are a PR yourself. BTW, can anyone share their Parent Sponsorship timeline? It would be most appreciated, I'm very anxious ;(

If you need it, they will ask for a fee for you to pay or some information on the matter, if not, then they won't.

Nuzi, As far as I know, your age is locked in at the time of the first application (in your case, 2008), so you mustn't worry as long as you're still living with your parents and not married.

Well, I just assumed they would have to, since that's what usually happens in other cases of visit Visas. Besides, it says they'd have to prove they are financially "tied" to their country, that's just a nice way of saying that if you have no money, you may not get in.

Leenix, The forms and checklist are for YOUR PARENTS to fill. They fill it out, send to you and YOU send to the immigration.

Wow, that's pretty high. They have to prove a high income IN their country and so does their child/grandchild in Canada? ;/

If you or your parents ever intend to sponsor your sister, then yes, she should be on 008. If she's on 008, she needs to be on 5406 as well. And she needs to fill out the form for Background information for herself, even if she's not going with your parents this time.

Hello! My brother (sponsoring my mom and I, as a dependent child) got the letter, too. I've been gathering information like crazy because it really is very confusing. Just so you have an idea, I called the Embassy here in my homecountry (Brazil) and they didn't know what to tell me, I had to...

I may be wrong, but I think it's very unlikely for them to accept that. I'm not even sure if residents in Alberta can sponsor nephews/nieces, but in case they do, I think as sponsors they have to provide for you, which is shelter, food etc, so it doesn't matter if you live with your friend or...

Yes, AmericaninQuebec is right. According to the Family Class Sponsorship Manual at www .cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf (sorry, I'm not allowed to post links yet, but just copy/paste it and delete the space between www and .) Item 5.4 5.4. Lock-in age of dependent...

Some people seem to be confusing things... Super visa hasn't started yet. All those people getting letters now about the parent/grandparent sponsorship are still in the process of their sponsorship just the way it was before, with some minor changes. One of them is the fact that it's freakin'...

My brother got the letter, too. My mom and I are super excited because we were expecting to have news only in 2012. He also has to fill loads of paperwork, but he decided to get a representative so things would go smooth. They say it's better if we get the PCC to fasten up the process, so I...

Hm, I see. It's good to know that maybe I should be more careful about this. But wouldn't they consider me dependent even if I have lived all these years with my mother? I mean, I actually AM dependent on her anyway, there's no way I could live alone here, even if I worked (which I'm not at the...

Hi rouvie, Yeah, I heard about that. I have worked since then, but someone told us that as soon as they start working on our case it would be best for me to stop working and start some courses, so that's what I'll do :)

Oh, I see. Yeah, we thought it would be dangerous for him to stay here. He came to visit two years ago and stayed for 15 days, he's coming again in November, again for 15 days. He's got a stable job and an entire life there, I don't think that will be a problem. Either way, I'm gonna give a...

Well, I would stay as long as they allow me to stay, I wouldn't want anything to interfere with my sponsorship, right? Maybe if I tell them what's up and explain my situation, some nice immigration officer might help me :) He's with his wife, but it's all different, our family was always very...

Really? Oh my god, thank you so much for your response! I've been very scared about that, thank you, thank you, thank you! He's a PR, so he can't come and stay for more than a month then... Can I go as a Temporary Resident to be with him? Thing is he's been really depressed lately 'cause he's...
