I have a question about family class sponsorship for parents. In the checklist (IMM 5771E) it has been stated under supported document that the marriage certificate is the proof for principal applicant’s relationship to an accompanying spouse. My parents were married in 70’s and do not have a marriage certificate. To apply for new one both parent should be available in India. Currently, my mom is with me and my dad is in India so applying for the marriage certificate is not possible without mom . Will below one or all will support instead of the marriage certificate for parents sponsorship supporting document ?
1. My mother passport has father's name as spouse
2.My birth certificate shows my mother and fathers name
3.My passport has mother and father name

please help me understand if it is possible to apply for parents sponsorship without the marriage certificate of my parents with alternate document showing my parents name



Thanks in Advance !

Unfortunately none of those documents show their marriage. I'd suggest waiting until you have the marriage certificate.

I am guessing no, but you can always call CIC to ask: 1-888-242-2100.
