Hi folks,
I recently started prepping sponsorship PR apps for my parents. I have a few questions that are not clarified in the 2002 intake guide 5772 (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html), and I was not able to find answers in this forum. Please, provide as detailed info as you could. I know this is a long one - I really appreciate your help!
Background:
- My father and mother are divorced (yes, two separate apps);
- I'm the only child;
- My father married after the divorce. This new marriage occurred over 3 yrs ago. There's been no change to his marriage status since then. As a result, now I have a step mom and a step sis;
- My mother stayed divorced;
- Step mom and step sis have no intention to migrate to Canada, ever. If they are to visit here, they will apply for tourist VISAs;
- I intend to sponsor only my father and mother under family class PGP PR program;
- I'm representing my parents, step mom, and step sis (yes, 4 IMM5476 filled).
Questions
1. There's a rep portal for licensed reps (https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/rep/login), but since I'm a non-licensed, unpaid family member acting as the rep, is there a different rep portal for my case? Or, do I just use the Permanent Resident Portal (https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login)?
2. Once the portal to use is determined, can I submit both applications in that portal under one account , or do I have to register two different accounts, then one at a time, log into the portal with one account and submit one app?
3. Calculating total family size - For my father's application, the family size in IMM5768 is 4 (father, step mom, step sis, me); For my mother's app, the family size is 2 (mother, me). Since I'm submitting both applications at the same time, will my income for the past three years be assessed for 5 (hopefully), or 6 people?
4. My income for the past three years was enough for 5 people (father, mother, step mom, step sis, me). But, how/where do I indicate that I'm ONLY sponsoring father and mother? Step mom and step sis have no intention to move to here at all.
5. If instead, I decide to only sponsor one parent total at this time. How soon will I be able to sponsor another parent? Can I keep this unused slot for the other parent for future use, or will I have to go through the intention to sponsor application, followed by prized draw again to be eligible?
6. lastly, IMM5476 is for applicant to designate, discontinue, or change representatives. But the below statement seems to indicate that the sponsor has to fill it for themselves too; however this form literally does not apply to sponsors?

- If using an authorized representative, this form must be provided by both the sponsor and the principal applicant. For sponsorship applications, you must complete and provide separate forms for the sponsor and principal applicant.
