Hi folks -- I have two questions.

1. the checklist mentions option C or NOA. Unlike the old guide, it omits the word "original". Is it OK to submit photocopy of NOA? If yes, would it help to get it notarized?

2. My parents do not have a marriage certificate, but I did get them to swear an affidavit that states that they are married? Would that suffice?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am missing my birth certificate and marriage certificate for my parents.

My both parents names are mentioned on my passport.

1) Could I use my passport copy instead of my birth certificate as a relationship proof?
2) What could I submit in place of my parents marriage certificate?

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Inder

Affidavit - of marriage, they are bound to ask that document ( if you read parents forum ), affidavits was acceptable but you should have prepared this in advance

Sorry, didn't get your response. Did you mean passport copy (showing both parents name) is an acceptable alternate for birth certificate? Or can high school certificate be submitted instead of birth certificate?
thanks

Posting my question again:-

If sponsor's birth certificate if not available, can passport copy (that contains name of both parents) be provided as proof of relationship?

Thanks,
Inder

Hi All!!
I am meeting the income requirement for 2011, 2012 and 2013. Getting short by $4000/- off the 2010 LICO of $53,557.
  • Do you think its even worth to try?
  • What's my financial risk if my application gets return? Are they going to forfeit $1040? Any idea?

thanks a ton

IMM 008 is additional dependents, bro, sis etc

Interestingly, if you see the option of dependent type, it say A, B, C - lol but they have remove that option, its only under 18 now so its a mistake by CIC I believe

From the list, select the type of dependant:

Type AThe dependant is under the age of 22 and is single (not married and not in a common-law relationship).Type BThe dependant has been continuously enrolled in and in attendance as a full‑time student at a post-secondary institution accredited by the relevant government authority and has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent either:
since before the age of 22, or
since marrying or entering into a common-law relationship (if it happened before the age of 22).
Type CThe dependant is 22 years of age or older, has depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22, and is unable to provide for himself or herself because of a medical condition
