Parent sponsorship - For 4 Jan 2016 - Date of signature?

[Porus]

Hi,

I am sponsoring my parents, & will submit the Forms on 4 Jan 2016.

What date should I use on the signature box?

Is it ok if I get them to sign & date now?
Or do the CRA prefer signatures closer to the date? In which case I will tell them to sign & date 15 days later & then express-courier to me for me to submit on time.

Thanks

The updated forms are likely to be released only close to the end of the year, in preparation for the January 2016 intake. You may find that any forms that you get signed now will be obsolete and be rejected.

Two main forms were already updated last month. Most of us suspect that's all the updates that are going to happen this year.
