I think they have slowed down Sponsorship approval process... Are they still busy with the second round people selection? Has anybody contacted them recently?

1. No, it will be requested later in the process.
2. Just the 2 photographs of the principal applicant (no need for accompanying dependant if any)
3. You will be able to update the new passport details once you have linked the application to myCIC. So for now just apply with current passport, and who knows you might get lucky and get process completed in 8-9 months.
4. Gather as much documents as possible with her name on it (as your mother) and also get one affidavit from you. I don't have any format but if you go to notary they know what should be written.

good luck !!

Hello, I have sent my application on 25th of July and they received on 26th July. Still no update from their end nor I can check Ecas or link my application. I am worried about what’s going on. Did anybody get response from cic yet whose application was received around the last week of July

I didn't notice anyone who submitted after 7/20 mentioning receiving an AOR so far. Seems things slowed down quite a bit starting third week of July. Might be due to the second round preparations.

Hi,

I submitted my parents application end of July as well and I haven't received anything as of net. My ecas is not working. I called cic today morning and the only thing they said was your application is not in process yet. So I am worried about application now. Please be in touch with any updates you have as we have same timeline.

Thanks

Hi,

Please help to update the sheet: ECAS changed to Decision Made on Sponsorship. No email yet.

We are residents of Quebec, so I think we should start on preparing the MICC documents.

Hello All,

Please help reply :-

1. As I understand , IMM5516E form - Income Sources for Sponsorship of Parents & GP is required only if I answer "NO " to Ques 8 of Financial Evaluation for P & GP's . If I answer "Yes" the financial information shall directly be taken from CRA.
What is the best approach here....

2. How'll I be able to determine Minimum Necessary Income - I'm a family of 3. I'm sponsoring my mother and don't have Co- signer in my application. My husband & I are employed , will my child be treated as dependent on me or my husband or I need to include both my child & husband as my dependant for the purpose of calculating Min. Income. My mom has no dependants.

Thanks !

My application was received on July 17th and it showed up (Received) on ecas on 2nd Oct. I might get the AOR email by this Friday. So don't worry, they have slowed down but haven't stopped...

1- There's no good or bad answer here. Either method will work so choose what you're most comfortable with.
2- You need to meet LICO for 4 people. The number doesn't change if your husband co-signs or not.

It's better to have a co-signer since IRCC could ask to recheck your income anytime until the visa is issued. If you fall below LICO in future for any reason, having a co-signer would be beneficial.
