Hi everyone.i have 2 questions. If any senior member can answer those i will be highly obliged.i am sponsoring my father and mother in 2017.(i got email from CIC on sep 6th that i was chosen from Re-draw )
Question1: as for 2017 applications, income will be assessed for 2014,2015 &2016. I am well over in 2015 & 2016. But 2014 was less. So i need a co signer(my wife) . Issue is if i do without co-signer family size is 5.(me+wife+son &father,mother whom i sponsoring) but if my wife becomes co signer does my family size remains 5 or it becomes 6 as she sponsored me in 2012.logicaly it should stay 5 as i should be counted as 1 not 2. But by reading CiC website i am confused as it says count the numbers for whom co signer is still under valid undertaking(which is me again).
Q2: my parents are not in Canada.they are in Pakistan. What is the best way to get papers signed by them and get documents from them. (Scanned copies can work or it has to be original forms mailed to canada)
I will appreciate your responses.thanks

1. 5
2. send forms by email, they will sign it and send you back by courier
so you need only original signature, better to use blue ink

Your family size os 5 whether your wife will co-sign or not. You+wife+son+mom+dad is a size of 5 no matter your wife is a cosigner or just part of your family. I am bot sure with the signature I think original signature is required...

so folks, I was lucky to get selected in 2nd round.
here is a brief on what are the things high level you need to do..

do through the application guide 5772 is details couple of times, it is pretty explicit on what is required.

I filled the forms and asked parent to take a print out and sign and courier it back to me.
photos as well.
principle applicant marriage certificate needed to be translated and followed the same steps mentioned in the application guide.

I had to get a notary done to certify my birthdate and relation to my parents. got it done through a local notary.
added a cover letter where appropriate.

Kindly add a entry in the tracker

details:
sthuse
India
P O Box
Application sent on 28th September ( submitted it late evening it is expected to shipped tomorrow)


let me know if any other info is needed!
cheers!

No. It won't allow you to link their application (won't even find the application when you try from your myCIC). It only works from account which has email id of the applicant.

Marriage can be registered any time after marriage in India. There are few formalities and supporting documents required(Wedding pics, etc). It will be very easy. My parents got married in 70s. They registered marriage couple of weeks ago.

Hi Balwinder,
Actually they are in Canada at this moment on visitor visa and don't have nay marriage pics etc to get it registered in India.
I am wondering in such cases is Affidavit is valid document or not? and if yes, then anyone have format for that.
Thanks

Hello, Today I received a letter from the Canadian Embassy in Mexico just to let me know that they created a file with the PR file.
"This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received at this office
on 06/30/2017. We have created a file with the application number provided above. You must quote
this application number in any future correspondence."
It also includes some other general information

Affidavit is only valid if you can't get certificate or document from issuing authority. If you can get document from issuing authority, affidavit is not acceptable .

 

[jadeja]

Thanks ottawa_ k

Added in sheet.

Once you start seeing your application as "Received" in Ecas, try linking it with your MY CIC account. You should be able to do that. This may take 30-40 days based on round 1 history.
