In my case, I only know the year of birth of my grandparents (not even sponsoring them). I entered just the year in the date field, and the form auto filled Jan 1, <year>. I'm thinking of just submitting it as it is, perhaps with a note attached.

I wouldn't think it's a big deal.
It isn't a big deal but make sure that you do attach the letter of explanation.

I am planning on sponsoring my parents in 2018. From what i know , I will have to meet income requirements for 2014, 2015 and 2016 in order to file for my parents or I will have to meet income requirements for 2017, 2016 and 2015 and will have to maintain it through out the process.

1: Can you please tell me the income requirement for a family of 4 ?
2014 I was single and 2015 I was married, so will they count as 2014 ---> 1 Person, 2015 ---> 2, person, 2016 ----> 2 person

2: If I have self employment income, the CIC will look at the net income or the gross?
If someone has corporation and there is only one sole director so does it count company income too or just person salary taken from corporation.

3: One more question, if I use my brother income now as a co-signer but he is working in another country, to meet the income obligations for 2014 and 2015, will the income of my brother will be included or not?

My income:

56xxx $ 2016
37xxx $ 2015
15xxx $ 2014

I really will be thankful if someone answers above questions.

1. Family size of 4 in 3 previous tax years: You use only family size at time you submit the app.
2017 $59,426
2016 $58,768
2015 $57,642

2. Only personal income tax counts, line 150 of tax return. That is it.

3. Brother can't be a co-signer.
Only spouse can be a co-signer, and only with income earned while living in Canada.

You do not qualify. If you got selected in the lottery, you have wasted a spot. Why on earth didn't you read the rules before applying to lottery?? You even clicked a button that said you read the income requirements, and that you qualified. The qualifying criteria was very clearly explained.

Q1:
I have a family of three thats me, my spouse and a daugther. I am sponsoring my both parents that mom and dad. My younger bother also lives with my parents but i am not adding him in the form as a dependent.
I am the only sponsor. so in the form i am adding head count as

2. You = 1 (myself)
3. Current undertaking = 2 (mom and dad)
5. Spouse = 1
6. Every other family member = 1 (daughter)

So total = 5 people.​

Is it right?

Q2: If i am providing my SIN number with the application in the section 8. Then i don't need to fill and send IMM5728.
and with the application package i don't need to send my NOAs or employee salary letters etc.?

Q3. what finiancial documents should i send with the application.
back statements, affidavits, employement salary letter, proof of assets etc?

Q4. is there any requirement for sustaining minimum balace in my account to show? if required?

Q5: The documents so far i am adding witht he application package are
  1. My PR card (sponsor)
  2. My Birth certificate
  3. My passport
  4. My marriage certificate (although i think i don't need it but still adding it)
  5. My daughter passport (to show the proof of my dependent )
  6. My parents passports

You must include your brother in the application even if he will not be coming to Canada so family size is 6.

Sorry to hijack this, but this is a confusing part.
I have my birth certificate and parents marriage certificate translated with affidavit and notarized as required. But since the checklist is stating that only the *copies* of these documents to be sent, I am planning to send the photocopies of these documents including photocopies of the affidavits and notary stamps. But now I am in doubt that it will be acceptable.

i am planning to send the copies of the marriage certificate and the birth certificate but i am sending the original translation document and the affidavit for both.

what about any other documents that you are sending that are not in my list?
