Hi friends,

I am filling out the Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship form. IMM 5768. For Question 14 - employment history there is a column Family size. In 2015 and 2016 my family size was 3 and in 2017, family size was 4 because I had a new-born.

I am sponsoring my mom so the family size I am considering is 5. Should I put 5 all the way through 2015, 2016 and 2017 or keep the actual number of family size?

Thanks for your help in advance.

You are going to put 5 as the family size for all the years. It's primarily due to the reason that IRCC is going to consider your income on the basis of the current family size. Good Luck!

Hi cnonline,

I used the exact family size for any particular year, my son was born in mid 2016 so I had put 4 for 2015, then 5 for 16,17,18

thanks,

I have the same question that you answered and I am not sure what to put. Why they will ask you to copy the same information (future family size) in all years?

Also, it is not clear if I should provide my employment income (T4) or my NOA. If someone changed jobs in one year, how to split the income of the NOA between those jobs?

Hi maite,

I kind of gave my version about the family size in response to the question and for income i used t4 from that specific company for any particular year
e.g.

Jan 2015 to Jun 2015 --- T4 income from Company A
July 2015 to Dec 2015 --- T4 income from Company B
and if company is same after that then
Jan 2016 to Dec 2016 --- T4 income from Company B

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

On the basis of what I understood, IRCC is interested in knowing that how much money you made in a particular year. That's why I had considered the income mentioned in NOA. Perhaps, there is nothing wrong with using income mentioned in T4s, below link shows how I reported my income and family size:

Also, for the family size, IRCC did leave a room for confusion in this case, in the heading of the family size column, they should have written something like 'Family size in the reporting year'. But looking at the higher level, they are interested in knowing about your current family aize, therefore its better to put current family size in all columns.

This is where the room for err is, and it's really depended on how ones interpret it. For my situation, my own family is 3 (myself, wife and 1 child) so I put 3 in that particular column in question 14 and 17 (my wife co-sign), although I am sponsoring my parents (2 people). Someones would probably put 5 if they were in my situation?
So I would image if ones family has different number of people (new born child for example), they can indicate it differently?
But of course, our NOAed-income is sufficient to accommodate 5 people for all 3 previous years

When you completed a job, you will be issued a T4 by that particular employers. Since one can have 2 or more jobs during a given year, one would have more than one T4 at the end of the year, right? However, when you do your Tax filing, you ought to submit all of the T4s so that CRA would determine if you are paying too much (over pay) or too little (under pay) taxes. Then they (CRA) will finalize your annual income and issue a one and only final Notice of Assessment to indicate the total income you have earned in any given year. This is the proof of income that IRCC would like to know, I presume?
