Pre-Assessed..
I sent it via Xpresspost (canada post). it requires signature as well. If you send it in the morning it will be delivered by the next business day.
Just make sure you write the correct complete address.
Thanks Sara, If the address is a PO Box then who can sign for it? Wouldn't asking for signature make it impossible for the courier to deliver?

I mailed mine at a shoppers drug mart and I just asked the lady working there for a fast reliable and accurate mail which I can track it myself and she suggested the Xpresspost. I mailed it around 10:30 a.m. last Thursday and it was delivered on Friday around 7:30 a.m. and you can even see the signature of the person who received the package when you go on canadapost website. It costed me only $15 from Richmond Hill, ON.

Hello, I have a question and I would appreciate answers.

I applied for the parents sponsorship application for 2018, however for some reason I thought that the year I apply for is taken into the LICO three years. Apparently it is not, and during 2015 I took a year off to study French, however my income in 2016, 2017 and 2018 is CONSIDERABLY higher than the required to sponsor my parents.

My friends said since I got selected, and if I do not apply, this will severely harm my future chances at being re-selected -like next year-. Some suggested I apply with an explanation letter and request assessing me based on all the years going forward, just not 2015 because it was the only year I took off.

Any advice on how to proceed?
The only advise is to not submit your application, that will save your time and potentially give an opportunity to someone else who is elgible to sponsor. Also, if you don't apply this year, there won't be any negative effect or repercussions next year.

As long as the documents are in English, you do not need to get the photocopies notarized.

Hi my husband applied for his parents in December 2017. We got a letter from CIC that they need 2 forms for her mother with her original signature. One of the form is Additional Background check. Should we put her as the applicant and spouse will be offcourse his dad.
We have made his dad the main applicant though. Please guide.

Yes, she will be the applicant when she completes those forms even if she is not the principal applicant for the complete process

I am not entirely sure what you meant; But one suggestion I will give is not to change anything at this point, just provide the documents (with original signatures) IRCC has asked for.
