My mother has Cataract in one eye. The doctor advised her to not to go for surgery for now. He basically said its not worse enough for a surgery at this moment.

Will this be an issue for her medical?
Should we get the surgery before the medical?

Please advice, Thanks!

We got the invitation to apply for parents sponsorship program. We are applying for my wife mother.
Here is the situation- In my wife passport - mother name has a letter extra in her first name and mothers passport name is correct which doesn't have that extra character.

My wife do have birth certificate with extra character and without extra character. Still it wont serve the purpose as cic will be looking mothers passport with my wife passport. then the mismatch will be clearly visible.

What should we do in this cases? an Affidavit will do? if anyone has gone through this scenario? anyone has a template on the notary letter format? Please advise

Hi,
I'm going to submit my package for 2019. I noticed some 2018 applicants were asked for travel form. So did the IRCC asked you to submit the form 5562 after you submitted initially? Should I include it in my package upfront even though not requested in the checklist?
Appreciate your feedback.

I don't think so you need to unless it's listed on "document checklist"

Thanks for your reply.

Do you mean you guys sent a travel form initially last year and IRCC sometimes asked for an updated form?
There is no travel form required as per the checklist. On the form 5669, there's a question asking for principle applicant's employment history. It says "if not employed" then provide something else like traveling, retired etc.

My parents were retired for the past 10 years, so should I still list the travel history in that table? Or just one line as retired? should I provide the travel form even though not requested in the checklist?

Appreciate your help.
