Guys, please advise. I remember someone posted " Checked with CIC agent and IMM5768, family size we do not have to include our parents" . I am confused. Any advise
I am sponsoring my father and mother. So the family size is 2 (Me + wife) or 4 (Me+Wife+ Father +Mother) for Q 14 and 17
FAMILY SIZE: YOU (1) + WIFE(1) + Father(1) + Mother(1) = 4.

Write a note in your file also if you are still in doubt. It won't hurt.

I started contacting the number at 8 AM EST today. Kept trying for like 20 times and finally got an agent at 9 AM.
You will need to validate the form as its mentioned in the checklist. Put the 1900/01/01. Then you can do what am I am planning to do.
Hi
So you have to put a month and date, like 01/01 as proxy and must validate the form correct?. i.e can not send unvalidated form
if I may ask what are you planning to do? provide explanation note?

Thanks

My mother is here in Canada since March 2019 and she will be staying for 2 years under Supervisa status. She has a police clearance already on-hand.

WILL IT HARM IF I SUBMIT HER POLICE CLEARANCE ALONG THE APPLICATION? I know it's too early and not advisable - but weighing the advantage of providing it before the document expires (feb/2020), assuming also that there'll be no more changes on her police records since she's here in Canada already. Will it suffice if the IRCC will request it soon?

ANY DEPENDENTS WHO ARE LEGALLY HERE IN CANADA ARE EXEMPTED FOR BIOMETRICS, DID ANYONE STILL PAY FOR THE BIOMETRICS IN CASE OFFICERS WILL REQUEST SOON DUE TO UNCERTAIN REASONS?
Not a harm but IRCC might request a new one later because the instruction says that you do not need to submit PCC as that will be requested later on.

Yes. For validation, you will need to put the values. No choice as this form has to be validated.
Print it and then cancel the date. Initialize the field with the name and mention 'see attached'.
In extra note, refer to the field and the form name and mention the reason of you doing this as you had no option.
Tell them that you werent not able to find the exact month and day and only know the year. Simple explanation is required.

Can you add your spouse as a co-signer to the application? I didn't add my wife as a co-signer on the Interest Form. Wondering if I can still add her?
Yes you can. Co-signer is for income eligibility and I don't think so they have asked for the same at the time of interest form process.

No Police clearance, Biometric at this point of time. IRCC will request these documents at later stages.
Regarding documents , you need your mother passport copy, Birth certificate , marriage certificate(in case father is accompanying). You can check the document check list for more clarity.

IT SHOULD BE page from the form
Going by the form, it says "If additional space is required attach a separate sheet". Going by this, I created a custom word file and made a table like section C and filled the 2 extra family member's information & got it signed by my mother.

Can you please tell me if that ll be an issue? Or should I give my parents another copy of IMM 5406 form and fill Section C with extra info?

Is there any guild line for this somewhere? I ll really appreciate. Thanks.
