Question for IMM5768
2016, 2017,2018 - family size: SHOULD WE ADD THE PARENTS FOR THIS PERIOD? As we are just sponsoring them for this year and never part of previous years.
Any answer will be greatly appreciated.... Some info of other was very confusing in regards to that.
I will be adding parents

Example 3 from CIC Family size q
Ryan and Anne became common-law partners in 2017. They had a baby in 2018. Ryan wants to sponsor his grandmother and grandfather. Ryan’s grandparents don’t have any dependent children. Anne will be the co-signer.

If Ryan wants to sponsor his grandparents in 2019, Ryan and Anne (together) have to meet the income requirements for 2018, 2017 and 2016.

In 2016, Ryan’s family size was 3:

  • Ryan
  • his grandmother and grandfather
In 2017, Ryan’s family size was 4:

  • Ryan
  • his grandmother and grandfather
  • his partner, Anne
In 2018, Ryan’s family size was 5:

  • Ryan
  • his grandmother and grandfather
  • his partner, Anne
  • his baby
Even though Anne is only included in the family size in 2017, she has to provide her proof of income for 2018, 2017 and 2016, as she’s the co-signer on the application.

You must count you parents and dependents for all three years. My understanding is that only a spouse and/or a new baby will only count on the year they come into the picture.

Email them filled forms and they will print it and sign it then send you back by courier. Most courier companies takes 5 business days to deliver.
I emailing my parents the completed form, asking them to print the signature page only. That way the sign and then courier it along the other documents

Could you please explain what I could do if my parents don't have a marriage certificate?
They were married 37 years ago and they did not have certificates then. My dad is visiting me here in Canada next week.
It is a very long process to get the certificate done in India. What can I do, please help.
will my application be rejected?
In the document check list it is mentioned. Either marriage certificate or IMM 5409. I am asking my parents to apply marriage cert now. They would get in a week.

Same boat.. neither myself or my mom knows my grandpa's DOB and DOD. I typed an approximate date (01-01-1913 - guessing by looking at my grandma's DOB), validated form, printed tand wrote "approximate/unknown" on the box right next to it.
And on the IMM5406 form I typed UNKNOWN on the DOB and DOD fields. Hoping this will be sufficient...
I have same question. Dont know DOB for grand parents on both my parents side. What should we fill

only if the parents/ grand parents are living with you in 2016/17 and 18.
but in most of the cases, the parents are back home. So you shouldn't be adding them, thoughts ?
