Hi Everyone,

My mother has one name but she has used other name in the past which is on my birth certificate. While applying for visitor visa we did not attach any affidavit but mentioned while filling form that she has used other name in the past. In general , i don't think i need to attach affidavit, since i have already mentioned now as well regarding her other name and they have not asked any supporting docs for this in the form as well for this case.. I believe if they need anything they ll ask for it, instead of me making this look like big issue. What are your suggestions..?

Thanks

Please advise.
For IMM5768, Q14 I filled like the following

2019-01-01 Present Company: ABC Gross Income : "Say $10000 (Jan to April)" Family Size 4
2018-01-01 2018-12-31 Company: ABC Gross Income : $55000 (NOA line 150) Family Size 4
2017-01-01 2017-12-31 Company: ABC Gross Income : $55000 (NOA line 150) Family Size 4
2016-06-05 2016-12-31 Company: ABC Gross Income : $35000 (NOA line 101) Family Size 4
2016-01-01 2016-06-04 Self Employed Gross Income : $1000 (NOA line 135) Family Size 4

In 2016 June 5th I started with Company ABC , still working and before I was Self employed (sole proprietor). So I separately entered one for ABC and other for Self employment. For 2016 gross income for ABC I just used the Employment income (Line 101) and for Self employment used the Business income (Line 135)
I am sponsoring my father and mother, my wife is co-signing. So for family size I entered 4 (Me+Wife+Father+Mother)

Please advise, the above are correct or not.
Much appreciated.

Hey I started my corporation this year so what should I write in gross income field?

$1040 each. Both parents will be $1040 x 2. Also better to add on biometric fee to avoid any application delay.
Sure,one more questions. Will be appreciated if you or anyone else can answer...when filling out the expression of interest form I did not add any depends. I am wondering if i can send the application for a dependent aswell ? I do meet the income requirements for all the applicants including dependent.

Thanks

There is an ongoing debate between what to put in family size for past 3 years in that form. I opted to include my parent in the family size for past 3 year and explicitly mentioned that I am doing so in the explanation letter. Hope that will make things clear for officer to analyze.
Thanks for your response. I wonder if we could use one Explanation letter for all forms ? I have some exceptions that I want to explain the letter, could we attach one explanation letter for all forms or we need to attach multiple explanation letters one for each form.

Hi Guys! I have few queries if someone can help.
I was invited to apply PR for my mother this year. I only put her name in the interest form since my father didn't wanted to come to canada permanently right now and he has supervisa just being granted to him for 9 years, and my mom is already in Canada on super visa. I got married in 2017 Jan. And I meet the income requirements as follows.
2016 (52k - 3 persons) - me. My mom and dad
2017 (59.7k - 4 persons) got married in Jan ( me, my wife and my parents)
2018 (72k - 4 persons) me , my wife and my parents..

Btw my wife has got her passport back from Canadian vac just yesterday ( got the or application approved) and she will come to Canada in june.

Now my questions are
1) I am right in beliving that in 2016 I don't need to be above lico for 4 persons since I was not married in that year?

2) do I have to apply PR for only my mother since it was only her name in the Interest to sponsor form or I can apply for both my mom and dad?

3) I can add my father as a dependent of my mom in the application even though he is the earning entity in the house and my mother is a housewife?

4)my parents don't have marriage certificate as they were married in 1980 and never needed it. What can I do? They only have nikkah nama!
Sorry to say but size of the family has to be applied on all previous years.
