Hi all, congratulations for getting the parental sponsorship 2019 ITA. I am getting ready with my file and gathering all the required documents. I have couple of questions if you guys don't mind answering:-

1) Shall I hire a consultant to fill and support my application or do you guys think it is easy to do it yourself? I have gone through the guide and i found it easy to understand.

2) As per IRCC requirement, We need to submit marriage certificate of our parents. My parents got married in 70's in India and they don't have marriage certificate. What are the alternatives to marriage certificate?

I did some research and I am planning to submit following documents in place of marriage certificate:-

1) Affidavit from my mother
2) Affidavit from my father
3) Couple of affidavits from relatives who attended my parents marriage.

Do you guys think this will suffice?

I can not have a joint affidavit from my parents as my mother is in Canada on Supervisa and my dad in India. So, i am planning to have affidavit from my mother's side done in Canada and from my father's side done in India. Do you guys think this will work?

What other documents I can provide to IRCC in lieu of marriage certificate? Any suggestions will be appreciated.


3) As per IRCC requirement, I need to submit my birth certificate as well. I was born in early 80's and don't have birth certificate. I am planning to submit following documents in support of my application:-

1) 10th school certificate mentioning my name and my father's name.
2) Affidavit from my mother and father.
3) Affidavit from relatives.

What other documents I can provide to IRCC in lieu of birth certificate? Any suggestions will be appreciated.


Best of luck to everyone for their applications.

Thanks and regards

Yes. But the problem is she has to get it back before the Application submission deadline (i.e. Jun 28). For whatever reason, if Indian embassy screws up., her slot in 2019 is gone.
Right in that case just apply with your parents currently valid passport.
Then once u get AOR, apply for Passport renewal (in india).
Update Ircc via web form.
I hope that helps

2) Yes that will suffice.

3) Yes that will suffice.

Hi All,

Difficult to go through every single post here so apologies if it has been repeated, but on IMM5768, for Q14, the family size is before the parents are added right? So for example if I have always been single and by myself, sponsoring my parents, I will just denote '1' for family size for all of 4 rows of years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019-Present) right?
including parents all the way through
For you, if you are single all the way from 2016 to 2019

Would something like this suffice? I thought the EOI questions were really straightforward as it categorically defined what number to put where.

Explanation Letter – IMM5768


I would like to point out that for Question 14 which asks for employment history, under the ‘Family Size’ column, I have included my parents (2) who I am sponsoring via this application for the corresponding fields for each of 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019-Present in the sum of 3. This is because the application guide (Guide 5772) did not provide any clarity around it.


I remained a single individual without a common law partner/spouse, kids or any previously sponsored individuals during this period.



Thanks,
I included the below table on my explanation, sorry it appears different on excel but you got the idea.

2016 2017 2018 2019
PRINCIPAL 1 1 1 1
SPOUSE 1 1 1 1
SON 1 1 1 1
DAUGHTER 1 1 1 1
SPONSORED PARENTS 2 2 2 2
Total family size 6 6 6 6

Hi Folks,

By the way, I just checked my Fedex Tracking and I've noticed that my package was received by a different company handling the PGP PO BOX

The signature that I got is:
R.ELEMENT

Anyone else got the same one? I thought it was odd because is different from the name that I saw circulating before...

Anyone, I doubled checked the address and It seems fine, so now it's the waiting for the ECAS status update (hopefully by the end of the week if i'm one of the lucky ones !)

Hi guys,

On the form 5669, theres 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 shoukd I still list the travel history in that table? Or just one line as retired?

Appreciate your help. I'm confused as some people are talking aboutvtravel history.
