Hi,

My father have been convicted 3 years ago for an Infringement of a property (the conviction was just to pay a small amount of money), should he answer yes or no for the following question:

Have you ever been convicted of, or are you currently charged with, on trial, or party to a crime or offence, or subject of any criminal proceedings in any country ?

There is nothing that stops you from contacting them right now to ensure that your package is in the system at the “Prospect File” stage.

However, it will be a while before you get an official AoR. Not sure a year, but at least 1-2 months. That said, one person has actually already received an AoR. See timeline in my signature below. Its very random. Last year few people got AoR’s within 10-20 days. See 2018 timeline in the same file...
There is no need to contact someone when you paid for tracking and it just arrived. It needs to go through a normal processing process. Just be patient you know it got there.

Hello Folks

Is there any tutorial or other pictorial information available that exactly shows how the CIC portal looks like and how to fill the information once it is open to accept applications?

I am planning to sponsor my parents in 2020 and want to get myself familiar to the process as online access opens up only for 5-10 mins.
No guarantees it will be the same next year. Would guess chances are almost 100% that things will change.

This year, according to the Guide, the "new" way of calculating family size is to based on the number of family member in each year, be it increase (newborn) or decrease (decease). If this rule is applied (we are not sure how strict it will be), then you are certainly not qualified.
Check the Guide again, and if you have sometime, call the IRCC directly and ask. If you can talk to them and get some short of answer to your question, please post back here so the people who are in your similar situation would know too
I remember reading that in this year’s guide as well.

Yes most people benefit from the new way of counting family size because it often allows them to make less money for the first year or two but others will lose out by the new rules. It is the first year so nobody can guarantee.
He benefits as well since he had a new born in 2017.

Hi everyone, I need some help.

For the form IMM 0008DEP, I am sponsoring my mother who is a single mom (divorced) and I dont have any siblings, what do I put in that form? Can I just leave it blank?

Also, do I need to put my father's info anywhere it is asked, even if I am not sponsoring him?

Please advise. Thanks.
If your father is not being sponsored. There is no need for any details for him required.
It's only for.any dependents accompanying.

Hi,
I have a unique problem which I am trying my best to solve it but couldn’t yet. I need advice from all of you if you have any suggestion. I have submitted successfully interest to sponsor form but unfortunately not received email for invitation to apply though my reference number appears in successful list of invitations. I called agent yesterday, she confirmed that my reference number is in list. She sent me a link to web form to enquire and get the invitation letter but it takes 10 business days. I just met my Member Parliament, he too going to inquire on my behalf.
I tried twitter as well but no response.
My question is when they know that my reference number is in the list why they are not allowing to print it and send it with the application. Any suggestions


So you can see your confirmation number on the website but you didn't receive email yet. Do you remember What time did you submitted the form?

Guys, my mother and I screwed up and all we have as a proof of marriage is the original one from 2015 (so there is no proof they have not got divorced) and it has also not gone through Spanish Foreign Relationship Ministry nor the Ministry of Justice. We might not have enough time to get a new one ready. What do you guys think?

Got one more question for the experts. On form Background/Declaration (IMM 5669), my grandfather (person I am sponsoring) wrote his name (in cursive) and signed in the signature box. Would that be a problem? Should he have just signed it without adding his name?

Yes, he must, otherwise when police clearance is done and they found out, your application is at risk.
