Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[robertp]

My application delivered to CIC Ottawa office as per Canada post online status on May 17 but i am not able to link it to my account, i get “no application found based in details provided”. Can somebody suggest something. My mother had Supervisa and father got visitor visa in 2016 but those application numbers and UCI doesn’t work because they are old. I didn’t receive AOR email yet either.

Please wait. To check online status current processing time is 4-6 week.

Hey All, I have had non-taxable long term disability income for the last two taxation years. Can I claim that as a source of income? And how? as it does not show in my NOA...

Totally Agree!

ANY permanent resident in USA can easily bring their parents to USA in 6 months. (no lottery or lineup or backlog)

Congress controls immigration programs so anti immigrant governments can't change programs. In Canada a conservative government halted this program for 2 years. one could reasonably argue that USA is more welcoming to immigrants despite having a nazi president.

I normally don't reply to posts but this one .......
Firstly, I'm not sure if it is that easy to get a US green card. Secondly, there are many tax implications, one of them being that the US taxes it's citizens and green card holders on their worldwide income no matter where you live. Your green card comes with a hefty price tag. Thirdly, Canada is a REALLY nice place and a welcoming country. It's an honor to be here.

1- i'd count him in 2016 and 2017
2- u don't have to, but it is a great idea to send it as they will most likely ask for it later
3- use line 150 from ur NOA

ur bro is a resident here or is he just visiting?

u dont count your dad in family count as hes not alive to prove this you will have to attach his death certificate. plz state correct facts.

Hi Guys,

I have a question regarding IMM576. I am sponsoring my mother. My brother ( age 21 ) is already here in Canada with me. My father passed away in 2017.
1. Do I need to count my father in family size for question 14 on imm576. Right now i Just put the family size 2 for 2016, 2017 and 2018.

2. Also, Do I need to add my fathers death certificate ?

3. In 2018, I got injured at job and was off work for 1 week. but I got paid by WSIB. Not sure where to add that income.

Thank you all!!

dead and divorced members are excluded from family count for previous 3 years! hope this helps. Make sure you attach a proof of yours fathers death like a certificate to prevent any delays in processing if you dont add it now they will ask it at a lter stage causing delays

3) IMM 0008 : This is for dependent info. Currently my mother came in Canada as Visitor and she is here till Aud month, so should i put country of residence as Canada or her home country
4) 5669 : The info is for personal details Given Name and Last Name, my father complete name as per passport come in Given Name, so for all other form i was putting complete name in Last Name, but for this form Given Name is mandatory, should i repeat the same last name in Given name and give letter of explaination or should i put Given Name as Not applicable

As someone who just went through this process, I have to say your knowledge is dated.
My brother (in US since 1991, now a US citizen) sponsored my mom in Aug 2017. Got approval in March 2019. So the process which indeed used to take 4-6 months has lengthened. Along the way they made the process difficult for him, asked for more & more supporting docs (none of which were originally specified). Finally got it through, with the help of a lawyer who charged US$5,000.
The big difference which you don't mention is of course free health care here in Canada. For my mom medical insurance in the US ranges from US$1,000 to US$2,000 a month depending on the reputation of the company and how easy it is to get them to pay up. Which is why there is such a rush to sponsor the aged to come here, of course. World class health care for people who haven't paid into the system.

I think your information is not correct it depends upon case to case , My sister is also US citizen and my mom got the Green card in 6 month . Every one is denying but only the free health care is the driver for PGP program. If tomorrow policy changes and health care included in sponsorship undertaking . PGP will be dead and no one apply

Unless it is from maternity leave EI does not count for LICO.

No that’s not true, sickness benefits are considered as income . If it is taxable , it is income
