Hi,

I'm in the process of filling out the forms for my in-laws and have a doubt about a section in IMM-0008. It's asking to specify the national identity details. My in-laws are residents of Oman, but Indian citizens. They've been living in Oman for over 30 years. Which national identity details do I fill out here?

In the photo specification section it mentions “Your application will be rejected if your photos do not meet these specifications” . So, I am trying to make sure the specifications are met.
My parents have taken their photo at a studio back home. When I measure their photo, chin to crown without hair is less than 3.1 mm. Is the measurement from chin to crown with hair or without hair?

Hello everyone, good evening. Pls, I don't know if what i am asking for is what this platform helps to do? I have been reading through some of the submissions and talks about parents and sponsors, can anyone throw more light, please? I want to get over to Canada with my family from Nigeria, either myself first or with my family, can anyone here help? Can someone include me under his or her sponsor?

No the right thread as this is for the parents of PRs or Citizens who have received an invitation to apply for PR. It is through a lottery system. Post under General Immigration or professional immigration.

This is a FAMILY sponsorship section of the forum. Only family memebers can be sponsored.

If your immediate famliy is a PR or citizen of Canada, then they can see if they can sponsor you. No. Strangers cannot sponsor stranger.

If you applied in Feb 21, you applied throught the PGP 2020 program.
Check the discussion to see other ppl's timeline. But I've read that in general IRCC knows that it's hard to book biometrics appointment. Just notify them via webform (or email..I think...) what is the earliest ate you can make the appointment. I think most ppl don't have issue and IRCC allows a delay on that.

I don't see any part of IMM 5669 asking for relatives information????

Are you sure that's your question?
yes, this is what Form 5669 has ...

Before you get started
You (the principal applicant) must fill out this form for yourself and on behalf of any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
