I expect a flurry of posts like the one above soon.
People claiming that they actually don't meet the LICO cut-offs AFTER they've been invited.

These guys totally don't realise that they've snatched the opportunity away from someone who probably had this.

I wish them the best, but certainly won't be helping them... and suggest no one else on the forum helps them either.

The rules are there for a level playing field & are made clear to every one right from the start.

This is the reason I suggest that people who are invited to apply, but then don't actually meet the criteria should be fined & barred for a certain period from applying again.
100 % agree

Hello folks, for the Form IMM1344 - There are two options in the Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking: a) Withdraw your sponsorship Application. All processing fees less $75 will be refunded. b) Proceed with the application for permanent residence. Processing fees will be retained. Which of the two options is advisable for my parents?

Also for sponsor, there are only two forms to be uploaded, am i correct? one form is IMM1344 Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking and second form is IMM5768 Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship?

Thanks
I have chosen Option B

When Processing application for parents, What if my parents don't have birth certificates? Are they mandatory? Can an affidavit work instead?

No, it is not OK. You do not meet the income requirements.
Co-signer won't help.
You being a student or not is irrelevant to the matter at hand - your cut-off income requirements were not met.

I don't think there were too many invitations issues yesterday.
Friday & Thursday seemed to be the busiest days.

Let's hope, wait & pray that we get what we're looking for.

No. Take a look at the application guide.
They need to pass medical, crimial and background check. IRCC will also look at the sponsor's income. (and likely RO as eligibility)
Ok, sure. So that would mean as long as there are no problems with those three issues, they would have no reason to reject it then?

No you do not meet the income requirements and you should not have applied. You took a chance away from someone that actually is eligible.

People like this should be fined for not READING THE RULES before applying.

Bit curious, you submitted your EoI knowing you do not meet the income requirement in the year 2018? It seems so you did. For 2020 one can understand, as for some of us things might have changed after submission of EoI (during the month of Oct-Dec, 2020). But for 2018, we should have known our family size, income, and other requirements when/before submitting EoI.

Now you have already submitted your EoI and gotten the invitation, lucky you, why do not you just apply and take a risk. It seems that you have enough time (based on the fact that you spare time to fill and submit EoI even though you are/were not eligible) as well as have a courage to take a risk (based on the fact that you lied by signing EoI confirming that you understood and meet the requirements).

I know I am being impolite here using the word "lied". Below is what you and we all signed while submitting EoI. So at the time of submitting EoI either you did not read/understood the requirements or understood it but ignored that fact that you do not meet. Either way, by signing you lied.

Yes, I understand yours situation is tricky. IRCC has not cleared regarding from when you can count your spouse as family members/co-signer. Is it for all three previous income years, even though you were not partner in at least one of those years?

They have example for new born but not for spousal. That is the main reason, I suggested you to apply and take a chance. You are a lucky one among many of us, so its best to take a chance when the outcome is the possibility to get united with your parents. Best of luck though.

Hello Folks, was hoping to get some guidance and help with a couple of issues I am facing with the affidavit/format(s):

A) Parents Marriage Affidavit Format(don’t have the marriage registration certificate from India)
B) Parents DOB Unavailable(affidavit/undertaking format)

Would you guys be able to help me out with the above ? If available, you can email me the format(s) on deltalogisticsedmonton@gmail.com

Thanks in advance.

You are eligible. It does not matter when you got married. This is what the cic website states regarding co-signers.


Who can be my co-signer on my application to sponsor my parents and grandparents?
To help you meet the income requirement to sponsor your parents and grandparents, your co-signer can be your:
Regardless of how long you’ve been married or in a common-law relationship:
  • your spouse or common-law partner can be your co-signer
  • your co-signer must provide proof of income for the last 3 taxation years before the date of your application
