Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[canada.msn]

Quick question:
I got a notification to the linked account related to sponsorship of PR for my parents asking for additional documentation. I uploaded the documents required by IRCC through the linked account. After uploading the required documents, the website asks electronic signature. My question is - who should sign it. Is it Principal Applicant (in this case my Mother) *or* is it me ? I'm the one who linked the PGP application of my parents to my online IRCC id.

It should be Principal Applicant. If you are the representative and you submitted the representative form with the application earlier - then it can be you.

Hi Everyone,

I really need some help. I completed the documents and sent it to IRCC for validation. The first time they sent out an email requesting for IMM 5406, I completed it and sent it back to IRCC.
After few months later they have requested again for IMM 5669 & IMM 5406.
So please let me know what I might be doing wrong. My father is deceased, I'm only submitting the application for my mom. My sister is not dependent on me or my mom.

Should both my mom and I should submit IMM 5669 ? I'm still not sure why they are sending back IMM 5406 .

Content of the email that I received from IRCC :

This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted to this office on behalf of
xxxxxxxxx and family (if applicable). We are not able to process your application as it is incomplete.
After a preliminary review of your application, the following has been deemed required:

> Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM
5669) bearing an original signature. Please ensure that all questions under #4 a) through k) are answered and
you leave NO gaps in information. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/eIMM5669E.pdf
Note: There is a new version of the form IMM 5669 Schedule A- Background/Declaration available on IRCC’s
website that is meant to be completed electronically, validated and printed. Please ensure that you sign the
form by hand once it has been printed.

This must be received at this office by: 2022/07/03
> Additional Family Info IMM5406: A separate and newly completed Additional Family Information form
(IMM5406) bearing original signatures. Please ensure to complete section A, section B and section C as
applicable. Be sure to not leave any fields blank or incomplete.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5406E.pdf
This must be received at this office by: 2022/07/03

Please help me.

Two possibilities: 1. they have questions about your family structure (you missed out a dependant) or 2. your forms are missing information.
I suspect the 2nd is the key. Nonetheless you can address the two points together.

First thing you need to check IMM0008. this is the foundation of all other forms.
If you don't have a record of what you submitted, include a short letter of explanation to introduce your family structure, just like what you posted:

My father is deceased, I'm only submitting the application for my mom. My sister is not dependent on me or my mom.

Note that:

• If you are only sponsoring one parent or grandparent because the other is deceased, you don’t need to include a marriage certificate. You should include a letter explaining the situation, as well as the deceased parent’s death certificate.

Then move on to the 2 forms. According to your family structure, 2 forms should only be filled from PA's perspective. So one 5406 for your mother's family structure (your mom's spouse, parents, siblings, children) and one 5669 for your mother's background (education, work, service, etc). Download the latest forms and fill everything carefully. Some points to note:
1. For deceased person they want to see date and city in address line. "Deceased in City, Country on d-m-y"
2. Don't leave anything blank, like emails, type "not applicable" if you don't know.
3. All names in both English and Native language
4. Don't leave gaps in time in IMM5669.

Make sure your mother sign the 2 forms and you sign the letter of explanation, both should be dated as current.

I am continuously trying to login to GC Key but its the same thing. I login and there is this password window and I click on 'continue to Canada Immi site' and then again login to GC key and the same window again. It's like cycle goes on and on.

I think I have to wait for few more days?

Or you can try it on another computer.
Whenever this happens I just use another computer or laptop and usually it works fine. Safari on my Mac never works with cic website, even if I clear the cookies and use incognito mode. but PC can log me in everytime. I stopped trying to find out why. Thank you Microsoft.

Speaking from my experience on Mac, Whenever this happens you need to quit the browser. When I say quit it should be right-clicking on the app icon in the dock and selecting the quit option or from the menubar use (Chrome -> Quit Google Chrome). And try again, it should work.

Anyone who received an AOR, how long before the next step for getting new communication i.e. police check, biometrics?

Almost a month for biometrics after AOR and a day after biometrics got sponsor eligibility email

Hello, I have applied for Parent sponsor on Nov-20-2021. Received email from IRCC on June-9th with UCI and application number asking for form IMM 5748 if not already submitted. since form is already submitted with SIN not sending it again. Now I'm trying to link application through GCKey. I register my self with my email id (sponsor email id) but whenever I login it just show password screen and continue button which will take to Canada immi site. Should I have to register with principle applicant email id? or should I wait for few more days to check and link it ? whoever already linked it what did it show when they login using GCKey?

No. Everyone on the application should have a separate biometrics request letter, if they have not provided biometrics to IRCC in the past 10 years.
If this is a mistake, sponsor or PA can send enquiry thru webform.

This is a common tech glitch. Try another browser/computer or wait several days. You can search in this forum" IRCC login error" and find fixes of all sorts.
Once the glitch stops haunting and you are logged in, find this line:
"Did you apply on paper or don't see your online application in your account? Add (link) your application to your account to access it and check your status online."
Follow this link in your acc and you'll be fine.
I linked with sponsor acc. Works fine so far.

@sexychill Any update?

No I don't have any update.

But when I checked their status thru f12 trick, I saw that the update status was gone.. It was different from before.
