Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[YVR123]

What is RO by the way? Our parent is not living in Canada.

Your parents do not have to live in Canada. Actually most PGP applicants do not live in Canada.
But you do, as a sponsor. and RO means Permanent Residency Obligations.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post!
I got the email yesterday. My parents are not good in English and computer. If I (sponsor) want to fill out the forms on behalf of them and upload (They will sign themselves) should I appoint myself as a representative? Are they going to need a representative for translation in future?

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 everyone,

I received the invitation to sponsor my parents last Friday. Congratulations to everyone who have also received it and best wishes to those who are awaiting that email, which ends this agonizing wait game

In my application, my father is the principal applicant. I have one sister who is 50 years old. She has a medical condition since birth - Microcephaly (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/microcephaly). In simple words, she is physically and financially dependant on my parents - Her mental age is of a 6-year-old. I have no other siblings. According to the definition of "Dependent children":

Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependants only if they meet both of these requirements:

• they have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22
• they are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition

My sister seems to meet both of these above conditions (Type C Dependant). Further, she does not need any medical aid or help for her day-to-day activity.

I have two queries:

1. Does she qualify as a dependent child? Has anyone been in a similar situation?
2. During the time of submitting my Interest to Sponsor last October, I did not mention my sister's name. Only my father's and mother's details were provided. At that time I didn't know that she might qualify as a dependent child. Can I include her name as the dependent child at this stage now without jeopardizing the entire application process?

I would really really appreciate it if someone can guide me on this matter. It's a living saving situation for my family.

Thank you!

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.

1. Yes, it sounds like she meets the definition of a type C dependent. You will of course need to submit documents (e.g. doctor's letters) to prove her condition.
2. I don't know the answer to this question.

Hello Friends,
Is it compulsory to use a co-signer even if i personally meet the financial requirement? I am asking because my spouse moved to Canada to join me in dec. 2018, so she do not have 3 years of taxation in Canada, she worked in 2019, 2020 and now 2021. 2021 tax filing will be next year. So can i just leave out the co-signer part for most of the forms.

Hi ,

i received invitation for my parents yesterday and have few questions hoping to get some help

• income requirements - 2020 and 2019 is okay but 2018 i am sort 1500$ so wondering if still okay or not?
• i was single in 2018 so i should check for 3 person i guess , so co -sign won't help for 2018 i believe ??
• also was student earlier 2018 part so not sure that makes a difference ?

any thoughts help is much appreciated

Another case of short income, as expected people realize it after they ruin a spot for someone who is eligible very frustrating and unfortunate.

It is not compulsory.

i am eligible so not unfortunate , probably you just read that question. i was not aware about co -signer now i am so all good on my end

This is correct according to the IRCC link. Copied it below for others to see:

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

I think you will be fine with your wife's income for all 3 years.
