How to check if you are invited to apply? There was a link before to check the status of the confirmation letter. But I don't see it now.
The link will be available after Oct 7, once CIC has sent all the invitations.

Hello Folks,

I was invited to sponsor my parents this week. I was trying since 2017 but finally got picked in this draw. I am filling imm0008 for my mother.. My father is passed away, so my mother is the PA only. I have siblings whose ages are more than 22 years so they cant be added in the dependents but do we need to add their children as grandchildren in the dependents even if they are not accompanying my mother?

My other question is related to the address question in background declaration form. Do we also need to add the addresses of the short trips she did as a tourist out of country in the past 10 years?

No - they are not classified as dependents.

How quickly can you get her passport renewed? Can you do that within 60 days?
We are trying but due the covid situation, its not guaranteed. I will send an explanation letter along with scanned expired passport. Hopefully that can be considered.

If your sister is over 22 then no. Assume you are PR and have 3 years meeting LICO to enter the lottery next year.
She’ll be 21 Jan 2024, and I plan to apply for PGP in 2023. What month do applications start for PGP? And they lock the age right, to when u submitted app and all docs? So she’ll be considered 21 when I apply even tho she’s turning 22 soon? Thank u

Today is not holiday, but think like what would you have done. If I were an IRCC case officer, I would take a day off today and make a super long weekend. So pragmatically, there will be very few people working and # of invitations will be next to none for today.
It’s literally their job to do this work?

Who knows what the program will be in 2024. If still a lottery, you may not even be selected the first year. Some people wait many years. It is locked in when you are selected and submit your application. You have to meet LICO for 3 years for all family members including you, spouse, children, parents and their dependants.
