This is so BS that the people who did not apply in 2020 are not able to apply for 2 years in a row - 2021 and 2022, absolutely BS
If a person is sponsoring her parents (e.g. father, a principal applicant, and mother, dependent spouse). In case the sponsor wants to represent her parents, she has to fill IMM5476 Use of Representative. In such a case, the sponsor sign in Section 8 and In section 10, father signs, as the applicant, and mother signs as the spouse right?
The form says "Signature of spouse or common-law partner for sponsorship application" in this case father is not sponsoring the mother .. so bit confuse

I did not remember which information i provided during the interest to sponsor form so i included both ( Passport and Citizenship Cert ) , If i am not worng it did ask to put the Citizenship certificate number but i am not 100% sure . Ground rule is you need to provide the proof of document that you provided during submission of the interest to sponsor form back in 2020 . If you have both then i would recommend to include both .
Section 10 - Signature of Applicant should have your Fathers Name ( As per passport ) Its digital Signature .If a person is sponsoring her parents (e.g. father, a principal applicant, and mother, dependent spouse).

Section 10 - Signature of Spouse should have your mothers name ( As per Passport) its digital Signature .
Section 8 - Must have your signature if you are their representative ( Digital Signature - name as per passport )
Look at the document check list , its clearly says that this form has a digital signature . Also it does allow us to type the name ( Technically parents should type their name )
One Affidavit should be good enough , My dad name on his passport is different than birth certificate so I had to get Affidavit done , In India its quick and easy . I don't see any problem if you keep your mom as principal applicant but lets see what others has to say .
Thank you. I only have the passport and do not have the Canadian citizenship certificate (cannot find it and I might have to apply for a new one and sounds like a long process). I just used the passport when I submitted my application. So, I can just provide the passport details and leave the part where it asks for Canadian Citizenship Number empty in the form?
Agreed ... I am just confused by the statement ""Signature of spouse or common-law partner for sponsorship application" in section 10. As the mother is not being sponsored by the father. Anyway, your reply is consistent with my understanding as well. Thanks for putting your thought
Document check List has mentioned you need to submit Passport or Citizenship Cert , So i think in your case you can submit only passport and may be write in letter of explanation that you have also applied to get a copy of Citizenship Cert just in case . Unless you are 100% sure that you never provided citizenship number when you fill out that invitation form in 2020 then you do not need to provide letter of explanation , only passport is fine .
IMM 0008 - NO. Because you are both over 22 and are NOT dependents (look at definition of dependents on IRCC website)
IMM 5406 - YES. put all children of PA in IMM 5406 and if PA has a spouse/common law partner, fill in another 5406 and if you and your brother are also the spouse's children, enter that information in the spouse's IMM 5406 as well.
It's up to you if you want to put your mom or your dad as the PA (and the other as dependent). What you put in there seem logical to put your mom as PA and dad as dependent. Do not get the terminology dependent throw you off. Your dad doesn't have to really depend on your mom economically or physically to be included as dependent in a PGP sponsorship application.
I removed all the phone numbers for both sponsor and co-signor (since its not a required field) and added only email addresses for both. The form is fine now and Validation Status has remained to "Yes".
