the documents depends on the country they originally come from .
Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union IMM 5409 form. is for a person who has an unmarried union with another person.
They were married in India over 36 years ago, when Marriage certificate wasn't a thing yet.
I'm pretty sure a lot of folks are in the same boat.
Any suggestions or what can be done in lieu of the marriage certificate?
I haven't done this. But based on forums I have read, an affidavit would be the easier option or register their marriage and apply for a marriage certificate now.
My parents were married 47 years ago in India and they applied last week and got registered marriage certificate today.
Your parents will need to prepare a file that includes memorandum of marriage, their Aadhar cards, voter ID cards, 2 guarantors one from each parent side with their IDs on file, priest ID and sign on application. If your parents can arrange these things and submit to local municipal or gram panchayat office where marriage took place they will get it within one or two days. There are some paid folks available to help out prepare filling in India.
Here's my parents timeline !

Update on our application. We applied on early Nov 2022. Today we received an email from CIC citing that our application is not complete. It suggest that Use of Representative form IMM5476 is incomplete and is missing hand-written signature. They have given us to submit the form with a letter within 30 days via email.
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the income evaluation and I am hoping I will get help from this forum.
Started working for my company in January 2019 and my offer letter state I will earn $53k/yr, adding my part time job will make me qualify to sponsor 4.
My question now is, I went on medical leave for over 6 weeks which was unpaid and it’s not reflecting in my T4.
Please do You advise I go ahead and apply to sponsor 4 people with explanation letter or just settle with 3?
Thanks

You have to go by what you Tax refund say I forget what line it is..... The amount on that line is what CRA uses.
Wait for others mention that line but your tax return is the proof not your employment letter
You have to meet LICO for all three years. So what does your NOA say for each year and do you meet LICO for each year? Offer letter means nothing. If you don’t the application will be refused. You must sponsor all 4 people even if non accompanying. You can’t just take a person off your applicaiton.
Thank you for your response, I included 2 people in my application, just want to know if I can add one person as my parents dependant but you seem to have answered the question.
So you are 4 people if your parent’s have a child under 22. The child must be included in the application.
You, mother, father, sibling under 22
You can't pick and choose. You're at least 3 people ( you + mom + dad) and if your parents have any dependent aka anyone under 22 you must count them. If you are married you must count your spouse. The total family size is not negotiable and you must meet the minimum income requirements via Tax refund/NOA proof for all 3 years.
