Yes moving forward you're a family of 5.

The new baby will only count from the year they were born forward i.e. baby is born 2022.
So you must meet the income for 5 from 2022 and maintain it till the sponsored lands.
2022 till application is completed 5 (you + spouse + mom + dad + baby)
2021, 2020, etc... 4 (you + spouse + mom + dad)

Dear Forumates,

I am submitting my Parent's application for PR and in need of a Resume/CV template. at the moment, I'm not sure how does a standard resume looks like for a parent's PR.

Would one of you could share one or suggest anywhere I could find a good resume template for parent's resume for PR ??

Thank you!

Is there a way to convert the supervisa to a work permit? We have been trying for pgp for three years and didn’t get selected and the supervisa insurance cost is too high

3 years is very little. Most wait for longer. If insurance costs are too expensive you should be aware that you will be responsible for even potentially larger costs as the guarantors and even if they are able to get WPs they could still have substantial costs. For example if your parents need to go into longterm care during the first 20 years after PGP approval you will be responsible for a monthly bed fee of 1-1.5k/month plus other personal expenses. Many things are also only partially covered or not covered at all under provincial healthcare. Canada doesn’t have full Medicare it is really partial Medicare. Given that they have been in Canada for 3 years and are only planning on returning for a short visit to their home country and they are close to retirement age getting a WP may be very difficult. There will be minimal proof that they will return home after their WP expires or ties to their home country. Do they have specialized knowledge and very good English or French language scores? Do they have a ba ground in one of the skills needed?

I think once they have OHIP it’s possible to purchase additional insurance though to cover for things like dental prescription vision and long term care etc. those types of insurance plans are really cost efficient and provide a lot more comprehensive coverage compared to the supervisa visitors insurance plans. They're designed for seniors. Thanks for your advice though!
