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.

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.
Hi hand-written sign is compulsory? pls share the date of applied in Nov? So we hv a update. Thanks

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)

In my case none of the submitted forms have hand written signatures/dates but was asked to send only use of representative form. We will be sending in few days time, will update on it.

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
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?
