Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[cocoa_butter]

you were not eligible , they need last 3 years of tax returns . so if you file application in 2022 , they need income of 2021 , 2020 and 2019 . also you must be employed in Canada for those 3 years .

If you meet the income of 2019 then also chances are very slim as i believe you were not residing in Canada for full year . There is very little change but i think its worth to file an appeal.

After rejection you will be out of Pool and wait until pool is open for new invitation .

I was a resident at that time since February 2019. Why did they even send me an invitation if they did not think I was eligible from my interest to sponsor?

They have send invitation to non qualified too who immigrated same year, They do not check eligibility at the time of invitation . They check it after entire application is submitted .

I was not clear on how they are assessing the LICO based on income made on each individual year as opposed to the last three years altogether. In IMM5768, we are asked to report income based on employer timeline and not on tax year. So, I compared the total of the three years which put me above the line, which was my mistake.

I would have still submitted if I were to know that 2019 would not have passed, but maybe not opt to process the application. Who knows after how long before my interest would have been picked up. My concern now is if my application gets rejected, will I still be in the pool to get a chance to apply?

One thing I can hope for is "Reassessments", which I am not sure if it would be possible at this point.

"Reassessments

All sponsors are given the opportunity to provide as much supporting documentation as possible at the time their sponsorship application is submitted. An officer then renders a decision based on the information that was provided. Unfortunately, this decision cannot be reconsidered where the sponsor omitted pertinent information or where financial circumstances have changed since that submission.

"Reassessments may only be conducted if:

a) you met the MNI on the date of filing of this application, and
b) new information arises to indicate you would no longer be able to meet the MNI.

Note that an officer may also request updated evidence of income if more than 12 months have elapsed since the receipt of your application. Under such circumstances, a reassessment of the sponsor’s income shall be calculated on the basis of the income earned as reported in the Notices of Assessment or Option C print outs issued by the Canada Revenue Agency in respect of each of the three consecutive taxation years immediately preceding the day on which the officer receives the updated evidence."

I am unclear if "receipt of application" is when the visa officer will get the application or when I submitted it online. I would be glad if they would reassess my LICO after 12 months I guess.

It was pretty clear that income of each year is needed to meet the LICO for the previous 3 years before interest to sponsor was submitted.
(there was a check box to accept and agree that your income met the requirement)

IRCC have never use a "total sum" or an "average over 3 years" for LICO. Anyway, keep us updated on the appeal. Good luck.

Did you file 2022 tax returns before they started processing your application?

I posted several weeks ago that IRCC has asked me to fill out some missing information and resubmit IMM 0008. I was given several different options for resubmitting the new IMM 0008: either through email, , or via post mail.

I have decided to resubmit via email. But I was wondering how to sign the document properly? After completing the pdf and pressing the "Validate" button, the following message pops up:

"Validation completed successfully.

Please print the entire application and sign and date the last page. This page contains bar codes that facilitates data entry of your application.

If you are applying online, you do not need to sign your application form by hand. You will be asked to provide an electronic signature once you are ready to transmit your documents to CIC."

I'll be submitting my IMM 0008 via email, but is this considered applying online? I think I have 3 ways of signing, not sure which is the correct way:

1) The signature area of the form is typable. Should I just type in my name? This is how IMM 1344 is supposed to be signed.

2) Should I print the application as a pdf, and sign using Adobe e-signature?

3) Should I print the the application to paper, sign by hand, and then scan it back?

Hi everyone,
Those who got the request to send back IMM5476 (use of representative) form to be hand-signed, did you send it back filling out every field by hand or just hand-signed the form filled out online?
Also, what was the language in the correspondence requesting the IMM5476 form to be submitted again?
