IRCC changes its rules for biometric https://www.cicnews.com/2023/06/all-permanent-residence-applicants-must-now-submit-biometrics-0635605.html. Seems like the 10 year validity was only during pandemic and as of June 14th they are returning to pre pandemic rule for biometric. Hope all of us are not part of this, otherwise this is going to be extra pain for many of us.

realistically, from Sponsor Approval to Passport Request, how many months can we expect? I understand the timelines from CIC is verrrrry conservative

Try checking the 2021 excel sheet. It might give you a general idea about how long the process is taking.

Not sure why you are the one sending the option C. Your son (Principal applicant) should be the one sending the Option C because he is the sponsor and it is his tax info in it. They are saying that since you sent a document in behalf of the Sponsor, you should submit a representative form. They don't have a file in hand that says you can send documents in behalf of the Sponsor.

Can anyone please tell if EI income(Laid off from work) will count towards income?

As replied by another memeber, it depends. Since it's not parental related, it depends on the year that you got EI. I think it's a temporary relax policy during COVID.

Your son is supposed to submit option C, not you (PA). So if you want to represent your son, you need to sign the Use of Representative form.

Otherwise, just ask your son (sponsor) to submit his option C as requested by IRCC.
