do we have any tutorial or help documentation to shows step by steps filling the forms and uploading documents? one of question I have is, for example for *Travel documents and passports (required) or *Photo(s) (required) sections, should we upload the pdf including both parents images or passports?

another question I have is, do we need to upload all pages of the parent passport or just first page? if we need to upload all pages of 2 parents in this section, it will be a big file

Follow this detailed guide:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html

I prefer to upload all pages of passport as one pdf file.

This is wrong. The income is combined. Both the sponsor and cosigner do not need to meet LICO individually. They just need to meet it in combination.

If that’s the case, if principal applicant is meeting income requirements alone, do you think including cosignor will only complicate the process or can we still include cosignor.

Which document should I put under invitation to apply under portal ? Thanks

The email which you got from IRCC for invitation along with PDF document attached in the email.

I would include the cosigner anyway. It doesn't complicate the process.

Thanks for the quick response. One more question. While submitting interest to sponsor form I mentioned incorrect date of birth for my mother (as date of birth was incorrectly mentioned in PAN card). Now we have corrected her DOB in all national identity documents. Can I just prepare affidavit mentioned that date of borth was incorrect and it’s been rectified now.

Yes, that sounds fine.

My wife will be going on Mat leave from next week and we are expecting child in first week of November. Will that impact Cosignor? Now we will be family of 4 , me my wife and 2 kids (one coming next week). So we are still easily meeting income requirements. My question is since she is going on mat leave and she will be on EI in 2024 will this impact cosignor anyways. I tried reading guide from IRCC and I think they only consider income of proceeding 3 years from date of application so it’s only 2020, 2021 and 2022 for 2023 applications. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing anything.

No impact but include your parents in family so if you have one child right not, it is 5 people.

Hello Everyone
I have received an invitation to apply for the PGP for my Mother. But I was about to apply for a Super Visa also. Now I understand the process for the PGP may take long. Hence can I apply for a Super Visa and PGP both? Will they conflict? Your kind advice will be appreciated

But I am going to submit PgP application on after birth of my second child so it will be 6 people right?
