Do we add brothers and sister who are old and will not be included in sponsorship application in Profile? because they will add automatically to the forms later

Do we have any guideline beside the one IRCC provided in the website? For example I want to know how do we upload scan of parents passports? Do we include all pages or just first page?

In form IMM 5768 under employment history , do we need to include parents in family size or can I just mention family size considering me as sponsor, spouse as cosignor and kids?

I am sponsoring my mother and father. From 2020 till Sept 2023 family size is 5 - my both parents, me as a sponsor , wife as cosignor and one kid. We are expecting baby next week and family size will increase to 6. Now for income calculation from 2020 will IRCC consider family size of 5 or 6?

again question related to IMM5768 form, last column of the employment history section is family size. if a child is born in 2023. I should include new born member only for 2023- present. Family size will be -1 for all proceeding years since child was born only in 2023. Is my understanding correct?

Hey folks,

I have a few questions regarding uploading passports/travel docs, I would really appreciate if someone could help me with them.

- In "travel documents and passports" section of supporting docs, do we have to include only sponsor/co-sponsors' passports and not the person being sponsored?
- Should passports of person to be sponsored be included in the "additional supporting documents" section?
- For person being sponsored, should we include all pages of their valid/current passport even if it's brand new with no stamps? (do you recommend to additionally include their most recent expired passport with stamps as well?)

Hello Everyone,

I got invitation for my parents PR but my parents do not have birth certificates. Can we make Affidavit for that and attach passport copy plus 10th certificate? will that suffice the date of birth requirement? Thank you all.

Hello all.
I am filling out PR application on my mother's behalf under PGP program after getting the invitation letter this year. I will be using imm5476 (use of a representative) form. Can I create online portal account using same email address that I used to send my interest to sponsor in 2020. I am planning to use same email address in filing out the form imm5476 as well (under section for email of the representative).
Thank you very much.

Parents birth certificates are only needed if you are sponsoring your grandparents. birth certificate is only required of sponsor not parents. Only exception is if you are sponsoring grandparents.
I(sponsor) have a birth certificate 10 years ago(I used that for my PR application), can I still use this doc for PGP now? thanks
