Asking again for help..in birth certificate if parents names are initialed submitting a letter of explanation is good enough?
Hi,
In whose birth certificate? yours (as sponsor) or your parents (as applicants)?

If in yours than I would suggest to get an affidavit for safety and avoid follow up with IRCC.
If in your parents than don't worry as they do not need to provide their birth certificates as applicants.

Also one more query, I individually can qualify for MNI, should I add my spouse as cosigner to be safe?
She does not individually have more income than MNI for year tax year 2020 as she just started working in 2019 last quarter and for 2023 tax year as she was on maternity in 2022.

IMM 5772 Guide-Page#133 : If you don’t have access to a birth certificate for someone you’re sponsoring, or the one you have doesn’t clearly show your relationship (for example, a name is incorrect), you can give a document that shows the relationship between you and your family member along with a letter of explanation. You should also still include a copy of your birth certificate.

Thank you very much for clarification. Just one more question on parent's education. My mom has done her matriculation only. How many years of education that will be considered i.e. how many primary school and how many secondary school years?
Thanks a bunch.
Primary school : 5 years
Under Secondary: 7 years (total)
Matriculation : 5 years + Pre-University Course ( PUC / Intermediate) : 2 years

In your case, Elementary (5 years), Matriculation (5 years) put under secondary

No one knows.

Aren't you in the 2020 pool if you have been eligible for that long?

Seniors..pls help with this question,,
So do you meet LICO with your NOAs for 2020,21, 23 to sponsor your parents with the number of people in your family. If you do on your own, you don’t need to include your spouse’s income unless sponsoring her parents.

Go with whatever that have the higher level of information. For this case, I think personal history since 18 make sense since there is basically no history for 10 years if the person has been retired since. IRCC needs background information to verify this person's history.
