Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[imacuser]

Question for pros. I see a lot of posts talking about which office is the application assigned to. Seems like some offices are very fast to process application. And some offices are very slow to process application,
My question is how is this application assigned to an office? Is it based on sponsors address? If so does it mean IRCC needs to be informed when sponsor changes addresses?

Quick question: Should I not add information about those children and siblings of the applicant (my mother) who are already Canadian citizens? I did not notice that and filled information for all. Can anyone confirm, please?

Additional family information
You (the principal applicant) must fill out this form for yourself and on behalf of any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents. Enter all names in English and in your native language (for example, Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Korean or Japanese script or Chinese commercial/telegraphic code). If a section does not apply, write “Not Applicable.”

Hi all,

I have a few questions about the financial evaluation form (IMM 5768):
1. For employment history year 2020, I was employed from 2020-01 till 2020-03 and was laid off (Covid layoff). How do I fill the table? The instructions say for year 2020 EI can be counted. Do I just enter my "income from my tax notice of income 2020" like below:

From	To	Employer	Gross income for period
2020-01-01	2020-12-31	ABC company and then laid off	Total income from my Notice of Income 2020 say it is $70,000

Or do I have disect it like this:

From	To	Employer	Gross income for period
2020-03-29	2020-12-31	Unemployed / EI	I HAVE A PROBLEM HERE (read below)
2020-01-01	2020-03-29	ABC company	I HAVE A PROBLEM HERE (read below)

If I have to do it the second way, I have a problem. All I have is the total income from my Notice of Income 2020, say $70,000. Some of it was made when I was still working at the company and some of it is from my EI when I was laid off. How should I go about this?

2. For signature, do I print the PDF on paper, sign it and scan it as PDF and send it?

Thanks for any help!

1. For EI payments you get T4E so go to my service canada and print EI report and that will show the exact amount of EI for that year.
Also tax return report also shows EI amount so check your cra account and click I think income report for 2020 and that will also tell the amounts.
2. Yes, Print, sign and scan and then upload on portal.

Yes. This is the 2 parts of this instrcution.

Regardless of age and citizenship/resident status, you need to add all children of principal applicant in the additional family information form.

And if PA have any dependent in this application (i.e. spouse, children under 22 and not canadian/PR of Canada), they need to fill their own additional family information form if they are 18 years or older.

Re: IMM 5768, question no. 3-A:

Need clarification, please. I would appreciate your responses.

If the Principal Applicant's spouse is non-accompanying, should I still put "2" on the number of persons included in box #3 of imm 0008?

Or, should I put "1" person which is the Principal Applicant only?

Thanks in advance.

I have a few questions, if anyone can help please:

1- Do I need to upload all the pages including Blank pages of my mother's (Principle applicant) passport?
2- When I submitted interest to the sponsor, I was PR, Now I am a citizen. It is mentioned that you must submit the same status that was at the time you submitted interest to the sponsor. Should I add a copy of my PR card? although I have destroyed that during the Citizenship ceremony:

The following is the requirement:
You must include a copy of the same status in Canada document you submitted with your Interest to Sponsor form in 2020 with your application to sponsor your parents and grandparents.
