Hi everyone,
Finally received an invite this year. Had a few queries for discussion, hoping someone can help.
1. Parents likely won't be able to do the online application themselves through the Permanent Residence Portal. Most likely, I will be helping them. Should I fill it up as if they are filling it in or should I do so as a representative through the Representative Permanent Residence Portal? Even though I am their sponsor (their child), I believe I can be their representative as well. Thoughts/ suggestions?
2. If I fill in as a representative, I imagine it should be unpaid? My confusion - Invitation letter only talks about paid representative, though the representative form (imm 5476e) has options of uncompensated (friend or family member) or compensated (in good standing/ professional). I feel I should fill in as unpaid representative to keep it clean. Thoughts/ suggestions?
3. Don't recall if I added my spouse as a sponsor in the interest form of 2020. But either way, should be fine if we want my spouse to be included as a sponsor now. Thoughts/ suggestions?
4. Marriage Certificate for parents - will get an affidavit from court + parents mentioned in home country's previous passport. Thoughts/ suggestions?
5. Mother's name change post marriage - will get an affidavit from court documenting the name change. Thoughts/ suggestions?
6. Below may apply to many - please check.
My status changed from PR to citizen, after submitting interest in 2020. Am thinking of submitting my Canadian citizenship proof + birth country's cancelled passport (which was valid in 2020). Thoughts/ concerns? Refer from guide below.
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. Upload your status in Canada document to your online application under the section “Supporting documents.”
If you submitted a passport, other than a Canadian passport, with your Interest to Sponsor form in 2020, please submit a copy of the passport you submitted and one of the documents listed above to confirm your status in Canada.
Thanks
