Is the sponsor required to upload scans of all valid passports? For e.g I am a dual citizen with two passports. Do I need to upload both in the 'Travel documents and passport' section of the portal? Or is uploading any one passport fine? Thanks

I believe that only the applicants (your parents) need to submit copy of passport/travel documents. You, the sponsor, are not required to submit your passport.

How do you guys sign the IMM5476 form. Electronically (i.e. typing your and your parents' names) or with wet signature (print, sign, and scan)? The guide says electronically but I've seen some troubling threads from other people that they signed electronically but then got a letter from IRCC saying their applications are incomplete because the IMM5476 forms is missing hand signature...

Hi
Just wondering my father don't have birth certificate. Should I attach 10th certificate with letter of explanation? Do we really need parents birth certificate for PGP application. Also he living with me in Canada what should I enter in travel history date which says from to. Does current month and year work or should I enter till date? Any suggestions?

It's asking for your birth certificate, not your father's. It's used to prove that you are your father's child.

Hi everyone,
Is there a way we can download a copy of all the application we completed (before we submit)? The instruction says go to "File > Print", but I don't see any such option in the application. (if they are talking about the web browser's file>print, the printable output is not very good)

It's your employer's address and phone number.

To answer my own question, once you have completely submitted the application, it allows you to download a zip file, which includes everything you have submitted. It also has generated pdfs of all the forms you filled out online (IMM0008, etc)

Hello,
I am sponsoring my mother who is a widow. I have my father's death certificate but his name on it has a minor spelling mistake. Should I include a letter of explanation with the death certificate explaining that his name has a spelling mistake and indicate the actual spelling of his name. Would this suffice or would I need to attach anything else as well?

Appreciate your help

Write the best known (guestimate) date of birth, no need to write a letter of explanation. When you say mom's side grand parents, is it your grand parents or your mom's grand parents? -> you only need your mom's parents and her siblings details. Same will apply for your dad and his parents and siblings.

No that should be sufficient.
