I just signed up to ask a few questions, but it seems I can't post new topics, so I'm trying here. I am quite confused as to how the term "dependent" is used.
In 2011 I applied to apply my parents (barely got the application done in time), and last week we got the letter saying they're ready to work on it, and we have 90 days to fill up all the forms, pay the fees, send pictures, police clearances, etc.
A bit about my family:
a. Sponsoring my parents, so the forms are being filled up ostensibly by my mom, but mostly by me.
b. I have 3 siblings, so there are 4 children in all, all above 30 years old.
c. 3 of these siblings are either PRs or citizens already and reside in Canada
d. 4th sibling has no interest in ever moving to Canada (not even sure he's eligible anyway)
Questions:
1. On IMM0008 on question 3, do I put 2 people, and then only have my Mom and my dad (her spouse) fill up their info?
2. On IMM5669 Schedule A/Background Declaration: whose info should go on there? It sounds like just my mom and dad.
3. On IMM5406 Additional Family information: what's required on the form is clear, but who fills it? My mom fills one up, and my dad fills one up?
Thanks for indulging me.
Final question, after this goes in, hopefully in a couple weeks when we finish these up and get the Option C printouts, what are some of the next milestones/timelines?
