Sponsoring Parents IMM0008 Question 3

[Ayesha812]

Hi,

I am currently a PR holder. I am sponsoring my mother and my two younger siblings who reside outside of canada. I require some clarification for answering question 3 on the imm 0008 form - How many family members, including you, are in this application?

My father and mother, along with my two younger siblings live outside canada. My father is working there and my mother is a housewife. I have the income to only sponsor three of my family members - my mother and my two youngest siblings. My mother is the principal applicant. So do I enter 3 for question 3?

My total family members are - My father, My mother, myself (PR holder), sister 1 (24 years, working in canada), sister 2 (19 years, attending uni in canada, financially supported by my father), sister 3 (12 years lives with parents) and sister 4 (10 years and live with parents)

Should we enter 5 for question 3 and include my father and sister 2 even though neither of them will be accompanying my mother to canada?

Which one should i enter?
1. Three family members - my mother (principal applicant), sister 3 (accompanying to canada) and sister 4 (accompanying to canada)
2. Five family members - my mother (principal applicant), my father (not accompanying to canada) , sister 2 (not accompanying to canada), sister 3 (accompanying to canada) and sister 4 (accompanying to canada)

You cannot choose how many out of all of your family you want to sponsor.
You need to meet requirement to sponsor all members of your parents' family
i.e. principle applicant + spouse + all dependents (age under 22 and not married/common law)

Any of them can be listed non accompanying but they still have to go through medical/police check AND be included in the calculation of the family size that sponsor needs to financially support.

So answer is 5 + yourself (mom, dad, sister 2, sister 3 and yourself). Sister 1 is over 22 and is not a dependent. If your income doesn't meet the requirement, do not apply.

You must meet LICO for 6 people. This was clearly explained. If you only meet LICO for 3 people, you do not qualify to sponsor and you took a spot from someone who did qualify.
