Hi all, I am new to this thread. My wife is applying for sponsoring her son (my step-son, I am co-signer). The application form 5481e is a bit confusing to us. In page 1, We don't know what we should enter in front of questions 5.A and B as well as 6 A and B. We didn't sponsor anybody before.

Find the thread here that says How to Link your Application to GC Key. Follow it step by step and you will successfully link your app. That’s what I did.

I entered 5A as 1 - For my dependent son (also the applicant), the rest of 5.B were 0s (none in progress) that's how we treated it.
For 6 A. and B. - had 1 for wife, and 1 for our older son - Altogether tallying to 4.

This total technically is what matters, You(Sponsor or PA) + how many dependents are on your application.

Usually it takes one or two weeks for the medical results to be confirmed and updated

Thank you so much. what about the names for 5B i, 5B ii, 5B iii, 5B iv? We didn't sponsor anybody before (I left these sections blank, just wanted to make sure).

And 6A and 6B, what names I have to write? should I write the applicant's name here too? For 6A I wrote my name, and for 6B I wrote the name of my daughter. I didn't know where I have to write the name of the applicant?

Are you saying that you lived in Canada for 9 months, left to India - had kids and now coming back?

Form 5481 - your total should come to 4, you + wife + 2 kids (Atleast thats what we did, I applied for my second son who was born post PR) currently in Medical request phase.

Form 5604 ? - or did you mean 5406? Irrespective of it the step by step instruction is a pretty good resource to read when you fill. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5289-sponsor-your-spouse-common-law-partner-conjugal-partner-dependent-child-complete-guide.html#5406

I have exceeded the try limit, I kept answering no of dependents on the application as 1 when it includes me and should have been 2. Will be trying again in 24 hours.
UPDATE: Connected his profile to my GC key account. As lame as it sounds, the trick that seemed to do it was to use ALL CAPS when filling in the Name field. Sigh.
