Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[shinningstar]

Hi Thanks shinningstar . I meant to say this two following documents i don't need to send to CIC right? I want to make sure I am correct or not.Please let me.

1) Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship
(IMM 5768)
To be completed by you and your co-signer, if applicable

2)
Option C print out or Notice of Assessment(NOA) issued by the Canada Revenue Agency for each of the three most recent taxation years
Note:
If your spouse or common-law partner is a co-signer, provide the same document.

NOA is to support the financial evaluation. since federal has nothing to do with the financial evaluation of Quebec residents, The NOA or Option C is also not required. Atleast that's my understanding and I am not sending it with my application unless someone convinces me otherwise.

I am not gonna go through the hassle of providing unnecessary documentation which is not required.

TA_Hoss and mustu521, It is mentioned in the document checklist "if applicable" (not sure which checklist you guys are referring to) Also in the instruction guide it is mentioned that "Quebec residents do not need to fill this form"

Hi thanks a lot to clarify . yes u r right .In the instruction guide it is mentioned that "Quebec residents do not need to fill this form( IMM5768). i didn't notice it before.

Yup you are right. As i don't need to send IMM5768 therefore i don't need to send any NOA too.

Yes it is mentioned in the guide that you don't need to fill IMM5768 if you are a Quebec resident. My question was that in the document check list too item no. 5 they should have mentioned that Option C printout or NOA is not applicable for Quebec residents to make it very clear

I am using the following document checklist from the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/sponsor-parents.asp (it is updated in May-2015)

Has anyone heard of CIC Couriers / Secure Immigration Couriers Ltd. or used them in the past for PGP applications? I am sending docs from Alberta, Calgary and was wondering if CIC Couriers are a good service to use and they guarantee on time delivery?

Thanks and sorry if I have posted my question in the wrong thread.

I have a question on the form IMM5409. Actually, my wife is not a co signer then in that case when I am filling the form, do I need to provide her details and get it signed in front of the Notary or Commissioner of Oath or Commissioner of Taking Affidavit.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rossei,
May I request you to create a Timeline Excel Sheet for 2016 applicants?It seems reading this forum you will be the right person to create this Informative and most analytical TimeLine sheet.Please spare some of your precious time to start this.

As few other requested the same, I will create one (similar to 2015) very soon and share it here. If someone else has already made one or is willing to make one; please let me know by Wednesday.

Hi Rossei,

I have another question regarding the Financial Evaluation Form, item 13, every other family member not listed above, and dependent on your financially, whether live with you or not:

In this case, should I just list my children, not my parents right? My parents do not dependent on us financially while living in China. But they will be while living with us in Canada. I am confused, should I list my parents under item 13 or not? If I do, there isn't enough space...

Thank you!

Hi, i think if you are legally married and if you have your marriage certificate then in any situation (whether your wife is co -sponsor or not) you don’t need to fill up this form.
This form is for the people who live together under common_low_ union but not married.

Thank you Rossei! That's very nice of you!

I am trying to read previous posts regarding fee payment but couldn't find...We are sponsoring my parents. My husband is the co-signer. So do I need to pay $75x2 (number of sponsor), $475 (principle applicant), plus $550 (spouse)...the total would be $1,175? Thank you!

Hi everyone.
I`m applying from Quebec and just talked to the agent in Quebec.
- quebec residents do not need to proove income for 3 years, only for 1.
- do not need send financial evaluation form
- do not need get Quebec certificate (leave special block empty)

Also I read in the guide that NOA can be viewed online and printed (I remember from previous year it should be original only - NOA or printout).

Hope this helps.

And also have one question (couldnt reach CIC by phone).. If my husband, who is co-signer, dont remember when he became citizen (the date), and in his plastic card is only month and year - what should we do? Apply for the proof of citizenship (6 month waiting), or we can call someone, or just write any day. say 31-st?

Thank you in advance!

Hi all,

In one year, I received severance pay, which it was included in the NOA line 150, and because of that, I was above the Minimum Necessary Income for that year, when I fill out the IMM5768E, Question 16, do I need to take out from my total income amount and lower the available income because of the severance pay?

Thanks

Did you try logging into ecas to check? Not sure though that how long the record is available online after the file is finalized.
