So here is the information i finally was able to get from CIC website in regards to my question .

How can I show proof of income to sponsor a parent or grandparent?
You must send your Notices of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the past three years. Note that your Notice of Assessment from last year may not yet be available, so you will need to provide your Notices of Assessment for the three previous consecutive years.

Read the instruction guide to find out which Notices of Assessment you must provide.
If you do not have a paper copy of your Notice of Assessment on file, you can view (and print) your tax return as well as other personal tax information using the CRA’s My Account online service.

So copies and print outs are good to go with.


And there was another discussion going on in regards to CAP,So here is what i found


Will applications to sponsor a parent or grandparent be received on a first-come, first-served basis until you hit 10,000?
To be included under the cap and considered for processing, applications will have to be completed according to the application kit requirements. Applications will be considered in the order of the date received and must be received by IRCC’s Case Processing Centre in Mississauga on or after the date the program re-opens.

The 10,000 cap is not the first 10,000 applications received but the first 10,000 new and complete applications received as per the document checklist, which includes any new forms and requirements. Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant and will not be counted as part of the cap.

Cheers

Just relax....you are good for now based on my understanding as your CC has been charged...you will receive your AOR or ECAS activated sometime in near future...but really cannot give you any timeline as none of us knows their internal process...there are many in the same boat like you who are yet to receive AOR email...and as per my understanding...it can take from couple of weeks to couple of months before you receive an AOR email.

I do not think you need to worry atoll...its a long process (PGP)...so definitely need to have patience...there are no strict timelines based on CIC's past history, when dealing with PGP applications...

This is the link from IRCC. " Sponsoring your family "

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/questions-answers-by-topic.asp?top=14

On same page, how would you follow the instructions?

How do I pay for my application to sponsor a parent or grandparent?

We received sufficient applications to meet the Parent and Grandparent program cap. The application period is now closed.

As there will be an annual cap on the acceptance of new sponsorship applications for parents and grandparents, payment to the Receiver General for Canada will only be accepted by credit card or certified cheque. Fees that are paid in any other manner (such as on-line payment or payment at a financial institution in Canada using the form IMM5401) will not be accepted and the application will be returned to the sponsor or representative, where applicable. If an application is returned and the applicant re-submits, the application will be placed in the processing queue according to the new date of submission.

How do I ensure that my sponsorship application is not delayed or refused?

To help avoid delays or a refusal, make sure that you:
•properly fill out and sign all the application form(s),
•include all documents listed on the Document Checklist (IMM 5287),
pay your processing fee online with a credit card,
include the proof of payment of your processing fee when you send your application, and
•pay the right of permanent residence fee of C$490, once you get a letter asking you to do so (please see the fee schedule to find out the total cost you need to pay).

Looks like CC charging was slow yesterday or maybe it is coming to an end.... Then, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for the support and valuable information I received from day 01 of this forum to this time I am one of the person that always open my net and look at this forum. It helps me a lot. Looking at the spreadsheet which says "GOOD LUCK TO ALL" to my applications and quotes that made me realized I still have hope.

For those applications that didn't make it to 10k, I know that you have enough knowledge to pass trough 10K next year. ;D ;D ;D Don't give up!

And for those how make it to the 10K, we just started our journey to our dreams of having our parents here in Canada. Always pray and be positive.

Hope we hear each other again. If not in this forum, maybe in another forum with a title of "2016 PGP APPLICATION VISA RECEIVED/APPROVED" ;D ;D ;D

Tried to update status on SS. but keep showing: "Reconnecting.... ".

IRCC received my application on Jan 4th, E-CAS was opened a few days later, no AOR/File # till today after I called IRCC many times, finally!! finally !!! They told me the email for AOR was sent to me on Feb 1st, 2016. I've been checking everyday, spam folder, all other folders, post mail box everyday..... for whatever reasons ... NONE..

So, they gave me the file # over the phone, I GOT it!!!!!

same email address on file, The agent sent me a follow-up email after the call, It shows the File #. used file # to login E- CAS, No problems. So I wondered if there was typo from their end as I got email from agent is the same email on file....

GLTA !!

Yes, you can see the status online...only after IRCC activates ECAS for you...the link to check for the status is as below...you will have to provide client ID, Last name, DOB and country...of the principal applicant or the sponsor (provided sponsor is also a representative of the applicants)

btw...when did your CC deducted (date)?

You can see the status online only once your ECAS profile is activated by IRCC...not necessarily it will happen at the same time when you get your AOR...this is based on past experience of other applicants. you have to put the details in the below link...and have to provide client ID, Last name, DOB and country...of the principal applicant or of the sponsor (provided sponsor is also a representative of the applicants)
