Hi all, I am applying visitor visa for my in laws (me and my spouse are pr) using new portal and have 2 doubts if anyone can clarify -

1. Can I apply using my portal as a representative for them. They are outside canada and I am in canada
2. Confused between which option should I select now that under any option there is no proof of relationship or proof of family member status needed(initially it showed as required documents under option (that option now doesn't exist) of child who is immediate family member and who is pr) . Does it mean my spouse neither need to show any proof of being PR in Canada nor to prove relation with them or should i add those in optional documents? -
   • To visit my grandparent, grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling or non-dependent child who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada
     • There are 5 docs National identity document, Passport/travel document, Funds (proof), Use of representative IMM5476, Marriage certificate
   • To visit other family who are not listed above or friends for less than 6 months
     • There are 6 docs Invitation Letter, National identity document, Passport/travel document, Funds (proof), Use of representative IMM5476, Marriage certificte

Below are all the options but any option is not including direct child except super visa option. Only non-dependent child and supervisa meets the criteria I believe but as I explained above the non-dependent options doesn't have those 2 documents under required -
Why do you need a visa? (required)
To visit my spouse, common-law partner, dependent child, parent, steps-parent, guardian or tutor who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada
To visit my grandparent, grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling or non-dependent child who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada
To visit other family who are not listed above or friends for less than 6 months
To visit my children or grandchildren for more than 6 months (super visa)
