Hi, Lucy, I have several questions below during my application. Hope you can help me. The background for our case is: we (both my husband and I) will invite his parents to come to Canada. They are farmers, his father has no job, Mother has a temporary job in a factory. My husband has a brother and a sister both married. Both my husband and I are working full time, annual income is $70,000.00, but the NOA for 2013 is $49,000.00.
How do you think our successful rate? The questions are below:
1. Are you dependent on someone financially? The answer should be “no”, right? Even we pay everything, but they do have their house and land.
you are right, the answer shoud be no.
2. Do we need to mention that his mother is working temporarily?
If her wage is very good, then you can mention it.
3. How much is appropriate for Funds available for my stay (CAD)?
$1,0000 for each person.
4. Does IMM 5257 needs signature? So the applicants need electronic signatures, right? Where can I upload?
NO need for signature if you apply online.
5. If my husband and I both invite my parents’ in-law to Canada, do I need to provide our marriage license?
Yes, you need to provide marriage certificate.
6. What is Itinerary, Travel? (Does it mean travel schedule?)
It means travel schedule and fight tickets booked (if you have).
7. The purpose of travel should be separate from the travel schedule with a different letter?
purpose of travel is similar to travel schedule, but you need to add travel plan and planned sites of visiting.
8. “Proof of income and employment letter” means ours’ employment letters, right?
means "theirs" if they have jobs.
9. “Proof of means of financial support” means money in the bank and our NOA?
means their bank savings. you can add your bank savings and your NOA to help.
10. Do we need the IMM 5713 use of a family member representative for online applications?
So many questions, sorry about that and thanks for your help, Lucy.
