[@rafiasadi1684]

I truly thank you for your guidance via your videos. Much appreciated! Quick questions regarding imm00008: 1) If I get this form from the Form directory of the CIC website, it requires me to validate the form which results in showing a barcode. However, when I watched your video, you guided us to complete it in the Portal account where it does not ask for validation. Will there be an issue not validating the form? 2) I am representing my parents via sending imm 5476 where I enter my own email address in Section B- 7 of imm 5476. In IMM 0008, it asks for an email address under "Contact Information". Should I put my email (as their representative) in imm 0008 OR I shoul put in my mom's email who is the principal applicant? Last, my mom has been a housewife in her whole life- only did some volunteer work for family charities etc. Never earned income. By any chance do you have a sample CV for a housewife? Thank you :)

[@CanadianCharisma]

1. For the Parents PR program, you do not require to validate it. 2. Your mom’s email 3. I could not get time to make one, Just write Homemaker from her 18th birthday and add her volunteer work.

Fill in the random date, around the time you are asking for extension ( if you applied 3 months extension, then put the date 3 months after form sep 01, if 6 months, then the date 6 months after Sep 01) submit an explanation letter with the application to explain your situation.

Technically they should arrive at your place in documents, what you can try with an explanation letter that you are sponsoring them and they want to live with other kid, it should be fine. OR just apply for CSQ, because you can apply before you will receive the CSQ document.

Hi: Since we are applying online this time, Do I need to open two online accounts and submit two online applications one for mom and one for dad? Since both of them are Principal Applicants.

Please clear me out. Thank you very much in advance!

For “Parents and Grandparents PR” you need to submit two applications through the Principal applicant's account: 1. By sponsor: which need to sign by hand “by Sponsor, Principal Applicant, and co-signer (If you have one)” 2. By Principal Applicant: Dad & Mom both will include in one application. One of them will act as Principal applicant and the other as a dependent. This will get filled out and signed electronically by the principal applicant only.
