Extended Family Declarations (IMM 0006, IMM 0016) – Notarization in Ontario
Extended Family Declarations (IMM 0006, IMM 0016) – Notarization in Ontario
Extended Family Declarations are a required part of many family reunification and sponsorship cases in Canada. For families and sponsors across Aurora, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Newmarket, these documents help demonstrate a legal relationship with the family member being invited or sponsored — and they must be properly notarized to be accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
What Are IMM 0006 and IMM 0016 Declarations?
The following forms are commonly used in extended family immigration and sponsorship applications:
- IMM 0006 – Declaration of Extended Family Members
- IMM 0016 – Statutory Declaration by the Parent of a Minor Child
- 
These forms are sworn declarations confirming the family relationship and the intent behind the immigration request. IRCC requires that these documents be notarized to be valid.
Who Requires These Notarized Declarations?
Applicants typically need these forms in the following scenarios:
- Inviting or sponsoring parents, grandparents, siblings, nieces/nephews, or other extended relatives
- Declaring guardianship or parental consent for minors traveling or immigrating
- Supporting humanitarian or compassionate visa applications tied to family connection
Notarization helps prevent document rejections, delays, or requests for additional evidence from immigration officers.
Why Notarization Matters
Extended Family Declarations must be:
- Signed in front of a licensed Ontario Notary Public
- Properly commissioned or notarized in compliance with the Ontario Notaries Act
- Verified as accurate, sworn declarations for immigration processing
Failure to notarize correctly may result in application delays, refusals, or requests for additional documentation from IRCC.
