Sponsoring Parents

Hi Everyone,

I am planning on sponsoring my parents to come to Canada and I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer:

1. There are 2 steps to do this, first is for me to fill out an application, and second if for my parents to submit their PR application. What forms and what catagories should my parents apply under? I couldn't find any information on this. I am currently a PR in Canada.

2. One of the requirements to become a sponsor is you cannot receive government assistance. Does that mean that I can't apply for maternity EI after I handed in the application?

3. I am a bit confused on the definition of the "principal applicant". Is it my parents or me? If it's my parents, should I put one of them as principal and one of them as accompanying?

Thanks a lot!
