I did not included him on file due to less income. But below link had a clear instructions. Thank youI am assuming you had included both parents on the Interest to Sponsor form. So when you get invited you can let IRCC know that only 1 parent will require to be sponsored. It says on the letter of invite - "If your information (other than your email address) has changed since you submitted the Interest to Sponsor form, complete your application with your updated information and include a letter of explanation and proof of the change(s)."

Do you have a source for that. I have a friend who got the invite and the father is a political prisoner so he does not even have a passport, so my friend cannot just apply for the mother?When did you get invitation and did one parent only get PR>
If both parents are alive, they must both be included and LICO is that total. You cannot just pick a parent because you don’t have the income. Both must pass the medical too. You cannot sponsor just one parent. One parent doesn’t need to move to Canada. That is very clear in the requirements.
I am FE and I saw in another group someone asked if anyone has received invite starting with an F and no one yet… I honestly don’t get how their system worksAnyone starts with F3 ? Still waiting
Both parents must be included in LICO but only one has to come to Canada. Father, being a political prisoner, will complicate the process as IRCC will need to verify the information. Friend may want to get immigration lawyer to assist. It is a common question asked every year if you can not sponsor one parent because you don’t meet LICO.Do you have a source for that. I have a friend who got the invite and the father is a political prisoner so he does not even have a passport, so my friend cannot just apply for the mother?
I'm sorry for your friend's situation.Do you have a source for that. I have a friend who got the invite and the father is a political prisoner so he does not even have a passport, so my friend cannot just apply for the mother?
Thanks for sharing . My friend met the LICO but I guess the issue is the father does not have a passport and cannot obtain a passport and I bet one of the main documents is having a passport …. I cannot see any example in such situations.Both parents must be included in LICO but only one has to come to Canada.

Read link and example 5, even if parents are married and no longer together (not yet divorced), both must be included in LICO.

Yes, the issue is that both parents must pass the medical and have passports. Application will be refused if all requirements are not met. Given he is a political prisoner, friend may want to consult an immigration lawyer.Thanks for sharing .

It may be possible to get the mother's PR visa approved without the father's passport. However it is mandatory for the father to be included as an accompanying dependent. It is also mandatory the father take and pass the medical, as well as provide PCCs and pass the background and security checks. Your friend can certainly try and see what happens. Just make sure he includes the father as a non-accompanying dependent vs. leaving him out of the application completely (which may be regarded as misrepresentation).Thanks for sharing .
