- What complications are there with sponsoring just one parent? When can the applicant (assuming his application is among the ones selected) provide reasons for doing so? (From reading some of the earlier responses) the non-accompanying parent would also have to undergo medical examination.

In order to sponsor just 1 parents and completely exlude the other one from app, the other parent must be divorced/legally separated or deceased. There are no other options.

If you have 2 parents that are married/common-law, they both must be included in the app. Even if 1 parent will be non-accompanying, they must still count in family size and must pass the medical exam. A non-accompanying parents failing the medical exam, will cause entire app to be rejected for other parent as well.

I have a very urgent question. I have my common law partner to meet the income requirement. He has two NOAs for 2015. One is personal, and the other is for his numbered company in which it is used for his self employment purposes.When it comes to filing the PGP application to identify income source, both NOA can be considered? Or The immigration authorities accept personal income only based on line 150 of the Notice of Assessment?
Only personal income tax (line 150) will be accepted.

Only his personal NOA will be considered. CIC will not consider or include his numbered company's NOA.

No - that's not enough. You need income to cover 6 people. As of now, you only have enough income in 2017. You're going to have to wait another two years before you'll be able to sponsor your parents.

Hi

Refreshing and quite informative to read all discussions going on; I learnt quite a bit from here. I have a question about the minimum income thresholds. For 2016, my income is about $1000 below the minimum income threshold for that year (due to the bad economy in the region).

Can I still apply for selection (by submitting the statement of interest) and (if I am selected) explain my situation in the formal application submission?
OR are these thresholds set in stone with no leniency shown? I would want to avoid paying all of the application fees only to be rejected for being below the threshold.

Regards,

Regards,
There is no leniency. People have been rejected for less than $1000 below LICO. You can't be even $1 short, or your app will be rejected.

If you have income qualifying in 2017/2018/2019, you can possibly apply to lottery in January 2020.

Assuming you + spouse + 2 parents = family size of 4, total income required is:
2017 $59,426
2016 $58,768
2015 $57,642

So it seems like you qualify, as long as no other family members.

Is your spouse sponsoring his/her parents ?

Then see Rob_TO's response above. You need to include yourself, your spouse, all your dependent children, your mother, your father, and all their dependent children (whether accompanying or not) when calculating your family size.

Even if you choose to sponsor one parent, you need to include the other if they're still married or in common law.

Then refer to the LICO table for minimum required income in the last 3 years.

No he's not included.

Other family members adding to family size, would just be your own kids or parents kids under age of 22.
