You were supposed to have checked and verified your family size, income requirements and that you were eligible, BEFORE entering the lottery.

All income needs are found here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html

Yes your husband can be a co-signer.

Most likely You wasted a spot of someone. You should have checked eligibility criteria before entering in draw. income requirements is one thing. Also individuals who themselves were sponsored by spouses in last 5 years in not eligible. Check gudie for same

People who were sponsored by their spouse are barred from sponsoring another spouse within 5 years of landing. The 5 year bar does not apply to sponsoring parents. A sponsored person could sponsor their parents right after landing if their spouse meets LICO.

Hi All,

I came to this country as a student, I completed graduation, then worked, then have become a permanent resident since 3.5 years. I recently applied for my citizenship as well. Now I've received the letter to sponsor my parents and since I intend to call them as I meet all the requirements

Furthermore, I have a sibling who is single and is not financially dependent on my parents and does not intend to immigrate to Canada. So, at this point, I am filing immigration for both my parents.

My questions are:

Do I have to file for both parents individually/ separately?
What are necessary steps to take in order to file for immigration?
Do these documents need to be filled up by my parents and sibling individually?

Thank you,
Nick.

I do not think this statement is accurate. People who were sponsored by spouses in the last 5 years CANNOT submit Sponsor of 'another' spouse.

this question has nothing to do with sponsoring parents or grandparents.

This is incorrect. Rule applies to sponsoring a spouse. Not applicable to parent / grandparent sponsorship.
