My husband and I just became PRs last year and this will be our first time doing taxes in Canada. Can we use our previous taxes from the US in the proof of funds (as part of the past 3 years’ taxes) to sponsor his parents to come to Canada? Or does it have to be Canadian Taxes?
Dont understand this. Where does it say that we need to file 3 yrs taxes to be eligible for sponsoring parents? All it says (in addition with age, PR status and living in canada part) is that you should have a salary to support and satisfy Federal income levels for family size. Are we referring to CRA form which asks for calculation for past 3 yrs or something?Dang it. Okay, thank you for the response! Good luck everyone.

At the beginning, they mention Notice of Assessment for the 3 years preceding application date from CRA.
