Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[sujan143]

Hi All,

Has anyone applied under Parent sponsonship and provided a Notice of ReAssessment instead of Notice of Assessment for any the last 3 years?

Mine had to be reassessed after the original return was submitted

okay. so have to add another year right? so 4 years with minimum or over the tax "payment" years.

And how long is the processing time if you are one of the 10,000 elected through lottery? How long it will take for family members to receive PR?

You need to read every details on CIC website. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/results-by-topic.asp?st=14.1

The answers to your questions are not one-word. It depends on many different factors

Yup. I provided Notice of Reassessments for my application, and I got approved as sponsor. It's really the latest information regarding your personal tax. So, I'd argue that you do need to provide the latest information which is the reassessment. So, go right ahead and provide those reassessments. The most they can do is to provide the NOA before the reassessment. But, I do not see any reason why they would do that because notice of reassessment show the previous amount as well.

Thanks for explanantion. Will change id, its better rather than getting that back in a month. Can wait for another id for 2 weeks.

Yup. That's exactly my point. It's much better to wait 2 more weeks and get everything done right. It's not fun to start from scratch all over again in a few months.

I became PR in late 2017 and started residing in Canada towards the later part of 2018. I do cross the border for work (Windsor Detroit). I’m thinking ahead as my parents are getting old. My question is that since my income is going to be in the US, will it totally disqualify me from sponsoring parents even though I file taxes here in Canada ? Is it compulsory to file taxes for 3 years in Canada before being eligible to sponsor? I don’t want to waste a spot by entering into draws in the future only to be found ineligible.

Enter the draws! You are eligible to sponsor your parents. Enter the draws if you meet the Low Income Cut-off.

There is an exception to Canadian income rule. The following is directly from CIC. Here is the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/ip/ip02-eng.pdf and article 5.31 is what you are looking for. You commute to Detroit for work, but you reside in Canada and file taxes in Canada. That's exactly the situation this exception was created for.

5.31. Exceptions to Canadian income rule
The exceptions to the Canadian income rule are as follows:
• sponsors who commute from Canada to work in the U.S.A. can use their U.S.
employment income provided it is declared as income on their Canadian income
tax return;
• sponsors living in Canada who declare income from foreign sources on their
Canadian tax returns, can use this foreign income to meet the financial
requirements for sponsorship

Again, enter the draw! Here is the CIC link again. For those of you who are in the same situation, please read the PDF from CIC - article 5.31!

i sent the requested document 10 days ago by IRCC web form and they have sent an acknowledgement email. But in CIC account, it's still showing that they have requested for additional document. Do they ever change it to anything else? If yes, normally after how many days they change it? Plz share your experience.

I uploaded the PCC to my dads CIC account and submitted the originals to VFS in Manila because they also requested other more forms having original signatures, so I did both uploading in CIC account and submitted to VFS to make sure they will receive the documents that they requested.

Yes I am hoping for the same too medicals and PCC are done 2 months ago...it's so hard to wait but we have no choice but to wait

ECAS says it on process and medical result received and CIC says they are processing the background check and if I am not mistaken they started processing the background check Nov 15 last year...When I uploaded the documents in CIC Account it says the additional documents has been uploded..

What about yours?

Same as mine.

For IME, in my ECAS, it says they received medical, and in CIC account, it says medical passed.
For PCC, in CIC account, it says the additional documents has been uploaded.

What I've seen from other people in this forum in regards to additional documents were different than "it has been uploaded", so that's why I was asking.

Anyways, thanks for sharing the information, and hope that all of us hear good news not too long from now.

thanks, so it's not necessary for my parent to be in Canada till the report is out. She just needs to be here for requesting the report, right?

No they can still request it from outside of the country through third-party agency.
If the request comes in and your parents are not present in Canada, you will have to do it through the third-party agency I believe.
