IRCC twitter media corrected themselves, but later deleted the tweet.

Based on Immigration act 134 (1) and Exception (1.1), EI will be deduct from total income line150 in order to test income eligibility for PGP.
As the iRCC twitter person often reminds people he is only the social media representative. Unfortunately some of the agents can be wrong or there may have been a miscommunication. Unfortunately it seems as it has been identified that you won’t meet LICO if you subtract EI payments which is why they are asking for benefit documents. The application manuals have a ton of information included in them. Sorry.

@canuck78 you said the same thing to this 2018 applicant and her mom landed successfully in Jan 2019 ..

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting in this thread. I've been following the thread though. I just want to share about regular EI and Maternity EI. I can honestly and surely say that both of those EI count as income. My total income(with my husband as a co-signer) includes a regular EI for his part in 2016 and both my mat EI and his regular EI in 2017. I just got my SA this afternoon saying that I am eligible to sponsor my mom. Without my husband's regular EI, I would be short by $300 or maybe more. So I hope my situation answers some questions out there.
Regular EI should not count. Seems you may have gotten lucky. They will review your financial status again so don't get too excited yet.

@bdidol already posted the excerpt.

Before criticizing me for being wrong please do your research. I had already posted that it was in IMM5748.

Why would the twitter representative say yes, then correct the self and then take it down if it was true. Maybe there is a visa officer that is uninformed. There is the mention of a special HR benefit that could have put them over LICO. In previous years EI has also not counted. EI would run out at one point so not a dependable longterm income. Why would @joshijay3006 be asked to provide benefit information if they met the income cut-off?

Sorry I didn't get what is your point of argument? If you have any supportive policy or laws saying EI will be acceptable, plz share it. What happened to one or two person, none of us know as we don't have their details..but the policy or law what we were providing is very clear. If you have anything to show otherwise, plz share it.

wow..So we have reached to a stage where the bloggers are now claiming expertise over the VO...:p:rolleyes:
Do you know how many mistakes we actually see the are missed. The EI as part of the LICO is for general family sponsorship not PGP. The one saying PGP is not included is PGP specific. The CS agents tel, people the wrong information all the time. CRA customer service agents do the same. The IRCC twitter agent said yes then changed to no. We need clarification as to what the special HR benefit is. That could be why he qualified. It wasn’t considered EI. In terms of @joshijay3006 they are clearly asking for a summary of benefits received.

Finally today I was able to link application to my account. Thank you everyone for your help.
