PGP 2020

[babybenz]

Thank you , i will have to apply for my in laws later then. Whats the wait period to sponsor my in laws after we apply for my parents, because my wife and I are sponsoring them together.

There is no "wait" period to sponsor you or your in-law Parents/Grandparents. The most important factor in this scenario is wheather your "total household income" for the past 3 years would meet (or exceed) the required income?
And what I meant by "total household income" is that, you will take your income on line 150 of NOA, add that of your spouse, you will get the "total household income"
Hope this help

Hi all,
This may be a silly question but just for knowledge.

If my family income is little bit short in 2018 but for 2019 and 2020 it is exceeded.

Does IRCC consider my application if total income of all three years is higher than the total amount of minimum income requirement?

Thanks

Unfortunately you must meet the LICO for each of the individual years (2018, 2019, 2020).

Then you would need to qualify for 2022. Hopefully your income in 2021 will exceed or equal to the required income.

I have an inquiry regarding what is asked for on the EOI form. I applied last year for my parents (2) which is in progress, and this year wish to apply for my grandmother. I am a single individual here in Canada. I have gotten DM1 already on the 2019 app, however DM2 is pending. Will I answer the following like this?

• the number of people in your immediate family (you, your spouse or partner and dependent children) - 1
• the total number of people you already sponsored and are still financially responsible for - 2
• the total number of people you want to sponsor, including their dependants (spouse or partner, and children) - 4

Thanks for all your insights.

Any insight from any of the members on here?

You and your parents are probably not dependents of your grandmother.

Btw, why didn't you include your grandma in 2019?

I didn't qualify for 4 people as family for 2016, 2017 and 2018. 2016 was the problem year for me.

My question is, with an existing app from last year in process, do I count my parents as sponsored already while submitting an EOI for my grandma? I think I see where I confused you, so let me correct my EOI answers. Is this how I should answer?

• the number of people in your immediate family (you, your spouse or partner and dependent children) - 1
• the total number of people you already sponsored and are still financially responsible for - 2
• the total number of people you want to sponsor, including their dependants (spouse or partner, and children) - 1

You have to count your family of 4. How about grandfather?

Grandpa is deceased. I met the requirements for 4 easily now. Would I answer the following with 2 to account for my parents?

the total number of people you already sponsored and are still financially responsible for

In 2018, your family size is 2 (incl you and your mother provided you were single and had no kid/s in 2018). Please refer the link below and see the examples to understand how to calculate the family size.
How do I calculate my family size to sponsor my parents and grandparents?

Thank you so much

I am so relieved

Thanks for reply.

That means the rule is threshold income for each year.

But overall final balance in bank will help to support family and parents.

Hello, all

I am planning to apply for PGP-2020 (If I'm invited), Unfortunately my father's birth certificate is missing. What explanation supportive documentation I should provide?
will supportive documentation be suffice?

TIA

Doesn’t matter. Income is still the deciding factor so unfortunately you don’t qualify.

Are they looking for total income(line 150 on Notice of assessment) or do I have to subtract any deductions from it? (RRSP)?
There is deductions from total income written right under line 150

EI (not maternity or disability) is usually deducted.

Hello,

Quick questions, I plan to apply for interest next week; however My wife is pregnant and due in January.

What income should I be looking on the table if i am sponsoring my 2 parents?

Would it be 2018 2019 4 people and 2020 5 people?

Please advice.

Thanks

By the time you actually apply your child will be born so you might as well include the baby in your EOI.
