Hello,
My dad (biological dad for me and my brother) passed away last year and mom (biological mom for me but step for my brother) is left alone in the other country, so we've decided to bring our mom over here.
At that time, I couldn't meet the income requirement, so my half-brother applied for the interest in sponsorship in 2020.
We just found out that we got invited for 2021 application but also hearing that a step-parent can't be sponsored.
I wish to know if there's any exception clause that can be applied to our situation and allow us to proceed.
Now I'm eligible to meet the income requirement starting 2018 tax year, which applies to 2021 application, so I'm having very mixed feelings about this current situation..
I can't get connected to Immigration Canada contact centre so I'm asking here for any insights.
Thank you in advance for the help!
