Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've got my PR application approved and planning to land in this April. Can anyone please explain when I will become eligible to sponsor my parents? From what I understood from the details present in their official website, I need to show 3 years of continuous income proof. Does this still hold true or are there any changes that have been made for this year? Is there any other program that allows us to sponsor so that I need not wait for these many years?

section D is for the applicant ,in this case it will be your father and mother
it depends how you filled an application or which email you chose to receive information ,un sequence the agent assumed that you will be receiving the information in this case you need to be assigned as a representative.

You need to file Canada taxes for three years with the minimum income.

Yes, that's right. You'll need to wait until you have worked in Canada for three years and meet the minimum income requirement. Then you'll be able to enter the lottery and hope you are selected.

There's no other program through which you can sponsor them. An alternative would be for them to qualify for PR on their own (without your help) through a program like Express Entry or PNP.

They can certainly also apply to visit you (TRV or super visa) while you wait to qualify to sponsor them and wait to be selected.

submitted my in-laws application on 19th October. We didn't receive any ghost update or email yet. Is it the case for most of you who applied around October time? Only change that have happened is program and category is showing up since today.

if you're a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when your sponsored relative becomes a permanent resident. You can't sponsor someone if you're a permanent resident living outside of Canada . I added this to the conversation to reinforce the idea that a permanent resident should be inside the country and in sequence have a three years minimum acceptable income any other exceptions would be related to the status of a Citizen and no one else .
