    Parent Sponsorship - Pros and Cons

    I think all the exchanges taking place here while some are rational and the others are emotional, don't have much meaning because the die had been cast. The new rules are set up in a way clearly to lessen the burden on taxpayers and more on the sponsors. In the coming years I am seeing the...

    Some insights related to the current threshold of 2014 parents sponsorship apps

    After over 2 years of program being on pause, I am shocked that the numbers are not double or triple that amount by now. Perhaps the new financial requirements had a bigger impact than thought on how many people can qualify. I agree. The new program rules were not only extremely restrictive...

    sponsorship of parents and grandparents for Canadian Permanent Residence

    The problem is that paystubs are not veritable source of income for CIC. How did you know that CIC will not honor/accept paystubs and certificate of employment showing salaries paid to the employee as proof of income for 2013. Are you with the CIC? The CRA has definite record of income taxes...

    Parent and grandparent sponsorship

    Thanks to all who posted their comments on my post. While I value every bit of new information tossed into to this conversation, I can't but feel bad on the clear bias and seeming cruelty against parents and grandparents expressed by a couple of you. It is obvious that many don't like parents...
