    Sponsoring - How much $ is enough?

    hi iarblue, the official CIC website seems to say the opposite. "When you sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children to become permanent residents of Canada, you must promise to support them financially. Therefore, you have to meet certain income requirements."...

    Hi Cezvi, I remember it being around $150CAD, give or take. You can always give the medical practitioner a call and get a direct quote.
