So just to confirm... if my income for the year is from scholarships, which is non-taxable income, then this would not be considered income that would fulfill the requirements to sponsor family members?

Thanks a lot. So even if the applicant and co-sponsor only became common-law officially in 2015, they can still combine their income from the previous years..? Also, it states on the eligibility that if the applicant "received government financial assistance" they may not be able to sponsor...

Hi all. I understand that a citizen/PR wants to sponsor a parent/grandparent next year, in 2017, will need to submit tax assessment forms for years 2013, 2014, and 2015. I also understand that the applicant can combine his/her income with their common-law partner to meet the minimum income...

Yes, I wonder why that letter states credit only for international students, when the liberal promise explicitly mentions international students AND temporary residents (which includes temporary workers)! liberal. ca/ realchange/ international-students-and-temporary-residents

May I know why this would be the case?

Hi guys. I just don't understand why unemployment could be a reason for RQ. When we apply for citizenship, doesn't CIC already ask for the report from the Canada Border Services Agency which states all the dates we entered Canada? So if the applicant was unemployed for a certain period of time...

Thank you all. I understand that if the application was done before June 11, 2015, then the "intend to reside" does not apply to the applicant. :D

Hello all. If someone leaves Canada after submitting their citizenship application in order to do field work for their studies (Masters or PhD), in connection with a partner university overseas, will this be a problem under the "intent to reside" requirement? If the person is married to a...

This is a very nice promise -- I hope to see it happen soon. I wonder if the Liberals will also bring back the 3 out of 4 year rule for citizenship.

Thanks for the explanation. So what I understand is -- if the applicant arrives in 2013, did not have 183 days of physical presence in 2013, but applies in December 2017 -- the 183-day rule will only apply for years 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017?

Thanks guys, I get why they want applicants to be here for at least 183 days a year.. I just don't get why it has to be 183 in each of the four calendar years in the qualifying period instead of every calendar year in the qualifying period. Applicants could take six years to accumulate those...

Thanks for the response. Another thing I don't get is why they say "they must be physically present in Canada for at least 183 days in each of four calendar years within the qualifying period." Why four years? What if the applicant accumulated the required 1,460 days in a span of five or six...

The new law states that "must be physically present in Canada for at least 183 days in each of four calendar years within the qualifying period." Now, let's picture this: you landed as a PR in August 2013, but was already in Canada since 2011 with a temporary working visa. Would the months...
