another question about sponsoring my wife thats already working in canada

[damien martin]

i have a question.... on the check list number 19 it states if you MUST meet the minimum income requirement and you and your co signer you must provide proof like pay stubs? now who does that apply for? does that apply for me who is just sponsoring my wife as a spouse? please help thank you

1 more question number 17 it says an original option c printout of your and your co signer last notice of assesment.... i dont need a co signer because im just sponsoring my spouse... does this still apply to me?

There is no minimum income requirement if you are just sponsoring your spouse. However, you still must include the Option C printout. If you do not have one, you can request a copy from Revenue Canada. If you do not have one for other reasons (worked outside of Canada in the previous year, didn't work or didn't file tax return) you should write a letter explaining why you couldn't include one and submit it with your application. Including copies of your T4 or pay stubs would be helpful too.

If you can get an Option C then you only need to send that.
