Hello everyone. Both my wife and I will sponsor each's parents, and we also want to be co-sponsor for each other's families.
Seems the sponsor cannot be a sponsor again. Will CIC considers a co-sponsor as a sponsor?
I searched around for a while but didn't find any official interpretation. Does anyone have the answer and sources to support it?
thank you!

You can certainly do this. You just need to make sure you have enough LICO to cover everyone.

I'm not sure what you mean by sponsor cannot be sponsor again. I'm not familiar with this rule as it relates to PGP. You may be confusing rules with spousal sponsorship.

Thank you very much for your answer!
One more question
the LICO is the sum of the two of us incoming, isn't it?

Yes, you can total your incomes. Your total incomes must cover LICO for the number of people you are sponsoring jointly plus yourselves and your dependents (if you have any).
 
It's the total income of you and your wife (co-signer) for 1 of the application and the same total of your wife and you (co-signer).

The number of family members would be your parents + wife's parents + dependents of both sides of the parents + you + your wife + your and her children. (under 22 year old)

Did both of your get invitation for PGP 2022? That's really lucky.
