Did you make enough money in the six months in 2017 to meet LICO? If so, then yes - you should qualify. If no - then you need to wait another year.

There has been no announcement about the PGP2020 program. Given all the problems this year the process is likely to be different so nobody knows whether they will qualify. Program also depends on which government is elected.

Just looked at your profile which mentions you are working in the US. You would ‘t qualify if that is the case.

You cannot count any of the income earned while you have been living in the US towards LICO. It doesn't matter that you filed taxes in Canada.
