Income requirement to sponsor for Supervisa

[PhdStream]

Hello guys,

I am thinking to invite my dad to Canada and sponsor his supervisa, and have a query about income requirement. My current income is enough to invite him (which I can prove with my employment letter). However, my 2016 income is not enough (I graduate in mid 2016 and started working from then) and thus, my 2016 NoA states less than the required numbers. Does that mean I am not eligible to sponsor my dad'd supervisa or CIC considers only the current income?


I reapply appreciate if any one with relevant information and/or experience share their ideas.

Technically, you aren't eligible. You can take a chance, but I'd suggest apply for visit visa. If your dad intends on staying longer than 6 months, apply for an extension and by the time he is done with his visit, 2017 tax year should be coming to an end. You can then apply for a super visa next year with your 2017 NOA, yes, you will be wasting your visit visa and spending $100 more, but less hassle and headaches.

Thanks for the reply.
