LICO requirment, when you sponsor your parents and then get married

[aresham]

Here is situation, I sponsored my parents and their depend children when I was single. Later on I got married. I didn't include my wife when I filled the sponsorship application, because she was not my wife. When I am updating the family change, I am assuming CIC should consider my wife income. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Since your wife is not a co signor her income cannot be counted in the application for your parents. I am not sure if you can add a cosignor after the application was already submitted.

You can add your spouse as a co-signer. However, this is not retroactive. You must still have met the LICO by yourself each year prior to adding your spouse.

Not only that but the family size has also now increased by one, therefore the LICO amount will have increased and you will need to be able to meet that increased requirement from the time of the marriage onwards.
