Dear friends,
I have a question. When a PR sponsors his/her common-law partner with THREE dependent children does he/she need to meet the minimum necessary income R133(1)(j) or the exception at 133(4)(b) applies to him/her?
Thanks

You are exempt from income requirements when sponsoring spouse and their dependent children.

It might be helpful to have a sticky post with answers to the same questions that are repeatedly asked but new members. Minimum income, Option C, where to send the application, etc. That way members don't have to keep answering the same questions over and over again.

It still needs to be completed, as CIC wants to know how the applicant can be supported without welfare.

No, there is no minimum income to sponsor a dependent child. However, you should show your income anyway in order for immigration to know that you are not going to end up on welfare.
