Minimum Necessary Income Requirement?

[Beehivefive]

Hello again. Still getting my supporting docs together for my wife's PR app. I notice #19 on the checklist states a "Minimum Necessary Income Requirement," but I don't know if I need to show this. My wife is a US citizen, we live in the States and wish to come to Canada. I am Canadian. My wife and I have one daughter, who has her Canadian Certificate of Citizenship through me.

Do I need to show this income requirement? If I don't provide it, what should I do at #19 on the checklist? Not tick any boxes?

Thanks!

reread #19 carefully. it states "IF you must meet the income requirement..." Since this is a spousal sponsorship, there is no need to meet an income requirement, therefore it does not pertain to you and you can put an N/A.

Where does it state that spousal applications do not require the "minimum income" document? I do recall reading tat somewhere, but I do not remember where.

Also, would I simply write "N/A" on the document checklist itself? Or just leave the boxes unfilled?

You must still include evidence to prove your income (e.g. pay slip). However there is no minimum income requirement to sponsor your spouse.

Why must I provide a pay stub if I don't have to prove minimum income? Would my letter of employment be enough to prove I'm employed?

you have to provide PROOF of INCOME... scylla used a payslip as an EXAMPLE. Follow the checklist and provide what is REQUIRED. It is not necessary to provide a paystub if you are providing a letter of employment from your employer and an option c form. if you can't provide an option c form for whatever reason, then you will need to provide the ALTERNATIVE PROOF OF INCOME, which is generally 12 months of paystubs, as specified in the checklist.

All right. Pay stubs aren't a problem. I will provide the last 12 months worth. Would you recommend photocopying one every few months or so, up to the current week. 12 months of pay stubs would be a rather huge stack of paper. Just curious.

Thanks!

If your paystubs show YTD (year to date) amounts, there is no point in copying all of them. The most recent would suffice.

Also you should be including that Option C printout. All you do is call Revenue Canada and follow the automated prompts. It will be mailed in a week.

I got a proof of employment letter from my employer, and threw some paystubs just to be safe.

The minimum income only applies if dependents are involved
