[digitized007]

hello all ,

i am new to this very wonderful forum .i need some information regarding parents family sponsorship program

my younger brother is living in REGINA CANADA .He is permanent resident there from jan 2017 .

he submitted the application for parents permanent resident under family sponsorship program in jan 2018.
he got the mail that u have been selected to submit a complete application to sponsor your parents and grandparents as part of the 2018 Parents and Grandparents Program.

my question is that my brother was married in February 2018 .he was also applying for his spouse for permanent residence ..

Can he apply for both parents and his spouse for permanent residence at the same time .

can he apply his spouse under spousal sponsorship program and parents under the Parents and Grandparents Program at the same time

He can sponsor BOTH his spouse and parents BUT the question is will he be ELIGIBLE to sponsor his parents, how many times has he filed his taxes in Canada? Please see eligibility requirements:

Minimum Necessary Income requirement for sponsors of parents and grandparents
If you are sponsoring a parent or a grandparent, you must meet the minimum necessary income requirement for each of the three taxation years immediately preceding the date of your application. The minimum necessary income requirement is equal to the Low Income Cut-offs (LICOs) plus 30%, taking into account the number of family members for whom you are or will be financially responsible.

Signing the statement of consent (question 8 on the Financial Evaluation for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship) and providing your Social Insurance Number (SIN) will allow Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to collect your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and request your income tax information quickly from Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to determine whether you meet the minimum necessary income requirements. If you do not provide your consent, you must complete the applicable form Income Sources for the Sponsorship of Parents and Grandparents and submit a Notice of Assessment issued to you by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for each of the three taxation years immediately preceding the date of your application. If you do not have paper copies of your Notices of Assessment on file, you can view (and print) your tax returns as well as other personal tax information using the CRA’s My Account online service. To register or login, visit My Account.

If you reside anywhere in Canada, other than Quebec, you may use the Federal Income Table to estimate if your income is sufficient to meet income requirements to sponsor. If you have an eligible co-signer (spouse or common-law partner) on the sponsorship undertaking, their income will be added to yours as a sponsor.

If you reside in the province of Quebec, you will not be required to submit an undertaking of assistance for the family members you are sponsoring at this time. You will be contacted when your sponsorship application is assessed. At that time, if you meet federal sponsorship requirements, you will be notified that you must submit an undertaking application to the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion (MIDI) of Quebec so that your income can be assessed.

Yes he can. He will need to maintain LICO throughout the process of sponsoring your parents, even if he and his wife have children during that time (add 1 to the family size for each child).
