hi thanks for your reply once again.
I got confused reading through the words on CIC website, where it doesn't pose any 3 years limitation on main page of eligibility.
Sponsorship eligibility
In order to sponsor, you must…
- be 18 years of age or older;
- be a Canadian citizen, Registered Indian or permanent resident;
- be sponsoring a member of the family Class;
- live in Canada;
- sign an undertaking promising to provide for the basic requirements of the person being sponsored;
- sign an agreement with the person you are sponsoring that confirms that each of you understands your mutual obligations and responsibilities;
- prove that you have sufficient income to provide the basic requirements for your family members in Canada as well as the persons included in your sponsorship undertaking. You may also have a co-signer
Also when asked for income requirements it states,
You must provide your Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as proof that you meet the following minimum income requirements for taxation years 2017, 2016, and 2015.
On reading it appears, that 3 years NOA is required only to prove that we meet the minimum income requirements. Hence, curios if we can show equivalent income for preceding years by virtue of our foreign tax returns.
