Iam a mother of 3, ages 5, 3 and 2. I have my parents here for 4 yrs. now as super visa. I am a only daughter and want to sponsor my parents this 2018. My concerns are the ff:
* im a bit confused on how to count our household members because my parents are here in Canada lives with us. We are 7 total in the house.
*is the total minimum income refers to line 150 in NOA for 3 consecutive years?
* can my parents extend/renew their Super Visa inside Canada?
Hope someone can give me clarifications on these.
It's a big help.
If it's you + spouse + 3 kids + 2 parents being sponsored, your family size is 7. It doesn't matter if parents are living in Canada or elsewhere, they are always included in your family size.
This means you and your spouse (assuming he will be a co-signer) need to have tax returns totaling approx $81-$83K combined, for past 3 years. This may be going back to 2014 or 2015, depending what the rules will be for 2018 sponsorship.
Only if you meet the income requirements, can you then put in a lottery submission in January 2018.
Yes you can apply to extend their supervisa while in Canada. See here, under "Extend your stay": http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/supervisa.asp
