Sorry for the long message. I am posting for a friend who does not speak english well.
- Sept 2017. Applied to sponsor parents, won lottery. I am married. I have a PR. My husband is a canadian citizen. Our child was born in canada.
- Dec 2017: sent application to sponsor both parents, though my salary for past 3 years does not meet requirement.
- 1 feb 2018: request was accepted.
- 4 may 2018: IRCC asks for copy of parents' passport. Sent.
- 18 june 2018: sponsortship request denied due to rule 133(i)j(i).
- 8 octobre 2018: request to remove 1 of my 2 parents from the sponsorship request. This means I adhere to the salary requirements if I combine mine and my husband's salaries.
- 8 novembre 2018: medical exam requested for *both* parents. Spent $ 900 USD on this.
- 30 novembre 2018: IRCC requests more medical info. Original doctor who made medical exam cleared up the issue.
- Dec 2019: second child is born. But this child is not in the sponsorship request as she did not exist at time of filing.
- 15 may 2019: sponsorship request denied based on article R(133)1.(i)J(i), unless I can send them additional info.
- 30 may 2019: i sent IRCC letters of support from my canadian siblings + husband (co-signer).
- 20 june 2019 : IRCC letter says they are studying my file.
1 august 2019: IRCC letter says the "progression bar" is now associated with my file. Also, I try and fail to link my paper file to online account.
- 12 august 2019: IRCC denies request based on R133(1)(j)(i).
I am confused because my salary (for 2015-2017) combined with my husband's is enough to sponsort 1 parent. It would be enough to sponsor 2 parents.
