It is not 100% clear. I know someone got the AOR/bio and medical request, etc for the parents application without being in Canada for three years and the cosigner/spouse had the three year tax and enough income. I am not sure if the application will be accepted at the end but since IRC sent all these requests it seems it went forward

Do you know what their exact situation was? Can you contact them and let us know more details about their case please? It would be a great help! Thank you for providing information on this.

Upon further research, I found this phrase in the instruction guide,
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5772-application-sponsor-parents-grandparents.html

Your spouse or common-law partner may be a co-signer on the sponsorship application, regardless of how long you have been married. Your combined gross income may help you meet the income requirements. You and your co-signer must each provide proof of income from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the 3 consecutive taxation years immediately preceding the date of the sponsorship application.

As per the bolded part above, my understanding is the sponsor needs to also file taxes for 3 years to qualify.

Thank you again for digging deeper into this. I have done some research on my end too and I noticed the following:
"You, the sponsor (and your co-signer, if applicable) must prove that you have enough income to support all the persons you'll be financially responsible for, including yourself, once you become a sponsor.
If you’re invited to apply, you’ll have to provide proof that you meet the income requirements for each of the 3 taxation years right before the date of your application."
It doesn't indicate exclusively that EACH ONE has to provide proof of income for 3 years. Also, someone else mentioned on this thread that they know someone who has sponsored pgp eventhough they have lived in Canada for less than 3 years (requested further details).
I am sorry but it is still not clear because the income requirements are for combined income and not individually so I see a potential of acceptance of combined proof of income as well.
Can you please further help me with this? Thanks again. Really appreciate your help!

Can't login into MyCIC to check as it keeps kicking me out and brings back to the HomePage.

Tried different browsers... Don't have another computer to try at the moment, but will check later and let you know as it usually starts working after some time.

Try chrome incognito. For me it worked.

I did quote the information about someone else who seemed to get their application processed (application approval is still pending at this time). If you look at my older posts you will see that I found the same information as you stated above. Someone in the forum also said that "you" could also mean "you and your co-signer" in this context. Again the website contains conflicting information at different places.

The issue here is whether the sponsor is required to provide income tax for 3 years if the co-signer met the 3 tax years requirement, not whether combined income is acceptable because it is.

You can send a webform to ask them yourself but eventually it will be determined during the sponsor approval process.

Alright, folks. My parents' GCKey application page was updated last night showing the application has been approved, and detailing the counterfoil numbers and COPR expiry dates.

The Canada Post XPress post tracking has not yet been activated.

Good luck to all!

@Empirical-Scientist what do you mean when you say canada post tracking has not been activated?

We sent passports via canada xpresspost to CPC Ottawa on December 28 and till date it’s showing in transit. I have raised this to Canada post but was wondering if the same was the case with you?

Thanks

I think s/he meant the return tracking has not been activated.
Do you mean your send tracking still show "in transit"? It should be delivered by now...
