Questions about co-sign with common-law partner
To give some context:
- I meet the income to sponsor my mother for the tax years 2018, 2017.(responsible for 2, my and my mom)
- Unfortunately in 2016 I was in school and I do not meet the income for that tax year
- My income in 2018, 2017 only make the same if you were to sum the minium required for 2018,2017,2016
- Given that I do not seem to meet the income requirement for 2016, my common-law partner will help me co-sign the application so we meet the income to sponsor my mother
Questions:
- If my common-law partner wants to sponsor her mother and father in the future, will this undertaking for my mother affect my common-law partner's application to sponsor his mom and father later in the future? How? She will need to provide additional incomes for your parents as well. For example, in order to sponsor her parents, she will to provide income for 4 people (2 of hers and 2 of yours)
- Will my common-law partner be able to sponsor her mother and father in the future? Depending on level of income
- If for the 2018, and 2017 my income (not my common-law's addition) sums more in total than what is required for the three years 2018,2017,2016, is it possible still to be eligible or not to apply without a co-signer? No you cannot, it must be year by year
It seems unfair that not showing enough income for 1 specific year makes you not eligible to apply and then have to have someone to co-sign and make this person responsible for 20 years. Any thoughs on this? Anyone in similar situation?
