Example 2
Juan and Lise had a baby in 2017. Juan wants to sponsor his mother. Lise won’t co-sign the application. Juan’s mother doesn’t have a spouse, partner or any dependent children.

For 2017 and 2018, Juan’s family size is 4:

• Juan
• his partner, Lise
• his baby
• his mother

For 2017 and 2018, Juan must check if he meets the income requirement for 4 persons.

For 2016, Juan’s family size was 3:

• Because Juan’s baby wasn’t born yet, the baby is not included for that year.

For 2016, Juan must check if he meets the income requirements for 3 persons.

Example 3
Ryan and Anne became common-law partners in 2017. They had a baby in 2018. Ryan wants to sponsor his grandmother and grandfather. Ryan’s grandparents don’t have any dependent children. Anne will be the co-signer.

If Ryan wants to sponsor his grandparents in 2019, Ryan and Anne (together) have to meet the income requirements for 2018, 2017 and 2016.

In 2016, Ryan’s family size was 3:

• Ryan
• his grandmother and grandfather

In 2017, Ryan’s family size was 4:

• Ryan
• his grandmother and grandfather
• his partner, Anne

In 2018, Ryan’s family size was 5:

• Ryan
• his grandmother and grandfather
• his partner, Anne
• his baby

Even though Anne is only included in the family size in 2017, she has to provide her proof of income for 2018, 2017 and 2016, as she’s the co-signer on the application.

I try to find example for deceased dependent family members but it has been shown on website. Tweeter says count deceased family members but I guess this applies when you submitted your application and in process when a family member deceased in 2018, they would be counted only 2016,2017. Because Family size is calculated at the time we submit application. Advisors on Tweeter have never confirmed my question. Just answered in general and repeated similarly for different questions.
Or for example, if someone divorced in 2018 and will submit application in 2019, do he/she has to count ex-spouse in 2016,2017, as family member?? Both will have the same result but haven't confirmed yet.

I hope too as I haven't got it either. Even though it's a very generic reminder email but not getting it me makes me worried about CIC having my email address correct. Even though they sent the original invitation to my email address, anxiety still taking over

I did not get it too and it seems, if the application was received in April or on first days of May did not get anything too.

Can someone please share link for how many of us received AOR?

Unfortunately it is not so straightforward this year, as it was last year, as the guide is not consistent with the explanation and nobody can help you at this stage, the only way is to send your application with appropriate explanation and hope for the best.

For deceased family members you would have to count them the years they were still alive or the year they were deceased. And then not count them for the years after they had passed away.

makes logical sense to me. A deceased person should not count as a family member after they have passed on.

If CIC applies this for years to count back it would be very complicated. Previous years, a person WAS dependant (under 22, not married,..), do we count who was dependant for previous years?? How about a sponsor or principal applicant divorced in 2018?? Do they count ex-spouse or partner in 2016,2017?? I got confused when they say count deceased family members which does not go with examples or explanation. I guess CIC just changed the law and has not decided about complicated cases. Probably next year they will indicate clearly explanation and examples. Guide says count family members SPONSOR will financially responsible for. How does a sponsor responsible for deceased family member??

When count LICO & family member, follow this simple rule:

The year your family member increase (marriage, birth) or decrease (divorce, death), you have to use that number for that year only (and subsequent yr) as a count.

agree. The same logic for new born

Not true. The reminder email is sent to all sponsors over a span of a few days in the same order the invitations were sent out.

 

[BadshahIqbal]
