Maternity EI counts.

Maternity EI counts.

Any money you receive from EI is income

 

[canuck78]

I don’t think you checked my question.

I am not using EI to meet the financial income to sponsor parents.

I am keep the income requirements without a co-signer and I have never used EI or any other benefit from government.

However I sponsored my spouse in the past, who has been in Canada for just over 2 years. So, I am still under spousal sponsorship financial obligation.

Further to this, my partner just got laid off work this month and has applied for EI last week.

My question/concern is, will any of this affect my application to sponsor my parents?

No I misunderstood thought you were asking if it was included or subtracted in line 150.

That sounds re-assuring. However its contradictory to what is mentioned on IRCC website that email with barcode is mandatory for applying. Not sure why they confuse people so much. Hope we all get the email soon!

When calculating LICO EI benefits that aren’t maternity are subtracted from line 150 for the PGP program.

It's your income but it doesn't count towards the MNI for PGP requirement. Read the guide.
You need to subtract it from line 150 from NOA if it's EI received not from maternity leave.

EI is taxable, you get 55% of previous year income as EI if you have not been working the whole year (max of $562 per week = approx $29K a year).
You pay tax on this income, its your minimum income in case you remain on EI whole year.

For PGP CIC is looking to see you yearly employment income to see if you can support your parents. Depending on your job situation, how long you have been unemployed and how you left the job you may not always qualify for EI.

Hi guys,
Do we need pics for both parents or just principal applicant??,
Pls help
Also if parents have no marriage certificate what else we can use.
Please advise.

It will be if you can't make enough for this year (after you find a job or not) and if they request you to proof your current income.

My husband will be co-signer and he already makes enough. But i will be working soon thou.

Hello, quick question. If my father-in-law already did his Medical for supervisa application last month, can this be used towards his PR application if still valid?

Thanks

You dont need to include Medical Reports before hand. Wait until they request.
