Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Eligibility Question

[xyz2017]

Someone asked me this question. I am referring that person as Tom here.
Tom is PR of Canada
His gross income (line 150) is;
2015 50000
2016 52000
2017 54000
2018 (expected earnings) 56000
2019 (expected earnings) 80000
Tom wants to sponsor his both parents and not sister. Tom's sister is 25 years old and is not a resident of Canada.
Tom is currently single and is planning to get married in Feb 2019. Current family size for income requirements in my understanding is 3 (Tom+father+mother).
Can anyone please guide if Tom will be eligible for parents sponsorship and can submit application in Jan 2019?
Any implications if he gets married after submitting the application in 2019.

We can't tell you because we don't know how the new process will work for parent / grandparent sponsorship. However my best guess is that he will need to meet LICO for 4 people (not 3). It sounds like individuals will submit something in January to indicate they want to sponsor - but won't actually submit the full application until later in the year (Feb? March?). If that's the case and he's married by then, he'll need to meet LICO for 4 people to qualify.

Anyway - short answer is that no one can answer your question right now and you'll have to wait until December (likely) to find out.

We do not know the rules for 2019 PGP applications yet. So it's all speculation now.

If he can hold off his wedding until his application is completed and submitted (and there was no error to re-submit them after he got married), then he can use family size for 3 for calculation.

He may need to provide proof later on for 2019 or later income for the updated family size after he got married.

current rule...check for any update on or before 2019

Do I have to maintain a minimum income during the processing of the application?
Your Minimum Necessary Income must meet or exceed the Federal Income Table for Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship above on the date on which the sponsorship application is signed until the day your family members are granted status as permanent residents.

Income may be reassessed at any time during processing if new information indicates that you may no longer meet the minimum income requirements or if more than 12 months have passed between the dates on which we receive your application and when processing of the application begins.

I understand he needs to maintain minimum income from the date on which the sponsorship application is signed until the day family members are granted status as permanent residents. But the part i still don't fully understand is how ircc would determine if he is maintaining the minimum or not in case they decide to re-access later. If ircc decides to re-access income in 2019 or later after he is married (family size is 4 now);
1. He will need to show he has enough income for family size of 4 (2018, 2017, 2016) Or,
2. He will need to show he has enough income for family size of 3 (2018 2017 2016) + Provide 2019 NOA or other proof to show that he has enough income to support 4 (for 2019 only)

You must provide your Notice of Assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as proof that you meet the following minimum income requirements for taxation years 2017, 2016, and 2015.

based on the current rule...if you apply in 2019....you will be assessed or re-assessed for taxation years 2018, 2017, 2016.

You mean, even if he submit completed application before his wedding? If ircc re-access later after his marriage, at that time, he will have to show that he meet min. income requirement for 4 persons in family (for all previous years 2018 2017 2016)?

based on the current rule..

before marriage......family size 3...taxation years .....2018 2017 2016
after marriage......family size 4...taxation years .....2018 2017 2016

Good Luck
