Hello,

My parents are currently in Canada with super visa, I am waiting to submit letter of express to sponsor them this year, if they are lucky and got invited by CIC this year, then I can start the process, but my income for 2018 and 2019 were only good for family size of 3 (including myself, I am single now, no children), I got a new job in mid 2020 (annual income is eligible for family size of more than 4 ppl), my question is if I submit my parents sponsorship in 2021, then if I sponsor my spouse (can do either inland or outland) later this year or next year, by doing so, does it affect the family size declared in my parents sponsorship application from 3 to 4 people (in 2018 and 2019)? Does it affect my parents sponsorship which is being processed? If yes, how and is there any direction I can follow (given I have not started sponsoring my parents and my spouse) .

Many thanks.

There is no details on the 2021 PGP yet. In previous years, the family size was calculated with the family size when the application is sent in . So it doesn't matter if you sponsor your then wife. If you got married before the application is sent in, you need to count your spouse in the family size for mininum income calculation.
It may be different for 2021 PGP but we do not know.
