[immg.applicant]

Anyone has any idea how detailed the CV has to be?

You can’t apply for one parent. You must apply for both. The eligibility requirements are clearly stated - you must meet LICO for 3 years. You don’t apply if you don’t meet LICO. Go ahead and apply and see what happens. Just so you know if the program opens next year or the year after, and your file is still being reviewed for not meeting LICO, you can reapply.

Can you update your file with new income from the 2022 tax returns

If you do apply while not meeting income for 2019 and they may look back at 2018 and 2017 income and consider whether you just disregarded all the income requirements in 2020. You won’t be able to reapply until this is resolved so you risk waiting years to see if you are approved H&C reasons. There is a good chance you get denied so waste around 3 years not reapplying. There isa reason that they accept 23k application but they on,y think that this will result in 15k applications being accepted.

Thank you for your thoughts on this. It is very helpful. For not meeting 2019, and noting they probably will take more than one year to process the application, will they do a reassessment of financial capacity later to invite two parents? In which case, will they require 2022 Tax statement and therefore I would be above the requirements.

IRCC will not reassess based on 2002 income. The current PGP intake are for income in the years 2019-2021.

Any one received invitation today?

 

[Aryan2015]

The instructions are very clear. When you applied in 2020 you had to meet LICO for 2017, 2018 and 2019. It sounds like you didn’t meet LICO for any of those years so should have never applied in 2020 because you didn’t qualify. Assume IRCC may look back to see if you should have ever made it into the 2020 pool as well as look at your income for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023. They kept on selecting from the 2020 pool to benefit those who had qualified for at least 5+ years to prioritize the applicants who have qualified since 2017 but often longer. You wonder why IRCC accepts 23k applicants accepting only 15k to qualify and this is why. Most people who didn’t qualify in 2020 didn’t apply and followed the rule so why should those breaking the rules get rewarded?

IRCC is asking access only for last three years income proof immediately on the date you submitted the application, not on date of submitting interest form. So there is not a question now for 2018 or 2017 income requirement, that would be an issue if someone got invitation last year or previous year.

These are some contents copied from CIC website:


If you’re invited to apply, you have to provide proof that you meet the income requirements for each of the 3 tax years before the date you apply.


We can’t assess whether you meet the income requirements until you apply (if you’re invited).

Note: For the 2022 process, we’ll assess sponsors on their income for tax years 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Yes, they need to continue meeting the LICO (2022 and beyond) until the parents landed and became PR.

You need to meet LICO for 2019 regardless of how long is takes to process the application. LICO must cover both of your parents.

Noc not needed. Parents are not assessed on their merits. Sponsor will be assessed for the financial ability to support the parents for the coming 20 yrs undertaking. IRCC will look at sponsor's income from 2019-2021.
The key is not to leave any gaps since 18 yrs old. Just a simple one will suffice. Additional forms may be asked later for any government/military positions. IMO, CV for PGP is used for background checks.
This is the format I used:
Profile: Name, DOB, UCi
COntact: Tel, Address
Working experience: From mm/yyyy to mm/yyyy Company name/job title/one line description
Education: From mm/yyyy to mm/yyyy School name/degree obtained(or not finished)

This is similar to spousal sponsorship. The ability of spouse or parents are NOT important.
They want history of the PA and dependents so they can do the background check. (NOC is not relevant). Just put job title, summary of duty (high level) and name, address and contact of company (if still exist).
They also don't care of your parents' language skill.
