ok guys... since the memo is out about new forms will be out dec. 31 that means there is only two day to prepare for this application.. we plan on sponsoring my parents and my wife's parents, we do meet the income requirement if you combine both income since we will be sponsoring both parents that a total of 4 people. have all CRA from 2010, 2011 and 2012, BUT
I have similar problems like what most of the readers on this forum.
1.We've been in Canada since 2009 on TWP and became PR march 2012.
Question: do we have to wait for 3 years as a PR before we can sponsor eventhough we meet the income for the past 4 years?
2. My wife will on maternity EI starting March( maternity) until Nov. 2013 this will bring our income down but will still meet income LICO + 30% will this be an issue?
3. Since all parents are still back home(Philippines) signing all documents is needed but by the time all documents are done then the cap are all met. then we have to wait..
4. I need help with finacial forms...
Family of four (4) plus 2 set of parents (4) = 8 person right?
Principal applicant is father then wife is dependant? = 1 application $450 + $550 + 75 total fee per appl.??
If my has a brother who is over 18 but will not accompany their parents , he will still need to be included in the number ( according to guide) but if I include him in the total number of family then the numbers will go up.... oh my Im confused..
If we are just starting to sponsor then how about the undertakings..
past undertaking V.S. current undertaking..
Past undertaking is very obvious to be ZERO or '0'
and current who is PR already is zero "0" how about current undertakings that is not PR yet? do I have to put any number in this spot..
I tried putting numbers in but it doesnt make any sense because the numbers dosn't add up.. Please help or even share your thoughts about this...... Thank you...
1. Do the calculation on CIC website when the program re-opens, as we do not know if the fees would go up or not.
2. You're only PR for 1 year, not sure how CIC would see this one, maybe member PMM can help on this.
3. Total of 8 seems right, make sure all income is above new LICO+30%
4. Each parental sponsorship would be separate application, you cannot send both in one envelope. So 2 envelopes, in your case.
5. Each one of you/wife must be co-signer. She will co-sign for your parents and you do it for hers.
I think the most imp. point is whether or not CIC accepts prev years on TWP as eligible for sponsorship.
If not, you will have to wait for another 2 yrs.
I personally doubt if they will allow it, but u should check with CIC
