[kandel]

so happy for you! congratulations!

Aww thanks is your problem solved regarding income?

 

[rajmalhotra7]

thank you for your kind reply, rajmalhotra7. we really get worried, we just cannot fail our application. Our application year is 2010. there are 5 of us (husband, wife and three kids), and we are sponsoring just one parent - our mother.
we had enough money in 2009 and 2010, but 2011 was not filed properly and we are afraid that we are falling short...
please do help us to calculate the lowest income we need to show to be eligible to sponsor.
thank you so much in advance.

For 6 people (5 in Canada and 1 to be sponsored), you need to make income as follows:

2010 - $52,699
2011 - $52,838
2012 - $53,808

does it mean that LICO includes both family and a sponsored parent together?

Aww thanks is your problem solved regarding income?

thank you kandel and rajmalhotra7 and raju735 - very helpful

thank you for all your help. after reading a sponsorship manual I got totally confused. they talk about valid undertakings and the amount of people of the previous sponsorship undertakings.

they explain how to calculate the family size:
1. yourself,
2. your spouse or common-law partner and
3. dependent children
4. the number of persons you are now sponsoring
5. If you have a co-signer, count all persons covered by still valid undertakings made or co-signed by your co-signer.
Calculate the number of persons covered in steps 1 to 5. The total represents the family size

Yes, I do have a co-signer (my husband) and he did sponsor me and our kids. So how can I count us all now, as myself and our kids are included in my co-signers valid undertakings - do we need to count us twice?
really confused now.

LICO includes for family members in Canada + persons to be sponsored.

You do not need to count twice. If your husband sponsored you and kids, that is fine. Now your husband is a co-signer, that is also fine. You jst need to make LICO for 6 people for sponsoring parent. No need to count twice because of previous spousal sponsorship.

yes, I totally agree with you, just that line from the manual "If you have a co-signer, count all persons covered by still valid undertakings made or co-signed by your co-signer." makes me totally confused as we are still under that valid undertaking.

thank you for your help a lot.

 

[raju735]

myself + my husband + 3 kids + our mother (just one sponsored parent)

so 5 person in canada (i.e. ur family members) + 1 person to be sponsored (i.e. ur mom) so total 6 member......in which year u applied?

 

[Luck786]

Hi Suin
Those people are like sponsered parents or siblings which I guess you don't have.
When I filled the form I just mentioned our daughters whose undertaking is until 18 years but didn't count her twice.I ddn't count myself because my undertaking time was done.But if we had some other family members sponserd then we had to mention them and also count them in family as their undertaking would have still valid.

You are just 6 people ,but if your and kids undertaking is valid I guess you have already mentioned in co signers form while applying.Thats what I did.
