PGP 2020

Yes you might be eligible..

i have somewhat same situation... i checked with IRCC Call centre on mine..

2018- got married ....combined income $72K...(total family size 4)
2019- sponsored wife & Parents ...combined income $100k (total family size 4)
2020- co-signing for in-laws ...combined income $100k (total family size 6)

IRCC person said Since my wife DID NOT CO-sign the application hence our family size for 2018 would be 4...so i am keeping my fingers crossed for eligibility...

Whether your wife co-signed or not she always is counted in your family size.

Hi Guys, i got married in 2020 which makes my family size 4 (me,spouse,mom,dad).
Interms of financial eligibility, for 2018 alone i fall short if family size is 4 but with 3 i am covered. Given that my family size was 3 in 2018 , am i eligible? My spouse is awaiting spousal sponsorship and would not be cosigning. Please advice

Looks like they have recently updated this webpage too.

Example 2
Juan and Lise had a baby in 2019. Juan wants to sponsor his mother. Lise won’t co-sign the application. Juan’s mother doesn’t have a spouse, partner or any dependent children.

For 2019 and 2020, Juan’s family size is 4:

• Juan
• his partner, Lise
• his baby
• his mother

For 2019 and 2020, Juan must check if he meets the income requirement for 4 persons.

For 2018, Juan’s family size was 3:

• Because Juan’s baby wasn’t born yet, the baby is not included for that year.

For 2018, Juan must check if he meets the income requirements for 3 persons.

I have one question:

how and when they will get our 2020 NOA because they did not ask any permission in interest form for 2020 NOA?

Interest form is only for lottery purposes. They'll be collecting all this information once you're invited to apply and send in your application

No

We don't know. Probably December. Maybe January.

IRCC hasn't announced a date. Information from any other sources should not be believed.

once they start sending out invitations is it in batches over a period of time or all in one day? Can anyone comment on this based on previous years?

With above document, it seems this year's 10,000 applications got wasted. Am I incorrect in my interpretation?

I'm not sure why you think that.

A few people here were guessing 150,000 based on past years.
