PGP with maternity leave

[Blueberry138]

Hi all,

I'm looking to sponsor my parents in 2020. My income is sufficient to support the minimum requirement for 2017, 2018, and 2019. However, I just had a baby and on maternity leave so my income will greatly decrease in 2020, which will be definitely below the requirement considering another +1 in family size... I'm thinking should I give up mat leave and go back to work early just because of this? If I don't, I will need to wait another 3 years to qualify... Is there any other way like investment income or capital gains can make up for this?
And do they actually check the income for the subsequent years? I see some cases took less than a year for approval. How likely is that?...

Yes, they do check on income for the subsequent years until your parents landed.

There's a previous post on this:

Investment income or capital gains are options.

You are required to meet LICO throughout the process until they land and yes, IRCC can and does check.

Do you have a Canadian citizen/PR spouse/common-law partner that can co-sign?

Before you do anything would wait and see what the program looks like this year.
