question regarding minimum income thresh hold for super visa

[mb99]

Hi,

I was wondering if any one could help me with this query .I’m a stay home mom of a 20 month old baby. My husband works as an engineer. He has annual income of 50000 as per his T4 statement. He wants to invite his mother and father on super visa in the summer of 2013.As per cic.gc.ca : minimum income thresh hold is 49000 for 5 people in a house.

His parents will return to home in October 2013.After their departure , I want to invite my mother on Super visa ,people have told me that it won’t be possible under 50000 but we require a T4 of 60000 .Since embassy will consider super visa’s duration (2 years) for his parents even if they have left. After 2 years if they do not renew their super visa then in this case my mother will be able to come under current income of 50000.

1-Is it true ?

2- We do have a balance of 20000 $ in bank. Can’t we show it with our T4 of 50k to support the fact that we can take care of parents (total 3) along with our family .

3- Does embassy consider a infant as a person. some people have told me that unless a child is 2 years old ,he is not considered as a person under ‘minimum income thresh hold’

I would be truly obliged for your reply.We are on PR here since 2010

Best Regards,

Mahin

1 - True. If you want to sponsor your mother for a super visa you need to show income of $55,378. Otherwise you'll have to wait until your husband's parents' super visa expires.

2 - No. Bank balances aren't taken into consideration. You need to have enough income to meet the LICO requirements.

3 - You must count the infant as one person. It doesn't matter how old the child is.
