Questions regarding parent sponsorship 2020

[hodari]

Hello all,

I am planning on submitting an expression of interest to sponsor my parents and my under-22 dependent sister next week, but I had some questions. I've been living in Quebec for exactly 12 months and my income over these past 12 months only just covers the minimum income for 2020 in Quebec.

1. Quebec counts your gross income over the past 12 months. How is the 12 month window determined? Is it the 12 months directly preceding submission of a complete application to IRCC? Or is it the 12 months directly preceding the submission of the Quebec undertaking application?

2. If I am invited to apply and submit a complete application to IRCC in, let's say, December 2020 but the notification to begin applying for Quebec undertaking comes in January 2021 - do I need to meet the 2021 minimum income or the 2020 minimum income?

I don't have much knowledge on Quebec sponsorship. But based on the federal sponsorship,

1. No idea
2. It will be 2020 income, not 2021. Because you will apply in 2020 and 2021 income cut off would not have been released.
