sponsorship of parents and grandparents for Canadian Permanent Residence

[mmdl]

I see. Thanks for reply.

And one more thing: part of my income was in form of scholarship when I was at university. It was under T4A, so it was considered as No Tax Income. Is this amount counted as total income? or "the income" (which must be above LICO) is only "taxed" income?

If your father and mother are married (ie not divorced or legally seperated) I don't think you can just include 1 parent in the calculation, you may need to include both.

Agreed. Unless your parents are divorced / separated, you must include both of them in the LICO calculation.

I and My husband want to sponsor my parents and his parents.
We are planning to sponsor both my parents and his parents at the same time when the window reopens.
I have questions about how to apply for them.
If I will be sponsor and my husband is co-signer. Then for my parents, my father will be primary applicant.
And for husband's parents, His father will be primary applicant.
Can we have 2 primary applicants?
Is it allowed to be a primary sponsor on 1 app and co-sponsor on another, both at the same time.
And any one has any idea in this process in first step which my parent’s documents are needed?
I know still new documents are not there but I just want to prepare myself before that.

You sure about that, although I won't be doing this now but I was checking the financial calculation of this site here https://www.canadavisa.com/assess/canada-immigration-parents-grandparents-sponsorship.htm

It was option for mother, father or both when you chose 1 parent the LICO is smaller so doesnt that mean its OK or is that only for divorced or another parent not alive situation

Yes. 100% sure of the above.

See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5196ETOC.asp Section on How to calculate the family size? And specifically you must count "all family members of that person, whether or not they are accompanying." So if you choose to sponsor a mother who is married (therefore her family is the husband and any dependent kids) they all must be counted in whether or not they are also coming to Canada.

thanx, that clears it but its so easy to make mistake if you simply use a LICO calculator, lot of people would apply and then app returned ( unless they don't read the forms correctly )

A lot of times the CIC instructions in itself are very confusing. Lets hope when the new instructions and forms are released for parents sponsorship CIC will make things more transparent. Until now we are all making assumptions as to the "3 years of income requirement" assuming that we can submit 2010 2011 and 2012 CRA assessments and send in 2013 later. I think CICs timing is really off, as they should release the forms at least 30 days prior to opening the sponsorship program. I guess few more days and we will have some insight into how to apply correctly and not risk having our apps returned.

They say to make it fair, it should be mail or courier to Mississauga, so isn't that unfair to other provinces as people living in Toronto will be able to mail it quicker?

Parents sponsorship will need 3 years of income regardless of which province you live in.
