Supervisa for grandparents

[watever1297]

I an currently a full-time student on OSAP - government loan but earning a little bit of money from a summer job. I live with my mother who makes about 37k. I would really like to sponsor my (2) grandparents for the supervisa but I'm not too sure if we're eligible. Based on the LICO, we would have to make 45k to sponsor both of them. There is some chance, however, that my mother's income will be higher by the end of this year. But I was wondering, is there anyway that I can co-sponsor with my mother even with the little income that I make? Or am I not eligible because I'm under government assistance (OSAP)?

No - you can't co-sponsor with your mother. The only person who can co-sponsor with your mother is her spouse or common law partner.

OK.
Just one last question. If my mother sponsors both my grandparents, will I be counted as a dependent child even though I'm over 18? I ask this because if not, then the LICO would just be for 3... or am I still listed as a dependent child?
Thanks in advance.

if you are over 18 no longer considered a dependant child http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2014-06-23.asp
