Tips for 2016 (Future) PGP Applicants

[bergkamp]

One more thing, I've got to say that I am super impressed with UPS. Sending it from one end of the country and it making the 5,000 cap when going up against all the local couriers, which I had no idea about. UPS definitely gets my future business.

Any idea or speculation on when the official confirmation would come from Liberal to CIC...to charge the next 5K apps?

 

[wendolapm]

I personally feel...5K cap is reached...so we will have to wait until they get permission to charge apps between 5K-10K. I strongly feel we would qualify in that cap.

What? I thought the 10K was for sure? Does that mean it might just be 5K? Oh boy!

I think too that 5k is reached that's why they are sending AOR's to everyone and no new cc is getting charged.

hi.. im planning to sposor my parents when the sponsoship reopens again next year, Im not sure if im qualified though. heres my situation: as of 2015 we are family of 5 plus my mom and dad that im planning to sponsor so family of 7.. our income met the lico for this year but in 2013 i cant make it to the cut off if the basis is family of 7. but in that year we only have 1 kid. so family of 3+2 = fam 5. then we meet the lico..
Do i really need to include my kids that were not born on those past years? lico wise

You have to meet the minimum LICO for 2013, 2014 and 2015 for a family of 7 regardless of the fact that you only had one child in 2013. So, unfortunately it seems like you will only be able to sponsor them in 2018.

you should put FS=7 and LICO should be worked for all 3 years :
