PARENTS SPONSORSHIP 2018

[GDAYS]

I just got the lottery ticket to sponsor my parents in 2018 They lived in the States from 2003 until 2012 only with a visitor visa. Will this affect the results on the sponsorship application?
Thanks

So they were in the US illegally all that time ?

I do not think it will. I know of other people who sponsored their parents from the USA that had no status in that country and they are here in Canada today.

Yes, they were illegal in the USA

Yes, they were illegal in the USA

No issues provided they are 100% honest about their immigration history in the application.

Thanks for your answers! Also, I can only qualify to sponsor one parent, as my income was reduced by my employer in the last couple of years.
My wife is not working, as she is looking after the kids. My parents are married and live together. Do you think I can apply to sponsor only one of them?

Then you do not qualify to sponsor your parents.

You can list one of your parents and non-accompanying. BUT your income need to meet to include both parents and both of them need to pass medical and police check.

Why did you apply if you know your income was insufficient. You must meet LICO x 30% for you, your wife and kids plus your parents.

I applied because I was ok for 2015 and 2016. Then the income that my wife had in 2017 for UCB was changed as non income and that is the only year I do not qualify for. I applied in the early in January before sending my taxes and did not know of this change. I have also another sources of income as meal allowances, internet, phone and a company car but I guess that can not be included as the goverment is only asking for notices of assessment.

The NOA is what's used to confirm your income. If your income for 2017 on your NOA is too low, there is no point applying to sponsor your parents.

Employment expenses are not considered income. They are only used to reduce your taxes.
