Confused - Sponsoring old parents from india

[sandeepcanadaianbanenge]

Thanks allura,

Do you know if brothers can be co-signers inorder to show more income to support both parents?
His income in 3 years might be good to sponsor 1 and mine might be good to sponsor the 2nd, So instead of 2 diff applications for my parents(which you suggest is not allowed), we can have 1 application with both of us being co-signers

Will Work?

I don't believe so. I can't say with certainty though, however, I have seen others ask similar questions and the only answer I have seen regarding that was "no, the co-signers can be spouses, but in the case of multiple children, only one child can be the sponsor".

That leads me to believe that you and your brother could not launch an application to sponsor your parents together as co-signers, only one or the other can do it.

You can wait for more clarification from others who have gone through this process or are more familiar with it though to be sure.

No - it won't work. Only your spouse can co-sign. Sibilings cannot. And Allura is correct about the two separate applications question as well. Either you have enough to sponsor both parents as one application or you can't sponsor either.

Hi Allura,
Can you point me to official documentation regarding that? I am unable to find where on cic website it says that both parents need to be one same application

This is stated in the guide under the section "How to calculate the family size?".
