Family Unit Size - Grandparents, parents sponsorship

[sislam1]

Hello friends, I wanted to clarify the correct family unit would be.

1. So if a niece wants to send an application for Grandparents, and the niece is single...is the unit 2 since she is only applying for 2 grandparents? Or 3, which includes the niece? Niece + grandfather + grandmother ? Sorry if this seems like a trivial question for you seasoned people in here!

2. Also, the daughter who is also a Canadian, was working abroad for last 2 years and thus, not in Canada at the moment. But the plan is to move back to Canada. Would she still be eligible?

Thank you!

Family unit Niece + grandfather + grandmother = 3.

The daughter....you mean the niece's mother ie the Grandparents' daughter?

When you ask eligible as in eligible to sponsor the parents? Or eligible to be co-sponsor?

Only spouses can co-sponsor. No mother-daughter co-sponsors.

The daughter working abroad cannot be a main sponsor as she is not living in Canada

Her previous income abroad when she worked abroad will not count for PGP.

This is tricky. It depends if the older son is still financially dependent on his parents or not. A full time job does not always mean he's independent.

Hi,
I have few questions regarding PGP program.
I wanted to apply for my parents but they have 2dependants (my siblings) under the age of 22 and I am single and permanent resident living in Quebec. If I only apply for my parents then my siblings will automatically get PR along with my parents?
how much income do I need to require.
will I need to count the family as 3 or 5 including me, my parents and my dependent sublings.
2. I moved in quebec this year in February.
will they count the income for this year 2020 or it will be based out of 2019.
as in2019 I was in Winnipeg and not earned anything in quebec .
if they will count for 2020, Can I submit an interest on Oct 13 this week??
Someone please help me ?
thanks in advance.

It's not tricky. If he is under 22, he is your dependent under the IRCC definition of family.
