I am a permanent resident in the US that has a couple siblings in Canada that wish to sponsor one of our parents from India through a super visa. The problem is, my siblings may not be able to meet the income requirement for the super visa. Is there any way I can assist with the income portion as a person outside of Canada?
Income Requirement

To sponsor, your parents need to be selected in the lottery which happens once a year. It is oversubsribed so some parents are never selected or may take years. Only Canadian income is considered so one sibling has to meet LICO for the total number of people in the family. Siblings cannot combine their income. For sponsorship, both parents (if married) are included in the application. You cannot just sponsor one parent.
If for a supervisa, only income from one sibling in Canada will count. The sibling must meet LICO. You are not PR or citizen so your income is not considered. Only Canadian income.
The income requirement foir super visa is already relaxed (compare to PGP sponsorship). Your sibling(s) need to meet the LICO to spnosr them for super visa. If you decided to return to Canada, you will need 3 years of income tax filed in Canada (to CRA) to have enough income to qualify to sponsor them for PGP. (and then submit the interest to sponsor form and try it on the lottery)
