When I read online...there are pages that say there are no set income requirements to sponsor but then I read that there is. I am sponsoring my wife and her two dependent children. Will I have to meet certain income requirements for this?

There is no income requirement to sponsor your wife. Cant put price tag on love. However, if you show $0, that might create problem. However, you need to show IRCC that you can support yourselves in Canada without welfare.
Goodluck !
You should really only read info like this on CIC website, as they are the ones who handle your sponsporship app. And according to their website it says "There is no low income cut-off (LICO) for spouse, partner or dependent child sponsorships, unless a dependent child also has one or more dependent children of their own. If a dependent child you are sponsoring has one or more dependent children of their own, you must include a Financial Evaluation (IMM 1283) form with your application (see your checklist for more details)."

It also says on their website that you must show proof of income for dependent children of the principal applicant so this is why I'm confused.
