One year without income

[hyouhaku]

Hi all, just submitted 2019 interest form, but got an issue:
I just realized that I declared only ~$3000 income for 2017 (I'm self employed and declared $80k for 2016 and 2015), just wondering if that's gonna be acceptable for sponsoring my parents.
Thanks in advance

If you live outside of the province of Quebec, then yes - this will be an issue and it means you are ineligible to sponsor your parents.

You will likely be ineligible as you need to meet the income requirements for each year, not the three years combined.

If you are sponsoring a parent or a grandparent, you must meet the minimum necessary income requirement for each of the three taxation years immediately preceding the date of your application.

Given the circumstances, why did you submit the EOI form, depriving someone else of the opportunity?
