Questions on sponsoring parents

[loveraymonda]

Hi guys,

I'm a citizen and if I submit a sponsorship for my parents, do I need to stay in Canada until they are approved?

For example: If I apply today, and then moved to US to work for a few years, will my parents' application get rejected?

Thanks!

Yes and Yes. Parents sponsorship requires residence in Canada.

And if not rejected for this, income earned while not living in Canada will not be counted, so you would fail an income test at a later date.
