Super visa - Proof of income question

[lchazl]

Sponsoring wife's mother in law for super visa. I've been self employed for the last 8 months or so and income is definitely under the threshold. However we bought a house in March 2021 and rental income alone will put us over the top... but of course that is not reported on our 2020 taxes (NOA) because it's too early. Do they care about this or can they accept forward looking income?

Also I have investments that also are in excess of the cutoff, can this be used if the above doesn't work? Thanks

Investments do not count towards the cutoff. Only income counts.

Unfortunately I don't know the answer to your other questions.

Ok thanks, and do you any idea about the nature of timing of the income (present and future)? I assume it will be accepted as it's better than having income in the past and not now - imagine hte scenario that a person worked in 2020 but got laid off and can't find a job til the present, to immigration they look just fine.

You definitely need evidence of the income. If you want the rent considered, then I don't know if IRCC will accept any proof other than an NOA.
