You basically need to show the govt how your wife plans to support you once you become a PR of Canada. I don't think there is a minimum wage requirement. You say your wife is going to go to high school? and currently you all incl. 2 kids live with her mom? If so, you guys better have a good solid plan about your future.

Hopefully more experienced members can give you better advice. Good luck

Hey,

AS the previous said - you need to prove to the government that you will not go on welfare. So even if you don't have a job, as you can not work for the moment, I suppose you have talked with your wife on how you will support yourself as a family - so that's what you need to explain to CIC. Include the information about living for free at your parents-in-law, get her mother to write a letter explaining that she will host you and provide for you as long as necessary ( she is not the sponsor, but she can write a letter), and if you have some skills that would make you employable in Canada, then explain that as well. there is no minimum income, but CIC needs to be convinced that you will not go on welfare once you get approved for PR.
Good luck on putting together your application,
