This is relatively simple. We only emphasize one point here. The Immigration Bureau requires that the guarantor’s income in the past three tax years meets the requirements, but It is not required to have obtained immigration or citizenship for more than 3 years. This is sufficient as long as the sponsor is already an immigrant or citizen when submitting the application. ?
2. Income of the guarantor
The Immigration Bureau determines the income standard for that tax year based on the actual number of people in your family in each tax year, but in recent years there has indeed been In the past, some immigration officers had stricter requirements (backward for 3 tax years based on the number of family members at the time of application), so we will not extend it further here.
In addition, before the parents’ immigration application is approved, the guarantor’s income must always meet the standard. The immigration officer can ask the sponsor to provide the latest NOA or Option C at any time to prove that his income continues to meet the requirements. ?
3. The guarantor must actually live in Canada
This requirement is ignored by many people. In other words, it does not mean that the guarantor’s identity and income meet the requirements. Enough.
During the period from the submission of the parent reunification immigration application to the final landing of the parents’ immigration, the sponsor must actually live in Canada to be eligible for sponsorship. During the entire immigration application process, even if the first stage has been passed, the immigration officer can ask the guarantor to provide various proofs of residence (various bills, entry and exit records, work certificates, etc.) at any time to prove that he or she actually lives during this period. Canada.
In addition, each sponsor can only sponsor his or her biological parents, their current spouses, and their minor children in all marriages to apply for immigration. For your spouse's parents, you can only be a joint guarantor, and your spouse will be the guarantor.
