Dear Mercury,
You seem to have quite a knowledge in this. Please let me know on my queries. I hold H1-B Visa from US. I have applied for Canadian PR under the skilled labour category. My medicals are over. Once I get my PR a)When can I sponsor my mother under Family class category . She is in India.
b)What documents she needs to submit c)Any other things to be taken care from my side or from my mother's side.
 
1. you have to be staying in Canada to sponsor your mother , you can not sponsor her just by getting PR and living and working in US
2. You have meet LICO
 
After you get the PR, approx 1 year after that you should be able to apply. The reason is you have to show 1 years worth of income in Canada (Tax documents/Salary slips for the entire year are needed). I dont know if income from working in US, but also paying TAX in Canada counts. You will have to ask a lawyer.

The application process is 2 part.

1) You have to apply for your own evaluation, which is whether you can support your Mother in Canada. If part one is approved then

2) Your mother applies for immigration based on Family class (Similar application as us).

The whole thing should take 1 year approx, if there are no problems in background check and no medical problems with your mother.
 
income in US counts

Mercury6: Income from US counts to sponsor your parents/dependents as long as you have paid Canadian taxes on it....the whole process of sponsorship takes about a year....
 
Thanks mercury6 and windsorguy2003 . Could you elaborate on paying Canadian Taxes on US income? I am not clear. Also is it possible to maintain my PR working in US? Any form to be filled for maintaing the status?
 
Actually I went thru the normal route, which is to come, live and work in Canada for one year before applying. But I dont think so there is any form to file for showing (or maintaining) PR status.

I did provide my proof of residence, Bank statement from Canada accounts, Tax returns from Canada.
 
Mercury6,

You had mentioned salary slips for the entire year are needed? What if someone is an independent consultant? Will proof of tax returns be sufficient?

Click to expand...

you would still get some sort of a slip or bank statement showing deposits for payments. Otherwise Tax return could be sufficient. But you should call CIC for this one. In my case I had all of them so I sent it.
 
sponsoring Wife / Fiance

Do we need to show proof of residence / income even to sponsor spouse / fiance?

AFAIK, Spouse can be sponsored without any requirments which are associated with sponsoring anyother relative.

Please comment!
