Your obligations as a sponsor begin when your family members enter Canada to remain as permanent residents. The table below will help you determine how long your undertaking will be valid.
Length of undertaking is 10 years after that person becomes a permanent resident.
Do I have to maintain a minimum income during the processing of the application?
Your income must meet or exceed the minimum necessary income requirement, as identified annually in the Low-Income Cut-Offs (LICO), on the date which the sponsorship application is signed.
Income may be reassessed at any time during processing if new information is received or brought to our attention that you may no longer meet the minimum income requirements.
