You, the sponsor (and your co-signer, if you have one) must prove you have enough income to support all the people you’ll be financially responsible for once you become a sponsor. This includes yourself.

If more than 7 people, for each additional person, add: $7,121 $8,876 $8,740
Please note there are COVID exceptions for 2020:
Since many sponsors may have been affected financially by the COVID-19 pandemic, the income requirement for the 2020 tax year has been reduced to the minimum necessary income, instead of the minimum necessary income plus 30%.
Also, family class sponsors will be able to count these benefits in their income calculations for the 2020 tax year:
-
regular Employment Insurance benefits (rather than just special Employment Insurance benefits)

any Canada Emergency Response Benefits issued under the

-
other temporary COVID-19 related benefits
-
as long as they’re not part of provincial social assistance programs
