Dear Sir:
CIC has just updated Federal Income Table for sponsors of parents and grandparents.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5772ETOC.asp
Good news is that PGP is still open in 2015.
However, obviously, there is a mistake in the updated "Federal Income Table for sponsors of parents and grandparents".
How come the minimum income (MNI) 2013 for 6 persons is $73,072 ???
This MNI 2013 for 6 persons has been previously reported in government document, saying that :
"For example, under this regulatory amendment, a sponsor with a spouse and two children who wishes to sponsor two parents will be required to meet the new income threshold (MNI plus 30%) for six people (e.g. $71,992). (see footnote 11)" refer to Footnote 11 in government document, retrieved from:
http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2014/2014-01-01/html/sor-dors246-eng.php
The Minimum Necessary Income requirement, which you must meet for each of the three years preceding the date of your application, is equal to the Low Income Cut-Offs (LICO) plus 30%.
The 2013 MNI for a family of six is $55,378, so 55378 + 55378*30% = 71992!!, instead of $73,072!!
The wrong MNI table in CIC.gc.ca looks like:
http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2014/2014-01-01/html/sor-dors246-eng.php
MNI = LICO * (1+30%)
Family Size LICO +30% +30% +30%
---------2013------2012-----2011
2 p $38,272 $36,637 $35,976
3 p $47,051 $45,040 $44,229
4 p $57,125 $54,685 $53,699
5 p $64,791 $62,023 $60,905
6 p $73,072 $69,950 $68,689
7 p $81,355 $77,879 $76,475
The previously reported LICO table is:
Size of Family LICO LICO LICO LICO LICO
--------2014---2013----2012---2011---2010--
2 p $29,440 $29,004 $28,182 $27,674 $27,601
3 p $36,193 $35,657 $34,646 $34,022 $33,933
4 p $43,942 $43,292 $42,065 $41,307 $41,198
5 p $49,839 $49,102 $47,710 $46,850 $46,727
6 p $56,209 $55,378 $53,808 $52,838 $52,699
7 p $62,581 $61,656 $59,907 $58,827 $58,673
MNI = LICO * (1+30%), so the correct table should look like:
Family Size LICO+30% +30% +30% +30%
--------2014---2013----2012---2011---2010--
2 p $38,272 $37,705 $36,637 $35,976 $35,881
3 p $47,051 $46,354 $45,040 $44,229 $44,113
4 p $57,125 $56,280 $54,685 $53,699 $53,557
5 p $64,791 $63,833 $62,023 $60,905 $60,745
6 p $73,072 $71,992 $69,950 $68,689 $68,509
7 p $81,355 $80,153 $77,879 $76,475 $76,275
How could the MNI be changed so randomly ?
These measures have been legistimated, how could someone change the rules without any formal legal procedures? Where is justice?
Is it done on purpose or just a mistake? -- Using the higher standard of 2014 for 2013, and thus less people would be able to meet income standard for sponsorship?
People contacted CIC, but CIC agents do not care, and refused to look into this issue.
Anything we can do to tell officers about this obvious "mistake"? ?
Please see enclosed for detailed information about MNI and LICO requirements.
Thank you.
