Hi,
I recently got selected to sponsor my mother for 2018.
When I initially applied I saw the information in the link below which says that for a family of 3 the minimum income should be 38.185$.

However I see now another link which says that should be 48,00 for 2016.

My income for 2016 is 45000$ and I miss the amount by 3000 dollars as I was on maternity leave that year.
My husband can co-sign, but the problem is that he was also on parental leave too until Feb 2016 and later after Feb 2016 he went on unemployment and received EI since his job consisted of him staying away from his family.
My question is: Is EI taken into consideration as income. We both were on EI that year since I was on maternity leave, but I started working in April 2016. Is EI considered as income and do we qualify......Thank you for your
