I am looking to submit an interest to sponsor form next week, to get PR for my parents. I looked up the income requirements, and learned that IRCC requests 3 years' notice of assessment as income proof. However, it has only been one year since I arrived in Canada myself, and I have only the 2019 notice of assessment at this moment (and hopefully might get the 2020 assessment prior to the application).
Is this going to be an issue? I was in the USA prior to immigrating to Canada, and I can show income proof from there. Is that an accepted proof of income/funds?
Or should I wait until 2021 to submit the interest form?

Only Canadian CRA Notice of Assessments (NOAs) are accepted.
You will need 3 consecutive years of NOAs ie 2018, 2019, 2020 to be able to meet the requirements.
US tax returns are not accepted. US income is not counted unless you filed taxes with CRA based on US income and paid taxes on that and got an NOA. Which you did not.
Hence you will not meet the requirements to apply to the PGP program to sponsor your parents even if you get picked in the lottery draw.
Having said that the IRCC does not really check whether you qualify or not during the expression of interest (EOI) stage where you say you wish to enter into the draw. From past years they only require you to check off a box that declares that you do meet the requirements.
So you can enter into the draw and could get picked and capture a spot.
However when you do make the formal application they will flag that you only have the 2019 NOA and thus DO NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS and reject your application.
This would mean that you had taken up one of the 10,000 spots in the lottery but not been eligible in the end.
Hence please refrain from entering into the lottery even though you have every right to still participate in it.
