Dependent child

[chiangmy]

I have just attained my Canadian PR in May 2019 under spousal sponsorship and have been working in BC for one year now. My spouse is now planning to sponsor his 10yr old son to come over too but he has no income at all. Am I eligible to be a co-signer? Please advise!

Sponsor dependent child has no income requirement.

really? so even if the father has no income and no savings, will IRCC allow him to bring his child over? it will be disastrous

Income requirement
In most cases, there isn’t an income requirement to sponsor your spouse or partner or dependent child. You only need to show that you have enough money to meet the income requirements if:

• you’re sponsoring a dependent child that has 1 or more dependent children of their own, or
• you’re sponsoring a spouse or partner that has a dependent child, and their dependent child has 1 or more children of their own.

so if there is no need to show income proof of the sponsor, does that mean there is no need for a co-signer?

From the above thread, does the application still require a co-signer? Sponsor is Canadian, has no income, wants to sponsor his 11-yr old son to Canada, wants me a new immigrant to co-sign his sponsor application for his son. Do I need to co-sign since income proof is not required for Canadian citizen?

There is no minimum income requirement. However, the sponsor has to show how they will support their family in Canada without welfare. If he has no money and no job and is supported by you, then you will need to include your financial information and a letter that you will support them. You don't need to be a co-signer to do that.
