My case was unique , I initially did not meet the LICO , prior to applying in 2018 .
I use a professional small business corporation to save money and pay myself a dividend through the corp for tax saving purposes .
Prior to application and showing expression of interest , I had to request the accountant to show an increased dividend to myself during previous years to meet the LICO and pay about 5000$ extra in taxes . A long explanation as written by my accountant and small business lawyer( cost me 2k ) and a reassessment notice was sent including papers of my professional small business corp . This was accepted by CIC and we got PPR 2 weeks back . Overall worth the hassle
