Unfortunately healthcare can not be taken out of the equation like in Australia where they have a public and private system.

They can if they need to...

They can't actually.

Any idea what would be the LICO for family of 5 for 2019? I met 2018 threshold and hopefully will meet 2019 as well. Curious to know an estimate LICO for 2019.

Somewhere around $70K is probably a safe bet.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply, we are expecting a new member into our family in next year June. I might not able to meet LICO for 2020 with 6 family member probably short by 2000 to 3000 dollars. Any advise how can I fill this gap?

Only option is to earn a higher income.

Whatever your total household income when you file your tax return

It might be too late if not do so by the end of this month.

Hi All,
Need some advice here please!!
Not sure if I am eligible to apply for PGP in 2020 if I am meeting the LICO requirements for the following years : 2019,2018,2016,2015 (had a slightly low income in 2017)
OR
Do I need to meet the LICO for the consecutive years?
THANK YOU ALL!!

Consecutive 3 years. You don't qualify.

In reality everyone used to complain about the backlog but that was the best thing. Because you knew at one point or another you will be processed.

Other than the backlog and accept everyone all processes will be unfair.

There a few things they could do in order to try to remove duplicates and candidates that actually don't meet the LICO or other requirements like:
-Charging upfront fee and if application for same candidate is submitted twice then charge twice and take the last spot so double penalization.
-Asking for SIN number mandatory so no screwing around with the income and LICO stuff, or if there is problem with SIN number you must submitt your last 3 years taxes at the time of application

Just my thoughts.

If they ask to submit 3 yrs NOA than many applications will not be processed as half of them are assuming their 2019 income and applying .

This time it might be way more than that.

If have income for 2017 , 2018 and 2019 yet has to be filed can i still apply for my mother
