PGP 2020

Hi All I have a question.

my brother qualifies to apply for our parents lottery. here is his case:

*) 2018 - his and his wife income combines qualify
*) 2019 - alone his income qualifies (his wife does not have any income in 2019)
*) 2020 - his and his wife income combines qualify

my question is that can he and his wife apply separately to increase chances to get picked from lottery ?

Unfortunately, wife cannot sponsor her in-laws. Only the principal applicant can apply, and wife can co-sign the application (to meet income requirements). Here is a quote from the EOI form:

You can't sponsor your in-laws. You can only sponsor your own parents and grandparents.

If you want to co-sign your in-law's application, your spouse or partner must be the one who's invited to apply as a sponsor.

Even if you're invited to apply, you can't:

• use your invitation to sponsor your in-laws
• use your invitation to be the co-signer on your in-law's application
• transfer your invitation to your spouse or partner for them to sponsor their parent or grandparent

No. His wife cannot sponsor his parents. Only he can sponsor his parents.

Hello everyone. Thanks for all the knowledge provided in this forum.
I have a question. My income for year 2018 is lower than the required, so is it possible to fill the tax for the remaining income needed at this point of time?

you can try re-do your tax for 2018, but that will raise a redflag for CRA for sure...

Hi Guys, i got married in 2020 which makes my family size 4 (me,spouse,mom,dad).
Interms of financial eligibility, for 2018 alone i fall short if family size is 4 but with 3 i am covered. Given that my family size was 3 in 2018 , am i eligible? My spouse is awaiting spousal sponsorship and would not be cosigning. Please advice

Tax fraud is a crime just remember that. CRA is not someone you want to mess with.

Yes, you can sponsor her. And no you don't need to add her to the interest form, there's no field for dependent children in the form. Only parents and grandparents. I am in the same situation. My understanding is dependent children are added once we apply.

You also have to include her in your family size and make sure you meet the income requirement.
