Sponsoring Parents while working in USA

[hershal1999]

Hello,

I have one question regarding sponsoring my parents.

Me and my wife both are Canadian PR holder. If I am working in Columbus OH and staying in Windsor ON, I am commuting every week from Columbus to Windsor. My wife stays in Windsor ON and work there. So I don't have Canadian income but I pay taxes in Canada as well as in USA. My USA income is some were around $70000 per year.

So if this is the situation can I still sponsor my parents and along with them I also want to sponsor my wife's parents? Can some one help me in solving this situation?

Thanks,
