Sponsorship- Dependant child

[harpreet007@]

Hey all,
A father wants to sponsor his 20 yr old daughter (who has 1 yr old baby and not in any relationship).
The sponsor has already sponsored his second wife in 2024 ( she has 3 kids all minors but non accompanied with her)

My question is what is the family count if he wants to sponsor his dependant child?
Do I count the wife's kids in family count?

i hope my question is clear!

You include your wife's children in the LICO calculation since they are minors. So you would need to show LICO for seven people.

Thank you for the response.
So even if the wife's kids are non accompanied we still count them as family count for LICO?

And another question, Can his wife be a co-signor for sponsoring her step daughter? ( the wife herself was sponsored this year)
