Regarding Canada Sponsor eligibility for Parents and Grandparents
<p>Under the Canadian Parents and Grandparents sponsorship program, one of the eligibility requirements for the sponsor is that &quot;they must be earning above a certain threshold salary for 3 tax years before applying to sponsor under the program.&quot; See <a href="https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1445&amp;top=14" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this.</a></p>
<p>I wanted to know whether the prospective sponsor is required to show sufficient earning <strong>in Canada necessarily</strong>? Would it suffice to show that the sponsor has been earning above the threshold since 1 year in Canada and since the 2 years before that in the US?</p>
<p>My question is, that if I am earning above the threshold in the US for 2 years now (or take 1 year), can I meet the requirement by working and earning above that threshold in Canada for 1 year (or 2 year respectively?)</p>
<p>Kindest regards.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1445&amp;top=14" rel="nofollow noreferrer">website</a> you link to says (in Footnote 1):</p>
<blockquote>
<p>To <strong>prove you meet the income requirement,</strong> you must provide your <strong>Notice of Assessment</strong> from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the <strong>last 3 taxation years</strong> before you apply.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This wording suggests they don't care about where you earned the money, as long as you filed a tax return in Canada for the last three years.</p>
