To sponsor your family members to come to Canada, you must meet the minimum necessary income requirement, known as the Low Income Cut-Off (LICO). The LICO is determined by the size of your family and is adjusted annually.

As the sponsor, you must demonstrate that you have enough income to support your family members after they arrive in Canada. This includes not only providing for their basic needs (such as food, clothing, and shelter), but also being able to cover any health or dental costs not covered by public health insurance.

The current LICO thresholds can be found on the Government of Canada’s immigration website, along with the specific calculation methods and proof of income requirements. It is important to note that meeting the LICO is just one of the eligibility criteria for sponsoring your family to Canada, and additional requirements may apply.
