The child or grandchild of the applicant must be able to prove that they can meet the income requirements, identified by the Low-Income Cut Off (LICO). The purpose of the income requirement is to assess the ability to financially support their family members, especially since the responsibility that can come with supporting an elderly family member can be large. The proof may be in the form of a Notice of Assessment (NOA) or T4/T1 for the most recent tax year, Employment Insurance Stubs, Employment letter, Pay stubs, and Bank statements. The applicant must also provide a letter from their child or grandchild inviting them to Canada. The applicant must also have medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company that is valid for at least 1 year from the date of entry.
