Common law sponsorship / sponsor child
Hi, so my boyfriend will be sponsoring me and my son next month,
Do we need to have a minimum income/amount for my son to be sponsored. I read this on cic but have also read conflicting info
Please help,
Hannah

prove that you have enough income to provide basic needs for your spouse or partner’s dependent children. This means meeting or exceeding a minimum necessary income, which is an amount published yearly by the Canadian government. You must submit documents showing your financial resources for the past 12 months only if the spouse or partner you are sponsoring has a grandchild who is coming with them (see subsection 1(3) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) for more information). You would not provide those documents to IRCC if you live in Quebec.

Hannah if you read what you quoted from the instruction guide above carefully (IMM5289), you'll find the answer to your question!
