I was thinking of sponsoring my parents, a couple of questions:
Currently my wife is not working, should I add her as a Co-Sponsor or not? Though my current income is above the Low Income Cut Off, just in case if the income dips below that mark in the next 3yrs (or if we have kids during that period). I can show my wife’s income. Would it make any difference if I fill the Co-sponsor column and not show her income?
Does the sponsor have to wait for at least 12months to show that he/she is meeting the low income cut off. Say like the year 2009 tax income (tax filed in 2010) one was not meeting the LICO but he/she get a new job in say Jan or 2010 and his/her income goes past the LICO. Can he/she file for parents immediately or wait for one more year?
Appreciate your response.

They (CIC) want you to fill in and complete the Financial evaluation form. So, they base their processing on 'the income and your ability' to provide yourselves with a sustainable support for a long long time. It is a very huge step for all of you.

You should include your wife as a co-sponsor, and as soon as she resumes work she will become an asset in your endeavor to group yourselves back once more.
With all of this in mind and maintaining a very good health due to the delays encountered is a must for the Parents who want to join you here and settle down. So, get all of the annual checks done for them every year and impress upon them the values of Cardio-Vascular Exercises as a routine thing for them.
Since you are in a good position to complete this form and also comply with their needs in it, you should not wait too long. Your thought process is correct and if you feel that you need to wait for their landing here to help you with your additions to the family, then, you do continue with your normal life style up until they appear on the scene.
