Prior to January 2014, the length of undertaking for sponsorship of parents and their accompanying dependents was 10 years. After January 2014, the length of undertaking was increased to 20 years. In your case, your parents and two brothers landed in Canada in October 2010; therefore, it has not been a full 10 years since they became permanent residents. As a result, your parents and two brothers will be included in your total family size. Your total family size is 12 members and the required income for the year 2020 for super visa is $103,518. The required income for 12 members for the year 2020 for permanent residence sponsorship is $131,555.

If you decide to file your parental sponsorship application after October 2020, then your family size will be 8 members (your parents and two brothers would not be included). Hence, the required the income for 8 members for the year 2020 for super visa is: 75,582 and the required income for the year 2020 for permanent residence sponsorship is $96,049.
