# Minimum Necessary Income for Family Sponsorship. ## To sponsor family members, you must prove that you can meet the minimum necessary income requirement, meaning that you have sufficient income to support all the people for whom you will be financially responsible. The income requirement varies depending on the number of family members being cared for in Canada, the number of family members being sponsored and whether the sponsor lives in Canada or Quebec. In order to qualify for some family sponsorship programs, sponsors are required to have a minimum level of income to support themselves, members of their family unit, as well as those they wish to sponsor. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada uses "Minimum Necessary Income" or MNI thresholds to assess the sponsor's ability to financially support their family members. The size of the family unit is established based on who is currently being supported by the sponsor in Canada and those they are planning to sponsor.
