The Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) is a crucial factor to consider when applying for Canadian immigration. It is the minimum amount of income that an applicant must have in order to be eligible for certain immigration programs. The MNI is determined by the Canadian government and is based on the size of the family unit, and is used to determine if an applicant has the financial resources to support themselves and their family in Canada.
The MNI is calculated based on the size of the family unit and the number of dependents. The MNI is adjusted annually to reflect changes in the cost of living in Canada. The MNI is also used to determine if an applicant is eligible for certain immigration programs, such as the Parent/Grandparent PR Sponsorship Program. In this example, the applicant needs to meet the MNI for the last 3 years, and need to provide proof of personal income meeting the threshold.
It is imperative to ensure that you have the necessary financial resources to support yourself and your family in Canada. You must ensure that you meet the MNI requirements for the immigration program you are applying for to prevent a refusal of your application. This requirement is particular important in parent grandparent sponsorship cases.
The MNI is an important factor to consider when applying for Canadian immigration. It is adjusted annually to reflect changes in the cost of living in Canada.

In some cases, even not meeting the MNI may still have a chance of getting a favorable end result!
