Thanks for your reply. I got a very useful information from the websit.
You said that the amount will be change every yr. How do you find this information? I wouldn't find it in this websit. Would you please let me have the web link?
If you read the Guide
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/applications/family.html
and check the page for Tables and Charts, you will see a Table 4 - Low Income Cut-off and that is the minimum income requires. It has a date "Effective until February 1, 2007."
Every year, they will recalculate the minimum income for each person based on inflation, etc (I guess), but I think it will be similar or a slightly increase.
