Default Parent sponsorship - need advice

I have applied for sponsorship for my parents to Canada. The financial
evaluation part is not on the basis of Option-C printout, rather based
upon my income (payslips) in the last 12 months which comprise of the
following:
LICO requirement - A$
Income from full-time job - 90% of A.
Income from me and my wife's self-employment (professional fee) - 10%
of A (this was all cash but appropriately taxed in the previous years
IT return).

The annual income from my current job (at the time of signing
application - and proofed thru' an employment letter submitted along
with the sponsorship application) was well above the LICO requirement
(almost 150% of A). Almost 2years hence and I am still continuing with
the same job.

The questions that I have for the experts are -

1. Will the self-employment income part (although 10%) create any
delays/ problems in the processing of the application? Infact I could
have waited for a couple of months and would have removed the self-
employment income part (as is obvious from my current employment) from
the financial evaluation.

2. What type of queries (if at all) can I expect from the CIC-
Mississauga which I should be prepared for?

Please do reply - thanks

You might well be asked for an "Option C" printout.

Thanks Jim. This surely helps as always.

I had been speculating on that. I assume you are referring to the
current latest Option-C printout at the time of the application
processing (not the one at the time of signing the application).

Just curious though if it helps jumping the gun - sending the Option-C
unsolicited.
