[noora73]

Hi
Is there anyone who got refused for parental sponsorship because he/she or their spouse broke the undertaking of previous sponsorship?
i read cases where couples seperated and one gone on welfare.anyone where couple did not seperated but case got refused?any case?
Just wondering does cic rejects cases on this base?

Yes.  If a co-signer defaults on a previous sponsorship, they cannot be part of a new undertaking.  So if you are depending on the income of your spouse to meet the LICO, and they defaulted on a previous sponsorship, you will not be accepted to sponsor.

Are you saying you do not know if your sponsored spouse received welfare?  But you are not separated?  I'm sorry, I don't understand.  I would assume if you are asking this question that you know that your spouse received welfare and that you have defaulted on the sponsorship agreement.  Check out Canlii.org for plenty of caselaw of refusals where the sponsor defaulted.  There are lots.

Contact the office, ask them to check your records.  You may need to go in person, sometimes they won't give that information on the phone.  Make sure you find out your status FIRST and do whatever you need to, make an arrangement to pay back anything owing or pay it off in full at once.  Even if your sponsorship is rejected, at an appeal you can present evidence that you took steps to correct the default.  By the way, yes, you are in default, they went on welfare within the undertaking period.  You need to find out if the recovery amount was enough to completely cover all that was given to your sponsored family members.
