Yes, I declared him in my original application. But we checked not accompanying yet..he has undergone medical exmaination as well and he passed..now i want to sponsor him..will i be eligible to sponsor..I have a work now bt only a part time job..do you think we will be approved on the sponsorship?
As long as you are not in receipt of social assistance or have an undischarged bankruptcy, you should be fine to be approved as a sponsor. However, keep in mind that at the PR application stage (different from sponsorship stage), the visa officer must be convinced that you and your husband will be able to support yourselves when your husband lands in Canada. Keep working and in your submission letter, spend some time talking about how your husband's work skills will transfer to Canada and enable him to find employment.
Look, refusals of spousal PR applications (NOT the sponsorship portion) are rare under this section of the Act, however, it has been happening more lately. PMM found another case recently where the VO didn't believe that the sponsor and application would be able to take care of themselves economically once the applicant arrived in Canada. However, the applicant had no work work skills and the sponsor had barely worked for many years. I'm sure that is not the case for you and your husband but it wouldn't hurt to write a paragraph about the type of work you husband will do when he arrives in Canada.
Good luck.
