Hi
Hello All, I am new here and have been not seen this question addressed in past posts. Hopefully someone can answer this for me.
My husband was out of work for quite some time and fell behind on child support payments. He is currently working and has worked out a payment plan to get caught up, but he wont get caught up for quite sometime. approx 2years.
My question is: With proof, that he has contacted and made payment arrangements which are satisfactory to the FRO and can get a letter stating so, will he be able to sponsor me? I am a US citizen and my husband is Canadian.
If I were living and working in Canada he would be able to pay off back support faster as our expenses would not quite be as much as it is due to having to maintain 2 households.
Here is what OP 2 states
"They are in default of spousal or child support payments ordered by a court. This includes payments ordered by a court outside of Canada.
Persons in default of a court-ordered or court-registered support obligation to pay support are not eligible to sponsor. This includes persons who are and who are not registered with the responsible federal, provincial or territorial authority as being in default of family support obligations are not eligible to sponsor. A
person who is unable or unwilling to live up to current family related legal financial obligations is likely a poor risk for honouring a future family related financial commitment. Sponsors must demonstrate that they have resolved the matter to the satisfaction of the responsible provincial or territorial authorities before they can be eligible to sponsor."
Now since he has a repayment schedule approved by FRO then he should include that with the sponsorship. That should overcome the above.
