Sponsorship and walfare

[Princess2014]

Dear friends

I have several issues,
Someone I know apply for PR, but her husband get walfare coz not working
1) is it possible for someone get walfare could sponsored her wife and her children?

Then they move to another province in Canada coz her husband get a job, but still accepted walfare from previous province where They were live before.

2) could somebody get walfare money even though he working?
3) is it possible that previous province support them (walfare money) even though they move to another province?
4) she get above $1250 every month, sometimes she said it's walfare money, but sometimes she said it's child benefit for her children, usually how much money that government giving every child for child benefit?

I really confused for this issues, please help if somebody have any info

Thanks a lot

You cannot sponsor someone while on welfare.

1) No

2) Each province will be slightly different. This will depend on what his level of income is, number of dependents.

3) I believe wElfare is managed at a provincial level so each province may work differently. But I imagine they all require you to report if your situation changes(ie new job, change of address). I would be very surprised if what you are suggesting doesn't account to welfare fraud.

4) Will depend on income, number of children and province. I think you would need quite a few children to get that amount. I did a quick google search for this answer. Might be best if you do that since you know all information.

Thanks for answering, I tried to give more info :

2) I don't know his income, just only husband who working in this family (wife + 3 child from his wife previous married, not working)

3) the welfare she got from Quebec province when her husband not working, (the money transfer in wife bank account) , now they move to Alberta
if I not wrong she told me that they moving to Alberta without reported to immigration , but last I talked, she changes her story and said that told Quebec that she move ( a little bit weird )

No 4) he working in instruction company in Edmonton, (I don't know about his income) and have 3 children from his wife previous married

If they moved provinces started working in Alberta and are still taking welfare from Quebec, this is fraud (i.e. a crime). It will certainly cause very big problems for any sponsorship application. Not only will the husband have to stop taking welfare in order to sponsor his wife and children, he will also have to repay the welfare money he took fraudulently.
