Hi all. I am new to this thread. Need some advice, please.
I am a Canadian citizen and I have sponsored my parents to come to Canada in the past. They only lived here for less than a year and went back home. They do not wish to ever come back to Canada. This all happened after I divorced an abusive husband who my parents preferred over me. This husband was a co-signer in the sponsorship. Fast forward, I have now moved on and met someone who is not yet a permanent resident. I wish to marry and sponsor him, but I don't know if I would qualify because of having sponsored my parents. He also has a 3 yo son who does not live with him. My questions are:
- having sponsored my parents, I know I am liable for them for 20 years from the start of sponsorship (and so is my ex-husband). Would this disqualify me from doing a spousal sponsorship? How much do I have to make to be able to sponsor my future husband? (I have one child who lives with me).
- do I have to include my future spouse's child in the process?
- can a parent sponsorship ever be cancelled in case of abuse from parents towards sponsor?
Thanks so much everyone and happy new year!
