In that case it must be Social Service Ontario. The sponsor can call the MLA's office and they may give some advise.
No MLAs in Ontario it is MPPs. There seems to be a balance owing from previous overpayment so that could be the issue. Ordering GCMS notes is probably the best option.

Are you sure that every file goes through social assistance check? Because what i have heard they only select people wiyh llow income and the file gets delayed
To the best of my knowledge the social assisance check is performed on all sponsors regardless of income.
how can people with high income be able to even apply for social assistance? So may be they only go through the check with lower income sponsors that could have applied for social assisntance. Or may be they get very quick response for high income sponsor checks.
It's not necessarily the sponsor who has applied for social assistance. The sponsor may have sponsored someone earlier who subsequently went on social assistance while the undertaking was still in place. This would mean the sponsor has to pay that social assistance back before they can sponsor someone else. I expect this is what happened here.
You are correct. I missed that part. It's the possible undertaking from previous sponsorship.
Hi I know this was long ago, please could you guide me on how this was resolved. I currently have been waiting for the province to respond to the social assistance check. I reached out to Ontario works and they said they did not receive any request
Are you a protected person and did you get married before or after getting PR? When did you apply for sponsorship? The fact that you don’t seem to have much communication or time together may be the bigger issue.
I was a protected person. I got my PR in 2023. Then I got married in May 2025 and submitted the sponsorship in july of 2025. It is stuck at the sponsor's eligibility; they havent started processing the Principal applicant or relationship eligibity.
This could be due to many things. You appear to have spent almost no time together except when you got married. Is that correct? Did you have any family or friends attend the weddings since it appears you both had a traditional and court marriage. Assume this was in a 3rd country not your home country. Have you seen each other since getting married? Have you ever received social assistance and if you did when did you stop receiving it? Are you working in Canada and do you have the additional savings/income to support a spouse?
