If spouse sponsor does not approve???.

[newtone]

Yes it could be that there is no cut off for income but she definately needs to show some income. I dont know how much thats true realistically. Why would Canadian immigration have this sponsorship agreement forum that you and your wife has to sign where she is taking on a financial responsibility

 

[newtone]

Income is a big factor when sponsoring your spouse I don't know why people think otherwise. It makes sense to me, how will your spouse be financially responsible for you when they cant earn to support themselves. There is a reason they have the sponsorship agreement on the cic site, they would have stated otherwise

Why there is an option to continue case processing even sponsorship is not approved. why they dont stop working on application? I am confused regarding this fact. what happens when someone continue application process instead of withdraw the case after rejection of sponsorship. Can some one explain this?????

I am a Pakistani national living in UK. I recently got married, my wife is PR card holder.She was getting social assistance which we have recently stopped. She dont have any job. what will happen if she is not eligible to sponsor me????? Is it feasible to continue application process in second step without sponsorship is approved. Please help

She is off social assistance now, so she can sponsor you. The sponsor does not need a job or any income to sponsor a spouse or partner. But as other members have posted, the visa officer does want to see that the sponsor and applicant will be able to support themselves in Canada. So if the sponsor has no job, you must show that you two have made plans to be able to support yourselves once in Canada: she can show that she is searching for a job, you can stress that you will have no trouble finding work in Canada because of ..., give proof of any savings you have, if you have a house or car give proof of that and say you will sell them before going to Canada to raise money, etc.

Probably she will be found eligible to sponsor you. I had no job when I sponsored my husband, and I was found eligible to sponsor.

If she is not found eligible to sponsor, do not choose to continue with the application. Continuing is just a waste of time and money. If she is not eligible to sponsor you, but you choose to continue with the application, you will definitely be refused. But it will take a while to go through the system, and you will lose the money for the application. If she is not eligible, it is better to choose the option where they send the application back. You get your money back, minus the $75 dollar processing fee. Most importantly, you can see why she was found ineligible to sponsor, and work to correct that. Once you have fiixed the problem, you can then apply again. This is much faster and quicker.

Some people will advise to continue with the application even if found ineligible to sponsor. This is because it preserves the right to appeal. But to win an appeal when the sponsor has been denied, you will have to appeal on humanitarian grounds. This is not easy to win. Plus appeals cost a lot of money - since you will need a lawyer - and it takes a year or more before they will be heard. It is much better to simply get the application back, try to correct the problems, and apply again - this is faster and cheaper.

I have not come across any written documentation on the CIC website where the sponsor does not need a job or any income to sponsor a spouse or partner. If anyone finds out please let me know or send me the link

The sponsor is exempt from the Low Income Cut-Offs if he/she is sponsoring a spouse/partner.

Sponsors of dependent children and of spouses, common-law partners or conjugal partners
(unless they have dependent children who have dependent children of their own) do not have to meet financial requirements, but they do undertake to provide for the basic necessities of the sponsored applicants so that the applicants do not need social assistance. Applicants may be refused for financial reasons under A39 if they are unable or unwilling to support themselves and their dependent children and there are not adequate arrangements for their care and support. Officers should take into consideration the sponsor's financial situation and willingness to assist, as well as the financial situation or employment prospects of the applicant, if applicable."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf

The sponsorship agreement is signed in this context - so that the applicants do not need social assistance; i.e. so that Canadian government could legally get their money back from the sponsor in case social assistance is received.

Then they'll first investigate what medical problems she had and why she stopped, a full medical history with prof that she required to be on social welfare strictly due to medical problems. Then she'll need to show income and that she can qualify to support you financially for 3 years, from my experience its harder for wives to sponsor husband than husbands to sponsor wives. There are 3 cases I personally know which took over 3 years and all these girls had good jobs, they had a house, good bank balance etc. You could get lucky, you wont find out until you try

Where r u from? r u Canadian?? I do not believe Canadian Govt treats men and women any diff...they delay in processing could be based on a lot of other reasons( background chcks..etc). Immigration Canada is not going to delay the process just b'cause a girl is sponsoring her husband..and not the other way around. I also know a lot of girls who sponsored their spouses while in university and was working coffee shops...no such delay was experienced!!! As Fleo has posted' there is no minimum income req to sponsor ur spouse'!

Sorry but this is rubbish on all counts. As brin posted, you are not taking into account the OTHER factors of determining spousal applications for PR such as GENUINESS of the relationship, background and security, admissibility, etc. They will NOT require a full medical history of the sponsor to determine eligibility to sponsor. If someone is receiving social assistance due to medical disability, it is clearly stated on the Option C the reason for receipt of assistance OR the sponsor can provide proof from the relative provincial assistance program. You are making a mountain where none exists. If you want written proof, try reading the Act, Regulations and OP Manual 2. It is clearly laid out for all to see.

if u r sponsoring spouse there's NO INCOME requirement...i do not understand why some ppl here would suggest otherwise ....stay hopeful!!! of course u need to explain how u will support urself: how she's searching for job, how she's in touch with potential employers, how u r searching for job, how u'll get support from her family or friends there (staying with them, help financially) in case u will both need...even show bank account statements, show u have savings to start a new life in Canada, anything is good

sponsoring a spouse is different than sponsoring parents for example because most of the parents have very low chance of getting back in the job market, hence there's a strict income requirement for the sponsor...but the spouse will not just stay home waiting for the wife/husband to support them....they will both try to find job, have their own income, etc..it's a different situation

there r plenty of cases where the sponsor had no job and got approved...hopefully it will b ur case too

as for the medical, again there's no strict requirements regarding it...i'm not even sure why she would say she had a medical condition: she is the sponsor, no one should ask her that...i didn't see questions like that in the sponsor forms; only the applicant has to pass medical exam

also Canada does not treat men sponsors and women sponsors differently no matter where the visa office is...if the process is slow is cuz there r a lot of ppl applying, they lack in staff and some applications could have longer security/background checks...

good luck!
