Need advise on Default after application accepted for Parent Sponsorship

[Pamma97]

Hi guys,

Need advise from someone who knows anything about default?

Application for Parent sponsorship accepted by CIC for this year 2016.

I sponsored my wife in 2014 and she landed here in Canada last year 2015 Feb.
Now she is going to school and her education is sponsored by provincial govt. and federal.
so basically she is getting benefits from govt. for education which makes me at default I guess.

So my question is should I pay off her loan and not be in default or wait until CIC ask to pay for the loan?

how long it will take for CIC to know that I'm at default as file is already accepted but I think they won't touch it for years as there is backlog and I can clear her loan by then.

Please help and advise if anyone know how to deal in this situation.

Thank You!

It's only a problem if she's on welfare / social assistance.

If he has taken an education loan (e.g. OSAP) - that's not welfare or social assistance - and it won't create any issues for your new sponsorship application.

Perfect thanks that's what I wanted to know. Yeah she is getting Alberta education loan and federal education loan, don't know what it is called exactly but I think its Student Aid Alberta and the Canada Student Loans Program.
