Question about Employment/Source of Income for Spousal Sponsorship

[violet night]

Hi everyone,

I had a quick question about providing employment/source of income when submitting my outland spousal sponsorship application. I am currently a full-time student in university, and thus unemployed due to the irregular class timings and volunteering responsibilities I have. I have applied to a couple of jobs in the past year, but no such luck with landing one yet. I am going to attach a letter detailing how I will support my spouse, and my parents have agreed to take responsibility for us until I find a job. They will also write a letter on my behalf stating their willingness to take responsibility. Are there any other documents I should submit along with the letter for the source of income? Do I need to submit my tax returns for the year showing I have no income? Has anyone been/is currently in this situation? I am worried the immigration officers will think I am not able to support my spouse due to being a student.

Thank you!

You need to submit your financial documents, any savings accounts, etc. Your parents should provide their financial information like NOA, savings accounts, etc. to show they have the extra income to support you and your spouse until you are able to find employment. If your spouse has savings you should also include this. If you or your spouse have lined up jobs upon graduation or when he gets PR you can include that as well. Some are lucky enough to have family or friends who have offered a spouse arriving from abroad a job once they arrive.
