@Avani15 Did you find any information on the social assistance check in Ontario ?I am unemployed at the time i submitted my outland application and expecting a social assistance check in Ontario
We did write to the ministry office, they replied within 15 days about the status of their reply to the query raised by IRCC. Nothing more than that.
I believe if you are taking EI that is not considered as Social assistance but anything else is and while you're trying to sponsor someone it is mandatory that you're not on social assistance.

Yes It was long wait because IRCC requested Social assistance check for me. It was for 2 province Ontario and Alberta. My SA was delayed due to this.
Yes I found out about this from GCMS notes. Alberta is very slow in responding so if you lived in Alberta or currently living then send me DM and I will guide you to make it faster.

Its been a year for you and you did not receive SA yet ?
Can someone assist me for what is to be done when Social assistance check is in progress(Ontario province)? My GCMS notes say the Results of social assistance check are still pending.

Thanks Nainesh! It hasn't been a year but about 8 months now. The sponsor is a resident of Ontario and IRCC has received the reply from the province back in November but there has been no progress

Please, could you guide me on how you contacted Ontario about social check?

Have you ordered GCMS notes and seen that your file has been stuck for a long period of time waiting to make sure you have not received social assistance?

Everyone goes through a social assistance check
Hello, do you know if I can request a social assistance check? So that I can make sure if I have not received any before I start to apply? Coz the definition of social assistance is not clear for many services. Thanks!

You don't need to worry about social assistance check request to your province if you submit your T4 with apication. There's a line on T4 that shows them if you likely had assistance or not.

Hi!
Is there any document/authority that can prove that the sponsor has not availed social assistance/EI? (For Ontario)
Our file is undergoing social assistance check, but there has been no movement on the file since more than 2 months now. So we are looking to proactively submit some proof that we've not availed any social assistance.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Hey pls tell me were you able to contact them and when did you receive sponsor approval after how long then?? I am in the same boat please help
