Hello all. This may be a beat up question, but I need help as our lawyer is telling me something different than what online research suggests. My father needs to be sponsored by mom (she is a Canadian citizen). She had been practically retired over the last couple of years (i.e. no income). She does own her own condo (literally, no mortgage), has about $50K in savings, and has no debt. My dad's income overseas is high and has been their financial support. However, the lawyer says that sponsoring my dad won't be possible for my mom as she has no income. I argued with her that they a) have enough if a nest egg b) my dad earns a lot c) my dad also, even whole working, has a high pension that can actually be deposited directly to a Canadian account if he so desires and d) if necessary, I will provide any paperwork that I can financially help them if all else fails.
She says that without income my mother is simpy not eligible at all to sponsor my dad (her spouse), even though all research points to a different conclusion. She is pushing really hard for parent sponsorship. But we said no. Her answer was something along the lines of "then application won't be successful".
Is she incompetent or am I missing something?
