Why not pay off the debts? When are you getting married?

It is a big amount. Not sure end of this year maybe I just needed to know if it will affect my application

Should not impact PR application since you are married. But whoever you owe debt too will be happy when you enter Canada so they can go after you for the funds owned especially if it went to collections. If you have creditors, they can garnish wages once you start working in Canada.

Will impact your spouse so hopefully you have been upfront with the amount of debt you will be bringing into the marriage.

It doesn’t affect my application?

If your spouse is aware of the amount of debt and you can survive in Canada as a family while repaying your debts no it shouldn’t impact your sponsorship application.

No won’t affect your application

But by now your credit score will be in the toilet . And you can pretty well forget getting any further credit

As well some companies run credit score checks when people apply for jobs .

And saying it’s a big amount is no reason not to repay
You ran it up , you pay it

It called adulting

I think there was a misunderstanding when I said it’s a big amount. It’s a big amount to pay one time as now I am paying it monthly just needed to know if it was going to affect my application

No impact on application.

Since you never stated you were in a payment plan , that’s why it was mentioned

And as you’ve been told

No
