If the potential sponsor is currently receiving social assistance, they will be found ineligible to sponsor.  If there's an ineligible sponsor, there is no possible way that the applicant will be approved for permanent residence.

1/2008-Refused
12/2008-ADR failed
1/2010-Appeal allowed

Hi abdul
You are ineligible to sponsor if:

•you are an undischarged bankrupt;
•you are in receipt of social assistance for a reason other than disability;   
.....and so on...... inter alia.

the application would fail at the very first stage

if a sponsor is on social assistance for reasons other than disability then that person is ineligible to sponsor. you will be wasting your time and money trying to sponsor while on social assistance.
Application sent May 13, 2010
Started processing July 22, 2010.
Decision made March 7, 2011
Landed April 13th 2011
The whole process took exactly 11 months!

Theoretically CIC gives you the opportunity to continue with the application even if you are found to be ineligible to sponsor. But application will most likely be refused anyway.

AFAIK, there is no such thing as right of appeal of sponsorship eligibility decisions. The only thing you can do is to withdraw your application and re-apply when your circumstances change: i.e. you get off of social assistance.

It's a very common problem, sure... but with very fixed answers:
 
In this case the sponsor is not eligible to sponsor.  There is no appeal process.
 
Yes, the application can continue processing - but unless the applicant is self sufficient financially - and can continue to be self-sufficient once in Canada (i.e. guaranteed job in Canada), I doubt that it will go through.
