You're okay so long as you don't go on public assistance. You can go on unemployment if that applies, but not welfare.
Good luck! |

Your income or lack there of it is not applicable when sponsoring your spouse. You don't even need to provide an Option C printout (which I did anyway), they don't even look at your income!!!
I just found that out today after reading it on here, and then confirmed it with the CIC Call Center... just TODAY!
 Of course you still have to meet the other qualifications, but if you lose your job or made $1 in the last 12 months... it does not matter!
Refer to Page 9 of the Sponsor's Guide:
You will have to provide us with documents that show your financial resources for the past
12 months and prove you are financially able to sponsor members of the family class. You may solicit the help of a co-signer (must be your spouse or common-law partner). If you reside in Quebec, see also Sponsors living in Quebec. This condition does not apply if you are sponsoring only · your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner who has no dependent children, or · your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner whose dependent children have no children of their own, or · your dependent child who has no children of his or her own.

AGREED! At this age, I should know better. The forum helps remind me of the biggest lesson of all: We are not alone. |

Just to clarify... if you can get the Option C, then you should include it. They DO look at it
 You can sponsor without having an income, but you still have to show them you're not bankrupt. If you are bankrupt, then you can't sponsor. Or if you're on social assistance.

Re the original question: ditto that you can indeed go on unemployment benefits without it affecting your eligibility to sponsor your partner; just not on what some would call "welfare." I do not believe that becoming unemployed is a change in circumstance that needs to be reported to CIC. I am pretty confident of this. Being temporarily unemployed does not affect your eligibility to sponsor so there is no reason you would need to keep CIC informed of this change in circumstances.
Re option C -- While there is no minimum income requirement for spousal sponsors, I believe the sponsor does have to provide an option C or at least an explanation as to why they cannot . . . so if an applicant can obtain an option C, they need to obtain it and to include it! |

Bureaucracy is what bureaucracy does, or When in doubt, follow the instructions. Otherwise, follow the instructions.

What is the difference between going on welfare and going on unemployment benefits? Sorry I have to ask, being new in an entirely different social system. Edited by job_seeker - 01 Dec 2009 at 3:04am |
