They wouldn't qualify as a family class applicant, period. They'd have to immigrate in another way.

Family class immigration is based on the family sponsoring the immigrate. Without a sponsor, it's not family class.

abdul, there's no way around this. The sponsor needs to be off social assistance to qualify. There's no appeal as there is really no discretion involved in the decision.

I know this may seem like a dumb question, but just to make sure I'm covered - Getting financial aid from the government for college (like grants, scholarships, etc) doesn't count as "social assistance," does it?

2/11/11: App rec'vd

3/21/11: CSQ app sent to MICC
3/24/11: Buffalo rec'vd
4/5/11: CSQ issued
7/13/11: AOR (forced after inquiry)
