exception to 5 years spousal sponsorship bar?
If the sponsor is receiving social assistance, can she sponsor spouse? If No - any exceptions

reply will be greatly appreciated - thanks Nikki

1. No exceptions.

2. Yes - the rule still applies if the applicant is in Canada.

3. To qualify as a sponsor, a person cannot be on social assistance. Again, no exceptions.
