Canada workers Benefit (CWB). Is it considered as social assistance in spousal visa sponsorship. Please help

[guy82]

Hi,

I am applying for my spousal visa & I am getting Canada Workers Benefit (CWB). Is it considered as social assistance? I have read in some forums that its not but I still want the clarity. As my immigration agent is opting for "YES" in the immigration form for the following question

Are you in receipt for any social assistance for a reason other than disability?

According to him as I am getting CWB therefore the answer to this question is yes.

Please help me as I am confused right now.

I thought CWB is for injury/sickness compensation. So that's not social assistance.

thanks but why my agent is adamant on putting it as social assistance ? Is he misleading me?

Do you have two profiles asking the same question?
