I think spousal sponsorships are exempt from that only for medicals.

Though it says there is no minimum income to sponsor a spouse or dependent children, CIC does refuse spouses on grounds of "financial inadmissibility", if they are concerned they will end up on welfare. In such instances, they will ask the person being sponsored to demonstrate their ability to provide for their family, failing which the application may be denied. There is one member, "gango girl" who went through this but eventually won her appeal.

The undertaking signed by sponsor and sponsored person (IMM 1344), says the person being sponsored also agrees that they will do all they can be self-sufficient. I'll try to find the OP Manual that talks about this and will post it.

Yup, this is exactly what happened in our application. They asked for my financials and whether or not I could support myself. I have no clue what red flags went up to make them ask that, but it delayed my application for a LONG time.

As for "importing Scotsmen," I think you're in the clear

so as it turns out.... per our case notes: "Eligibility passed I am satisfied with genuineness of relationship on basis of information on file. Wedding and reception were well attended according to pictures submitted. SPR was previously married however is now deceased. SPR married PA on XXXX-XX-XX.

Proof of contacts seen. I am satisfied that sponsor is residing in Canada. After review of the information on file, with submissions, proof of relationship, letters of support, etc, I am satisfied that PA and SPR are in a genuine relationship and meet the requirements of the family class. Condition applies."

they didn't even mention the fact that i had sponsored my ex in the past, let alone that he was from the same country as my husband. all that worry for nothing! phew
