Hello.
I am going to be a sponsor for my wife.I am bit confused in the very first question in the form IMM 1344.
If you are found ineligible to sponsor,indicate whether you want to- a) Withdraw ....? or b) Proceed....?
What would be the correct answer?
Thanks for your assistance.

I had asked the same question a while back. From what I have been told if you chose withdraw you lose your right to appeal if you are refused as the sponsor. Pick proceed it is your best option.

If you want your application back so that you can work on whatever made you ineligible to sponsor, tick Withdraw. In this case, you lose your $75 sponsor fee, all other fees are refunded to you and the file does not go to the visa office.

If you would prefer for them to go ahead and send your application to the visa office for the evaluation of your spouse even if you are ineligible to sponsor her, tick Proceed. In this case, the file goes to the visa office and your wife's admissibility will be assessed. However, even if she is otherwise admissible, her application will be denied because she does not have an eligible sponsor. You then have the right to appeal the denial and show that you are now eligible to sponsor her, provided you have corrected whatever made you ineligible in the first place.

The choice is yours.

I think 1 option means you lose your right of appeal and the other option means you lose that part of the fee if you are found not eligible. As said above definitely go with proceed.

If you choose to withdraw your application, you will get your fees back (minus $75). You can then reapply. If you were refused as a sponsor because of a mistake or something you missed that you can easily fix, it would be better to find out right away, get the application back, fix the mistake, and reapply.

If you choose to continue, the PR application will be processed but refused. You will then have to appeal. If whatever reason you were refused to sponsor has been fixed, you can win the appeal; you could also win on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. However, the wait for an appeal date can be more than a year, and then afterwards it takes quite a while to continue processing.

For me, it is better to choose to withdraw, then reapply. It will be faster. The only reason to choose to continue is if you know the sponsor will be found ineligible, and are planning to win on appeal.

If you choose to withdraw, then you have no right to appeal the decision to refuse the sponsor. However, if you choose to withdraw if the sponsor is found ineligible, but the sponsor is found eligible and the application continues on to be processed at the visa office, you can still appeal if the visa application is refused then. You have not lost those appeal rights.
