Owing money on child tax and sponsorship?

[Mersiha]

i owe money for child tax (I am in the process of paying it off). I made a huge mistake and didn’t understand how split custody works and now I owe over $4000 to child tax. I am wondering does this affect sponsering my spouse sponsership or makes me ineligible ?

Is that what child tax is? Part of that .

By child tax, do you mean child support? As in money you were supposed to pay your former spouse for the care of your child?

No child tax like money I get from the government I owe

You had been claiming children's tax credits while not being eligible? I don't believe that counts as social assistance, so it may not invalidate your application to be a sponsor.

Yes I don’t know if that applies as owing child support or family payment

I just don’t want them to reject me because of that but it’s hard for me to pay it all off so I’m making. Payment s

You won't be rejected based on the following:


Who can’t become a sponsor
You can’t be a sponsor if you:

• have failed to pay:
  • an immigration loan
  • a performance bond
  • family support payments
• have failed to provide for the basic needs of a previously-sponsored relative who received social assistance
• are under a removal order
• are in a penitentiary, jail, reformatory or prison
• receive social assistance for a reason other than a disability
• are still going through the process of bankruptcy (undischarged bankruptcy)
• were sponsored by a spouse or partner and you became a permanent resident less than five years ago
• sponsored a previous spouse or partner and three years have not passed since this person became a permanent resident
• have already applied to sponsor your current spouse, partner or child and a decision on your application hasn’t been made yet
• were convicted of a violent or sexual offence, or an offence that caused bodily harm to a relative—or you attempted or threatened to commit any of these offences

I just don’t want them to reject me because of that but it’s hard for me to pay it all off so I’m making. Payment s

It is not child support. You can sponsor.
