Yes you are qualified, only if you're on Ontario Works you wouldn't qualified, the website states that you may not qualify if you're receiving social assistance for reasons other than being disabled which you are, you can look up all this info on the cic website, here's a link

No. You're not on welfare, you're ok to sponsor.

That doesn't have anything to do with it since it's not income, they just pay directly for your meds correct?? Disability is your main source of income so that's what they'll look at, they might need proof as to the extent of your Disability I'm not sure, some lawyers offer free consultations so there's nothing wrong with meeting with one even if you have no intentions of actually hiring one

thank you.. my mind is clear now.. im just bit confuse what are exactly those social assistance provided by the government other than disability.. do i have to put also my CPP benefits as my income and my other insurance that i am receiving?

yes! when i go to the shoppers and have my medicines i didnt pay nothing at all because of Pharmacare... im happy to know that i can sponsor my husband.. cant wait to see and hug him..
