Hi,

I am a permanent resident living in Canada and my wife is in India. My family sponsorship application is in progress.
I already received sponsor approval ( SA ) and the file is now being processed in New Delhi(NDVO).

While filing taxes for 2021, my CPA told me that I am eligible for tax credits (GST/HST and Ontario Trillium benefits) because I was unemployed in 2021.

Are the tax credits considered social assistance ? Would that affect my family sponsorship application for my wife ?
Please help!

I never applied for social assistance.

No it is not social assistance unless your were on Ontario Works.

Looks like you did have US income from 2021 so you may not qualify for those tax credits.
