Good afternoon everyone! Hope all is well.

I used an immigration lawyer for my spousal sponsorship application (which I highly regret since my case was fairly simple). I applied in July 2020 and finally received a letter in regards to paying the permanent residence fee $500 in December 2021. In February 2022 I received a letter from IRCC stating that my husband should complete biometrics. In March 2022, I received a letter from IRCC asking if I was in receipt of social assistance ever since I submitted my application back in July 2020. I was on social assistance from June 2021 to August 2021, I paid back OW the money I owed them. OW sent me a receipt stating that I've paid back everything, however they wrote down the wrong amount that I paid making it seem as if I was about $3 short when in reality I paid back everything. I didn't see the mistake on the letter and my lawyers didn't see that either they ended up sending that receipt along with a letter they wrote to immigration. Two weeks later, they sent me a letter stating that their concerns wasn't satisfied because I didn't pay back social assistance. I want to reapply again and do it myself without my lawyer however he's saying that my case is complicated and they want to charge me $5000 for reapplying... that's crazy. My hubby is overseas and I've been raising my son alone, I cannot afford this amount of money but I'm also scared that I'll miss something so minuscule in the application .


I don't know what to do someone please help I need some advice. Hubby is in Jamaica by the way


Thank you in advance!!

I think you should do it yourself. There are lots of YouTube videos WhatsApp groups and forums to help you.$5000 that's robbery

Hello everyone. I was on this thread 2013-2014 when I was going through the sponsorship process. I’ve been in Canada since May 2014. I came back to say hello and cheer to everyone in the process. When you are in Canada or when your spouse gets here; it really becomes a distant memory. I can’t believe how fast time has flown by.
