Hello,

My spouse & I are applying to sponsor my siblings to Canada from a war zone country in one of the recent H&C policies; where an anchor is required to show proof of funds to bring their families to Canada.
My husband is sponsoring 2 unmarried siblings using his NOA for 2023; since I do not work.
Unfortunately, we are heading towards a divorce; and both my sibilings have received the request for medical which means their application is halfway done.
But, my husband is threatening to send a webform and withdraw the sponsorship.
Can we change the sponsor midway and I become their sponsor?
Our policy had 3 different options to show POF
1- Anchor's 2023 NOA
2- Money-locked in-trust account in a Canadian Financial institution for each person you are anchoring
3- a mixture of both.
I will be using option 2 for the POF, updating the statutory declaration and all the required forms before my husband advises IRCC that he is withdrawing the sponsorship to avoid the files being closed entirely.
This means the sponsor's Financial Capability (FC) will be reviewed again.

Will IRCC accept switching the sponsor midway? if not what would be the reasons? Is there anything else I should be aware of before I do this?
Are there any links for previous case laws relative to the matter that I can read and learn from? any IRPA sections that I can study?

Thank you!
