Disability can be a factor if it potentially leaves the sponsor open to exploitation by an applicant.
It can also be a factor in financial support, as canuck78 said. While an app cannot be refused for the sponsor being on disability, an app can be refused under any circumstances if IRCC doesn't believe the couple can support themselves.
That sucks to hear.I hope it didn’t end badly.
I recall one disabled woman was sponsoring her husband from Cuba. She was battling cancer and I believe she was in a wheelchair. Many red flags. Initial application was rejected and she appealed the decision. She persisted and after many years the appeal was successful. Then after he landed, he left her shortly afterwards. Her last few posts on the forum was a heartbreaking update, and then she was never heard from again. I wonder what happened to her. So sad.
The one I'm thinking of was blind with a whole bunch of other issues and had never actually met the scammer. She said some very strange things.
Wow that sounds even worse. At least the woman I am thinking of had a long distance relationship for many many years and had many visits.
Yeah, that was the one that I was referring to. I had it bookmarked, as an extreme example.
