****JULY 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA
- Thread starter revenant
- Start date
My application got rejected today because they said my sponsor isn't eligible on the grounds she's on social assistance. She was on social assistance for a disability, but ODSP was denied. She ended up getting a job a few weeks ago and we updated our application to reflect that, and that's when the denial came through. Should we appeal it or just resubmit? I was awaiting a BGC when the denial came through.
re-apply is the best option because the appeal could take years and i will advice your sponsor to stay out of social assistance for now. wish you best of luck and sorry for the news.
Sorry about the news. I suggest you get a lawyer to help out this time. I'm curious: were you the one that decided to send information about her getting a job or did they request for it. From your timeline, it would seem sponsor was already approved and the document you submitted (which they did not request) triggered a review. Is this correct?
We called CIC to explain what has happened and they advised us to appeal. She was on social assistance for a disability, but I think there was a clerical error somewhere.
We decided to submit it because even though I've done the medical and such, we never got a sponsorship approval letter or email. PA (me) being from the USA, they said the government shutdown halted a lot of stuff.
Hello Friends !!
yesterday we received pre arrival message in GCKey. But no any status changes are there on Ecas and GCKey account. Can anybody please tell what does it mean and what next now?
Thankyou...

That's normal. You get prearrival first and then background check and then PPR. You're on track
My BG
My BGC started 3 months prior to pre arrival message. When I checked GCMS note only security check is not started. Criminality check passed.

Do
dont reapply again. It’s more complicated and possibility of rejection is higher. I would recommend go for appeal. It might take time but no need to worry about next rejection.

What a lawyer can do? nothing to help with rejected app. All they can do is help with an appeal which is a long and very expensive process. If the reason for the rejection was fixed by getting a job and off the social assistance I would just resubmit, add a letter explaining that she is now working, and maybe statement from the bank if you have some money. add of course letter from the employer showing its a permanent job and if possible explain why she got the social assistance and that shes over it. The IRCC mention that disability is not a reason for rejection of the app so i guess they are just concern that she wont be able to support you so if you can show she working and that you have some extra money I think it should be fine.
Looks like your application is finally moving. Send the photos asap. Didn't you provide enough photos before?Got a request to provide additional marriage photos. We will courier it tomorrow morning. Hopefully this does not delay our process
