    Spousal sponsorship

    So border agents can't just issue a new visitor status record for him? He would actually have to leave and try and come back in? That won't work. He's married and has a child here. I should clarify, I was not meaning to go to the border. I was going to contact a clearance office, like in...

    Submitting PR app for someone, is there any time where a police clearance from home country is not necessary? Like maybe if they have lived in Canada for a certain period of time? He's been here since 2018.

    When paying fees online, do you still pay for the open work permit up front? I don't see it in the list under spousal sponsor.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Ok. I figured it was better to pay all this up front: Sponsorship fee ($75), principal applicant processing fee ($490) and right of permanent residence fee ($515) How do they take the fingerprints? I assume the person would go to local police or RCMP?

    NS and there is nothing like ODSP here. It's categories people are put in. This person is considered a disabled person with the feds too and qualify for Dis Tax Credit altho they do not work so cannot claim it.

    The sponsor just can't get off SA. She's a legitimately disabled person. She collects it as a disabled person. We don't have divisions here for strictly disabled people such as ODSP in Ontario. It's just SA with categories such as disabled, able-bodied etc... So, no options then? That...

    His status expired long ago, like probably a year or more now. Would they even give him any status back if he presented himself at local office? He is very afraid to do that, btw. He let things go way too long and now they're married and have a child.

    You can collect welfare as a disabled person. There is no disability pension for someone who has not worked and contributed to CPP.

    Social Assistance Recipients

    How does one find a job and apply afterwards? Also, if the person is categorized as disabled while in receipt of SA they could sponsor? So all they would need is proof of this, I assume.

    Social Assistance Recipients

    What does someone do who wants to sponsor, but is in receipt of Social Assistance? Can her spouse apply for PR on his own? I have a family member in receipt of SA and her spouse is residing here with no status. I'm trying to figure out how to get him legal and working (lord help me).
