Hi all
I would appreciate some grounded and relevant advice please.
I am a permanent resident applicant as a protected person. I have also added my husband to my permanent resident application a year after I've applied. We have completed medical exams 5 months ago and from information I've received a few weeks ago, they're now conducting background checks on my husband. This background check I heard is mandatory that is done for the places he has lived in the past 10 years (all of the police record we've provided from these countries are clean though). My husband haven't had steady jobs , he does construction and sometimes private jobs. He has also had accident about 2 years ago where piece of his finger has been severed which is very sensitive during the winter season. I have worked as a psw but is currently a nursing student. Presently I am only taking one course until next semester , ie sept 2016, so I've lost my eligibility for osap. My husband is currently unemployed so my only solution is apply for social assistance as we have expenses, 4 kids, rent , bills etc.My husband is worried that this move will affect his chances of becoming a permanent resident.I have been told before by my lawyer that we can apply because it's not a sponsorship as I am a conventional refugee. I really need the help financially but at the same time I don't want to jeopardize our permanent residency.
Any suggestions? Is anyone aware of such situation
Thanks , much love!!
