Can someone who was on EI co-sponsor

[kelseyA]

I want my husband to be a co-sponsor. He was on Employment insurance. Is he eligible to be a co-signer with EI income?

as far as i know, as long as he wasnt on social assistance/welfare he should be okay...i sponsored my wife with no problems while i was on e.i.

im not an authority though, so maybe call in and double check...

good luck

if your sponsoring parents its different. I dont know much about it but I do know there is a certain amount of income you need to qualify.

EI is an income.He paid into this insurance for the simple reason that he mighht someday be out of work.He can use his EI as income yes.But if the EI runs out before they land he will need to prove income again as EI only last for so long.
So apply put him down as the co sponsor and use his EI as an income,but just remember like i sai they may come and ask for more option C print outs later.So if you are smart he would get a job before his EI runs out and send in a new letter of employment for him as you need to inform them of changes.
