yes, for spousal sponsorship the *only* financial concern CIC has is whether the sponsor has used welfare in the previous 12 months, and whether it is likely the applicant will apply for welfare upon approval for pr. they don't care about bankruptcy or debt.

There is no income requirement for spousal sponsorship.

Actually, they DO care about bankruptcy as that will be a valid reason to deny the Sponsor (unless it has been discharged).

Here's one (of many threads) discussing this:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t151037.0.html

It's also in the Sponsor Eligibility information on the CIC website, but it looks like they've changed their website recently and a lot of the old forms/guides are not found, by using the hyperlinks!

Check the application and guide. Bankruptsy (if it's not yet discharged) disqualifies a person from sponsoring.

Having said that, I'm not sure that consumer proposal and bankruptsy are equivalents.

And...the criminality issues are far less stringent if the sponsor is a Canadian citizen, not just a PR. The Canadian citizen could have a DUI and still sponsor their spouse/partner...which seems a bit unfair, but...I digress. ::)

I'm confused guys, I'm talking fr consumer proposal not a bankruptcy. Is it the same?
A consumer approval you can not sponsor on , until it is over with and been discharged. It is very similar to bankruptcy but you do pay a certain amount of money back .CIC counts it as the same.
