Hi

I am applying for PR through my Canadian spouse

At the moment I am a student/studying in my home country and will be finished end of this year
I also work, but only one day a week as I am studying the rest of the week.
I also receive a 'student alowance' from the government, is this considered welfare?

Could this be a problem for me applying for PR?
Will they be worried about me having received a 'welfare' type thing?

Please help, thanks!

A student allowance is not welfare (though a training allowance might be). However, in any case it does not matter - the sponsor cannot be on welfare, but it does not matter if the applicant is.
