Ramz,
What i quoted
"39. Financial Reasons — A foreign national is inadmissible for financial reasons if they are or will be unable or unwilling to support themself or any other person who is dependent on them, and have not satisfied an officer that adequate arrangements for care and support, other than those that involve social assistance, have been made."
is a case that was presented in court with lawyers and judges
"Wu v. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2011 CanLII 56507 (IRB) — 2011-01-07
Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada — Canada (Federal)"
"http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/irb/index.html" search financial eligibility.

You are right it says other than social assistance.
If any one is interested they can read cases in details.
I myself would rather overthink and analyse and understand details rather than ignoring demands from a visa officer.

Hi Erina,
You might want to call CIC and ask them. As you know, your application is going to be intially evaluated in Canada and if the notice of assessment is a must at that point they will return your application to you.
Since the time to send and recieve the initial assesment fromn CIC mississauga is less than 3 months, I would send it. in my opinion you'll not loose anything!

dear Erina,no you dont have to wait for that as somewhere in the guide it is written if you dont have it explain the reason.I did the same thing.But then you may apply for it just in case they ask for it.Hope it helps.

Hi Athab,

I guess you have been refused in first stage (Mississauga) . They send PR application to VO anyway. SPONSERING SPOUSE does not require financial proof . Unless you are being supported by Government.

Dear Alchemist2929,

Are you sure this is Spousal Sponsorship Case ? As I know There is financial requirement for other sponsorship application (Parents, Grand parents, Dependent Childern).

Yes it's you can check yourself. I did not read in detail though.. And there is other cases just search financial+eligibility and check if it's a spousal sponsorship case.
But I agree with Ramz if you are not on social insurance and have enough income(bank account, etc..) to live off ,that would be enough. I myself was never on social assistance but they asked for the documents a posted in one of the previous posts!
Why this particular case was refused I did not read the details but it's a spousal sponsorship case
