Decline sponsorship for a immigrant

[chowchow]

Hi

a quick for my friend. He just divorced. He wants to decline his sponsorship for his mother-in-law's immigrant status. His mother-in-law has already had permanent resident visa. In this case, if he is going to decline the sponsorship for his mother-in-law. What kind implications will be to his mother-in-law's immigrant status?

I assume his mother in law hasn't landed yet and become a PR - however she has her approved PR visa.

If he withdraws sponsorship and his spouse's income alone isn't enough to meet the low income cut off, his mother-in-law's PR visa will be canceled and she won't be able to land and become a PR.

If for some reason he doesn't withdraw his status quickly enough and she is able to land and become a PR, then it will be too late to withdraw his sponsorship. He can only withdraw his sponsorship before she lands and becomes a PR.

I believe you would get more information posting this question in the Family Sponsorship Section (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/). That being said, your friend can withdraw the sponsorship application at any time before his mother-in-law lands in Canada. He cannot get a refund of his processing fees back. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse-apply-after.asp There is a form he can use on the page to withdraw the application.

Your friend should have withdrawn sponsorship for is mother-in-law during the divorce proceedings, and had not waited for a final divorce. He still can and should withdraw sponsorship before the the person lands. If your friend does not withdraw sponsorship, he is still responsible for 10 years for financial support and pay back to government if his former mother-in-law goes on social support.

It is most likely the mother-in-law's visa will be revoked, if your friends ex-wife does not meet income requirement by herself.
