Unless there is adultery or abuse involved, you must be legally separated for a year to divorce.
If you are legally separated or divorced, you can claim welfare for yourself and your children and you will not be required to pay it back. However, if your husband claims any welfare before Dec 22, 2018, you will be required to pay that back.
I am talking about the sponsorship agreement contract.if you go on walfare before 3 years of agreement I have to pay the money back that walfare is giving me.. Do I have to pay back the money from welfare even I am on this siyuation and divorced too that I don't have any place.
Not quite. If your husband goes on welfare before the 3 year anniversary, you have to pay that back (regardless of your situation). You can go on welfare, you don't have to pay that back.
You can't "brake" the sponsorship. The undertaking will remain valid until 3 years after your husband became a PR.
You need to contact the provincial welfare authority. They will require proof that you and your husband have separated. Otherwise, they will assess you as a family; this means that a portion of the welfare received would be for your husband and you would be required to pay that back.
Has the marriage actually broken down? Or are you trying to figure out a way to claim welfare while still being a couple?
no we didn't breakup yet, im just trying to find a way for me and my children.. and u said we have to let the walfare that we are broke up before divorcing.

I don't usually comment on stuff like this but I agree with your comment . This just seems like some way of claiming welfare and not really marital issues , because the bigger concern here is how to collect the money . Appalling to say the least.
You cannot break the sponsorship; it was a legal commitment when you sponsored him.
It does seem from your recent posts that your relationship is ongoing, and you only want to separate 'on paper' so you can claim welfare to supplement his job? If that's money that you're not entitled to as a couple then you should be ashamed of yourself, and your caseworkers will almost certainly see through it.

my sister has friends who are caseworker's they know whose legit and who is not and if they find out you lie to them on welfare they can garish her husband wages she can qualify for universal child care benefits
Don't judge people from keyboard. We really have problems and want to find a way for me and my children. I don't have anyone here to help me so I need to make a way before go out of that house.
Legally divorcing your partner in order to fraudulently claim welfare while continuing the relationship is going to give you many, many more problems, entirely of your own making.

Find a way that doesn't include welfare fraud. What you are proposing is illegal and could see you face a heavy fine or imprisonment. What do you think will happen to your children then?
If you are short of money then get a job. Welfare is for those who are truly in need, not just because your husband doesn't make much or you're not willing to work.
And yes, I will judge from behind a keyboard. I have always worked - even when my children were small - to pay my own way. The taxpayers of Canada should not have to fund your choice to be dishonest.
