Hi,
I just wanted to share what we did with our application, actually we're going to submit our application this week.
I being the sponsor of my husband, I am currently on maternity leave right now and I was not eligible for EI benefits as my total number of hrs did not meet the EI requirements. Also I am living with my sister here in Canada. To make it short I am not financially stable as of now.
What I did is I made an explanation letter stating our Financial or Settlement plan once my husband is approved. I itemize it by the following info:
1. Lodging and Accomodation - i explained that we will live in my sister's house until we found an apartment to live in. Then I also provide a letter from my sisters and her husband - signed by them.
2. Financial circumstances- i explained everything.. i'm still employed but on maternity leave, since I completed a 10month course here for Logistics and Supply Chain Management.. I included the email of my school employment specialist that she will help me on my job searching after my mat leave. Also, i mentioned that since PR application processing will take several months, my husbands severance pay for 25yrs of work service amounting to xxxxxxx will use as our starting for 3-4 months expenses once my husband is here.
3. Plans in finding work in Winnipeg for my husband.- I detailed all our plans in finding work for my husband...
Also, we provided an essay to prove that our relationship is genuine and on going.. about 4 pages..
I hope that I will approve as a sponsor even if I am not financially stable as of now and pregnant with twins.. i just came back here in Canada for a vacation from our home country.. We will just try our luck...
