But aren’t I technically paying myself ? If this is the theory? We’re not here to judge others or be petty, it’s either we’re being helpful or rude in the comfort of our own homes - not to others
I agree people shouldn't be rude and should try to answer the questions you have asked.But aren’t I technically paying myself ? If this is the theory? We’re not here to judge others or be petty, it’s either we’re being helpful or rude in the comfort of our own homes - not to others
But to be clear, the funds you are receiving are coming from taxpayer dollars. You may be indirectly funding a very small portion of what you have recieved but most of it is funded by other taxpayers.
Ultimately it sounds like you want to apply inland so you should go ahead and do that. As I mentioned earlier, I would strongly recommend waiting to submit the application until you have been off OW for 3-4 months. You will need to stay off OW while the application is being processed and also make sure you don't take OW for three years after your partner lands and becomes a PR.

So as adviced, get off OW for at least a few months.
Also you cannot claim OW for the 3 years after the PA becomes PR.
Now, this is a tricky situation. If you show your income to IRCC to proof that you can support your partner as a sponsor, then you are showing income that I believe that you didn't report.
But if you don't, IRCC may have doubt on how you can support your family.
It's up to you, I think. good luck.
well, it’s all in my NOA. I file my taxes every year so nothing is hidden. I just work contract jobs.
thank you for the advice regarding that.
on my NOA I’m not even seeing social assistance payment added to my total income (line 150)
Should bank statements be included with my application?
If it's in your NOA, then you can show that to IRCC. Bank statements won't hurt. But I don't think it's required.
It's strange that your social assistance payment is not reported in your tax return.
Anyway, I don't know enough to give more comment.
