there is no income requirement for spousal sponsorship. the sponsor will need to submit a form from the CRA that will show whether they have filed for bankruptcy or received canadian welfare in the past 12 months. generally, these are the only financial reasons a sponsor would be rejected. there are many many many sponsors who do not have an income and are successful being approved.

then why immigration officer refuse application because of financial support??
that question can't be answered without knowing more information. was the sponsor rejected for financial support reasons or was the Principal applicant's application refused? What specifically was stated in the refusal letter? more than likely there is more to it than just "financial support". CIC would have provided information about what the issue actually is.

it is rare that "financial support" is the ONLY reason an application is refused. An application can be refused if the officer feels the sponsor/applicant would most likely apply for welfare upon approval. It is the responsibility of the sponsor/applicant to show how they would support themselves in canada without needing to use the welfare system.

one suggestion would be to order the sponsor/applicant's GCMS notes to see details about the officer's concerns.

Did the sponsor receive Canadian welfare in the past 12 months?
Did the sponsor file for bankruptcy?
Did the sponsor or the principal applicant explain in the application how they plan to financially support themselves in canada without the need for welfare?

again, no one is going to be able to provide much more information that is already provided on here. it is very unlikely the sponsor was rejected only because they did not have a job or income. there are many sponsors who are unemployed and have no income who successfully are approved. again, it is NOT a requirement for the sponsor to have a job or income.

if you want help, then more information is needed than just "the sponsor has no job and was rejected". what SPECIFICALLY was stated in the sponsor rejection letter? What did the GCMS notes suggest was the issue? until you find this information out and share it, it is unlikely you will get the help you want.

also, looking back at your posts, it seems there is definitely more to your case then just the sponsor being rejected for financial reasons:

this makes no sense.

are you a PR or canadian citizen?

were you sponsored by a spouse to come to canada? if so when? are you still in a relationship with that sponsor or is the sponsor now deceased?

are you now attempting to sponsor a new spouse to come to canada?

we seem to be going around in circles here. the bottom line is, if you want actual help, you need to help us by providing more specific information or the other person you are asking the question for needs to ask questions themselves.

do you even know this person or are you just taking information you found on this forum or somewhere else on the internet and assuming that is the only reason for rejection? either way, i'd question whether you actually know the whole story, and it's probably best for them to ask about their own application themselves. whether or not someone else was rejected for whatever reason has nothing to do with the outcome of your own application.

The sponsor does not need a job or an income to sponsor his or her spouse or common-law or conjugal partner. However, in this case, they should submit a plan with the application explaining how they will support themselves once the applicant becomes a PR.

It is very rare to be rejected because the visa officer does not believe the couple can support themselves without going on welfare, but it has happened. In one case I saw, the sponsor was a recent immigrant who had a job that paid less than minimum wage. His wife could not speak English or French, and was a teacher back in China. The visa officer did not believe that the husband could support both of them in Canada, and did not believe that the wife would be able to find a job, so the application was rejected for financial reasons.

Keep in mind that this is very rare. Usually a letter explaining how you will support yourselves, with proof, will be enough.
