social assistance...

There is no minimum amount of time. In order to sponsor, you must show CIC that you can support yourselves without welfare.
Right there is no minimum time, technically you could get off social assistance and sponsor your spouse the next day.
However any recent receipt of social assistance will trigger an investigation during the sponsor review, so you can expect longer than usual processing. Also we have seen several cases where even though someone stopped receiving payments, they were accidentally left on the list of active recipients so their sponsorship was rejected. So before attempting to sponsor make sure you get written proof from the necessary government area that you are officially and completely removed from all social assistance lists.

Yes contact the office you were dealing with, explain to them that you need written proof that you're no longer on welfare, it will basically outline that your currently not on it and the last month you got a payment, if you were on it in different cites contact them all to request the same letter.
Hello hope u will be able to give me an idea,am sponsoring my wife but am not of welfare and i never sponsored anyone before but a have a debt with welfare which is not related to previous undertaking.I moved to Edmonton and Ontario works said i was supposed to inform them so they told me to pay the money I received.I received AOR in December 2020 but when you talked of delay i related to my case
It doesn't matter how many posts you made. You should pay off ALL the money that's owe. If you have unpaid debt from social assistance/welfare, your application will not be approved. So did you pay the money you received?
What about reduced dental service for low-income families? Basically, if you show your tax assessment, if your income falls under a certain level, you could use their services. I have already used the service, and I am planning to sponsor my kid, I have contacted the organization, and they have no system to repay or withdraw from the service, you just don't use the service by yourself.
Will this impact my sponsorship if our names are still in their system?
