spousal sponsorship application.

[abdel81]

Hello Everyone!
I have PR status, I live in Calgary AB, I do not have a full time job at this time. I work only the average of 18 to 24 hours a week. My question is , what are the chances for my application to be approved if i want to sponsor my wife to come and live with me in Canada. We do not have any dependent children.

There is no minimal income requirement to sponsor your wife, so that should not be a problem. You are to show that you are not on welfare or in default of any kind though.

There's no minimum income requirement to sponsor spouse.

This minimum income requirement chart is for for other family members, like parents etc.

There is no minimum requirement for sponsorship of a spouse, unless there are kids involved. However, it is always a good idea to show in some way that you're willing and able to support your spouse once they do come to Canada.

I also highly recommend you read the following 2 documents (you'll have to google them, they're both PDF's)
Google: cic OP08
Google: cic IP02
-- they should be the top search result.

These tell you everything that goes on behind the closed doors of the CIC

This table does not apply to spousal and dependent children sponsorship. There are no minimum income requirements.
