What I am saying is that, for example:
1. a man(sponsor) has children from a previous relationship or an ex-wife and pays child support or spousal support to them
2. he meets a new woman abroad and marries her
3. to be approved to sponsor his new wife, he has to meet all the eligibility requirements first. That means, he must not be owing child support or spousal support to his children or ex-wife.
4. he is then approved to sponsor new wife and her application is sent abroad.
5. eventhough he has been approved already, he must continue pay the child/spousal support on time until they issue his wife PR visa.
6. if at any point, he stops making these support payments, he is in breach of sponsor eligibility requirements and CIC would have a problem with that.
7. if the husband falls behind on these payments, CIC can do two things:
a) refuse the wife's PR application or
b) give the wife(who is being sponsored) and opportunity to demonstrate that she can support her family. Her family in this case means, the sponsor(husband), their children, etc and that they won't go on social welfare. Read the sponsorship agreement again - the person being sponsored also signs the form and by doing so they agree to also do everything to support themselves.
This is what CIC asked 'gango girl' to do since her husband fell behind on child support payments for his children from another relationship. Because she was not able to demonstrate this to CIC's satisfaction, her PR application was rejected. This is what is called rejection on the basis of "financial inadmissibility". Hope this clarifies it.

So are you saying SenoritaBella that if a sponsor loses her job or fails to pay child support and has dependent children she could fail to lose the sponsorship that she was already approved on at the start of the application.Surely if her children has children she wouldn't be paying child support at that age .Forgive me for being naive, i am just trying to learn so i would be able to give back to the forum when i am more knowledgeable.
