Wife sponsorship owing a student loan

[carloskanaima]

Hello,

My wife is a Canadian citizen also our son and we are living at the moment in Colombia.We want to go back to Canada and she owes money to Ontario student service loan and she has not make any arrangement to pay this debt. Would this issue affect the sponsorship application????

It depends. If the loan has been outstanding for a long time and she has to declare bankruptcy when she returns to Canada - then yes, this will impact her sponsorship. Otherwise no. If you plan to make Canada your home, she should make arrangements to start repaying the money she owes.
