Hello,


Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this situation.

As you may already know, in terms of a specific income requirement in order to sponsor a spouse to Canada, there is no income requirement at all for spousal sponsorship applications.

However, although there is no income requirement, you must not be receiving social assistance other than for reasons of disability from any province and you must not be in bankruptcy proceedings or an undischarged bankrupt. As you already know, this includes Ontario Works.

That being said, if you are currently not receiving Ontario Works, you can apply to sponsor your child.

You can find some information specific to sponsorship in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
