I receive ODSP in Toronto.
I have an online relationship with a Nigeria guy for around one year.
I want to bring him here and marry him.
What should I do?

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some important information regarding sponsorship in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.
You may also want to look into some specific information that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) provides regarding sponsorship when you have met the person online.
In terms of receiving ODSP, you can find some information on the CIC Website in the Guide 3900 - Sponsorship of a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child living outside Canada guide.
It states,
You may NOT sponsor if you…
[...]-receive social assistance for a reason other than disability,
So as you can see it states that you may not sponsor if you receive social assistance for a reason other than disability.
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.
