Mutual Children while Sponsoring Spouse

I have a few questions...
1.How does having a mutual child affect the sponsorship process?
2.Does it make the process faster?
3.Does it affect PR for the sponsored person?
4.What if the sponsored person is not on the birth certificate, because they were in their country during the birth. Does that affect anything?
I will be giving birth to me and my Fiances first child soon... we have not gotten married and have not begun the process or sponsorship as of yet...
we are not rushing to get married, and have a wedding planned in his country of origin for the next year. I visit him when I can in his country.
He is currently residing in his country of origin (Dominican republic)... As am I (Canada). The baby will be born here.
5. We are going to apply for a tourist visa very soon, for him to come to bear witness the birth of our first child. With your knowledge, is that reason acceptable for a tourist visa? (or is the reason for travel less important than financial stability/ solid proof that he will return to his country.. he works for the military, and will definitely definitely not be able to stay in canada for any extended period of time, he must return to his work) Basically in this situation will this visa application likely be approved? Or is that reason unacceptable.
6. (somewhat different subject) Is he allowed to work in canada while being sponsored? Or only once he has received his PR. How long will he have to wait to receive PR?
7. Can I receive child and family benefits before/during/after the sponsorship process? Or will that make me ineligible to be his sponsor.
Specifically these Canadian benefit programs:
Canada child tax benefit (CCTB)
Universal child care benefit (UCCB)
Goods and services tax/Harmonized sales tax credit (GST/HST)
Working income tax benefit (WITB)
Ontario Trillium
Ontario Child Benefit
Thank you so so so so sooooooo much for all your help and information. This website has already answered so many questions just by searching through this forum.. After researching, calling help lines... These questions still remain, and I am looking forward to the response.. I really appreciate it!
By the way, please feel free to ask for any clarification or information from me that might make giving me the proper answer to my questions. I am a Canadian born citizen. |

thank you Anna!
I do have a few other questions.
1. when sponsoring a family member.. it is not allowed to be receiving social assistance (not including child/ family benefits I listed above which are alright).. such assistance as ontario works, that is unacceptable, this I understand.
the question is. if I did receive ontario works at some point before applying to sponsor a family member, would that affect ability to sponsor?
for example, if I were receiving ontario works in the year before my application, but not receiving during the application. does this disqualify me from sponsorship eligibility?
or is it only when applying to sponsor, if i were to be receiving ontario works at that time, that would disqualify me.
2. is income geared housing considered social assistance? in ontario? if you do not have this information specifically as it differs by region or province.. do you know who I can contact for this in GTA/ Peel areas in ontario?
3. once a sponsorship application is completed and approved, and the family member has come to canada and is in the process of getting their PR , I understand that they are not supposed to apply/receive social assistance for 3 years ( or the sponsor would be responsible to repay that assistance)
the question here is, can the sponsor them selves receive social assistance? in that time after the sponsorship process is completed, and the family member is living and working in canada? or are both sponsor and sponsee not allowed to take social assistance for the 3 year period (without having to repay it)
thank you again so much for all the information. |
