Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and questions with us. We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this.
In order to sponsor a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, the sponsor does not have to meet a minimum income requirement.
The sponsor cannot be receiving social assistance or be an undeclared bankrupt.
It does not state that you have to wait a certain amount of time after stopping, instead, you cannot be receiving social assistance at the time of your application or during your sponsorship application process.
You can find information on eligibility and the process in our Settlement.Org How do I sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent child living outside of Canada? article.
We suggest that you may also want to contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for some additional information.
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.
