Hi,

I am a permanent resident in Canada for 4 years this May. I will go back to the Philippines to marry my boyfriend this summer. The following are my questions regarding spousal sponsorship:

I am currently a University student. Is my student loan considered a government financial help?

Also, I am still living with my parents and I am only working part-time. Will it affect my eligibility to sponsor my spouse?

Thank you.

1. No. Student loans are not public assistance.
2. As long as you are not on public assistance, you will be fine.
