Hi everybody,

I am planning to sponsor my mom. I read this on the office website: ( the underlined part plz)

• You may not be eligible to sponsor your parent or grandparent if you:
  
  • failed to provide the financial support you agreed to when you signed a sponsorship agreement to sponsor another relative in the past
  • defaulted on a court-ordered support order, such as alimony or child support
  • received government financial assistance for reasons other than a disability
  • were convicted of a violent criminal offence, any offence against a relative or any sexual offence—depending on circumstances, such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and whether a record suspension (formerly called “pardons” in Canada), was issued

I used to get EI in 2012. Am I eligable to sponsor my mom in 2017?

Thanks a lot for your help..
