Hello everyone,
I had a post here last year but things are quite different for me now but in a good way! I am getting married in 7 days from now to my gorgeous British fiancee!
I am fairly sure that being on ODSP I am able to sponsor her after we are married but I want to just double check here.
Regards,
Curtis

Hello Curtis,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
You can find some information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) 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.
It may be helpful if you contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre directly to see if they can provide any additional information specific to your situation.
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.
