Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
In cases for sponsored spouses, you can find detailed information on the policies and procedures regarding social assistance for sponsored people in the Ontario Works directive 3.11 for Sponsored Immigrants. It is still best that you consult a community legal clinic or a lawyer for advice about your particular situation.
If you contact 211 and speak to a Community Resource Navigator, they may be able to refer you to community legal services in your area. 211 Ontario is a free, confidential service. Their phone service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Here is a link to their live chat if you prefer to communicate online. Their live chat service is available Monday to Friday from 7am-9pm ET.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to follow up with us.
Sincerely,
Your Settlement.Org team
