Out-of-Status? Sponsor Unemployed?
You’re in Canada but your partner is unemployed due to COVID-19 and you think Immigration will refuse your spousal sponsorship application when you submit because your sponsor has no proof of employment. You worry about your sponsor not being able to submit a letter of employment which is listed on the required document list. Your partner has received the CERB for three months and is no converting to (EI) Employment Insurance. You’re working for cash and helping to support your partner but am scared to admit that you’re working without authourization.
Why do you think you’re the only person in Canada with this delimma? How could you be the only out-of-status person who is in love while residing in Canada? Can you explain how out-of-status people feed themselves without working?
Ask yourself this question;
Q. If all you have been doing all day long, week after week was lying on the counch drinking beer while watching Judge Judy, Price is Right and Family Feud would your potential sponsor put up with that behaviour?
A. NOT A CHANCE IN HELL!
Why do you believe Immigration Officers are so stupid that they don’t know that people who overstay work without authourization to feed themselves and their dependents? The one thing you should never do is lie on a spousal sponsorship application. Tell the truth admit that you’re working without authourization and get proof to prove that fact.
Income is not an issue when sponsoring a spouse or dependent child but you must overcome section 39 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
A 39 A foreign national is inadmissible for financial reasons if they are or will be unable or unwilling to support themself or any other person who is dependent on them, and have not satisfied an officer that adequate arrangements for care and support, other than those that involve social assistance, have been made.
Even if you are out-of-status but you’re the main “BREAD WINNER” providing care and support for your sponsor and your dependents family you will not be found inadmissible for finacial reasons.
We are experienced Immigration Counsel’s who can explain to you what are the requirements of the Act and Regulations even if your out of status.
