So, when you are sponsoring your spouse for permanent residence of Canada, a very common question people have is, does the sponsor need to be employed in order to sponsor their spouse? if they are, how much income do they need to show and if the sponsor is unemployed, how much funds does the sponsor need to show in their bank account?
So, in this video, as always, I'll show you what i did to meet the sponsor requirements when I sponsored my wife for Canada PR under family class in 2021. And then we will look at some scenarios and possible solutions.

Thank you so much for what you do. I've been watching your videos. I'm about to sponsor my spouse and we have two children. So we are family of four. I have a fulltime minimum wage job. Do I have to still show POF for family of four using the express entry POF table? Or will paystub and reference from my employer be enough?

You can show whatever you have. You don’t have to stick with the table, like I explain in the video

Hello, I am the applicant together with my dependant, we already received the AOR and have access to gckey and UCI tracker. My husband paid the amount of the application last April and sent another last month for Incase. Yesterday we received a refund from our case processing agent and it's not the full amount it's only $120 with no explanation just a refund only. We're just wondering if that was overpayment like we pay too much or what? Anyone can give the idea please. Thank you

In that section you told to use marriage certificate. But I have already used marriage certificate in a previous section. So, can I upload the marriage certificate again for this section? Can you recommend any other documents for this section? I don't have insurance or employement benefits. Please let me know. Thank you.

backlogs impact every step of the application and timelines vary by application and processing centres. you can try calling them to see if the application got stuck in limbo for some reason. you can also raise a webform in the interim
