Hi

1. It would be much better for the OP to read the operations bulletin about adding a co-signer. Which outlines the circumstances where a co-signer can be added.

Thanks PMM,

This is a really helpful link. Thank you for sharing it.

Jignesh, here is an excerpt:

Summary of when a co-signer can be added to an existing sponsorship application:

In all cases, the sponsor must have met all sponsorship eligibility requirements at the initial sponsorship assessment.

In all cases, a co-signer may not be added after a negative (Not Met) recommendation has been rendered on the initial assessment.

In all cases, a co-signer may not be added after a negative (Not Met) recommendation has been rendered on a reassessment.

CPC-M will add a co-signer after the initial assessment, even if the sponsor did not choose to include the co-signer at initial filing of the sponsorship application, as long as the sponsor met the original financial assessment and all other eligibility requirements on his own.

If the sponsor is given the opportunity to add a co-signer following a change in circumstances and chooses not to do so and a negative recommendation is rendered, on a reassessment, the sponsor cannot then request to add a co-signer.

Although the facts in the Dokaj case were specific to the sponsorship of parents, the re-interpretation of the regulations, allowing the addition of the co-signer after filing, will apply to all family class categories where the financial test is applicable.

Again, your wife may want to contact the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Call Centre directly for information specific to the application.

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.
