Hello,

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,

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.
