Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be interested in this type of information.

In terms of sponsoring a spouse, there is no income requirement at all for spousal sponsorship applications.

The financial requirements for spousal sponsorship include:

  • You must not be receiving social assistance (For reasons other than disability).- You must not have an undischarged bankruptcy.

If a sponsor has no income, they will have to address this in their application, and specifically provide information related to how their spouse, who they intend to sponsor, will be supported.

In this type of situation, you may want to contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Call Centre for some additional information.

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.
