Subject: Can a canadian citizen housewife sponsor a spouse
  I´m a canadian citizen married to an australian citizen. We are currently living in the philippines due to my husband´s work. I´m a full time housewife taking care of a 3 year old daughter who is already registered as a canadian citizen. I still have to apply for her canadian passport for her. I tried asking the embassy here in manila but no one seems to be replying to my inquiry. They keep telling me to read the application form which does not mention anything about my inquiry. I read somewhere on the internet that it may be possible to sponsor but when my friend in Canada inquired at CIC, they said I must be fully employed for 12 months. Conflicting information is what I´m getting.

My question is can i still sponsor my husband as a PR even though I´m just a housewife? Is there another way I can sponsor my husband? What are the chances of my application to sponsor?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

There are no income requirements to sponsor a spouse. So yes - you can sponsor your husband. You just can´t be bankrupt or on welfare.

A Canadian Citizen sponsoring a spouse for permanent resident to Canada is exempt from income requirements. You just can´t be on welfare.

I am Aussie/Canadian citizen :)

Thanks for the info. Now I´m wondering why cic actually said I still needed to be employed in order to sponsor. They did however say there was no minimum income required. I´m a bit doubtful as to why cic insisted that I had to be employed.

Does anyone know of a successful sponsorship done by a housewife?
