Immigration: Ontario Court Of Appeal

Welfare Payments Dept: The high court, in a unanimous 9-0 ruling, overturned an earlier Ontario Court of Appeal ruling in favour of the sponsors, all of whom claimed various hardships, according to Globe And Mail. “The risk of a rogue relative properly lies on the sponsor, not the taxpayer,” Justice Ian Binnie wrote Friday on behalf of the court and under federal immigration law, the sponsors agreed to repay any welfare payments that their new arrivals may have incurred after they got to Canada. The individual cases involved repayments of $10,000 to $94,000 in social assistance to the Ontario government. As reported in the news.
