^Yep. When I was sponsored, the US government basically told us that if we try and claim any public benefits for the next 5 years, they'd come after my sponsor for reimbursement. Sponsor had to show adequate financial resources to sponsor our family.
This probably does not apply for refugees, but definitely does for family-based sponsorships.
- verelo 10y agoCanada does the same thing. I'm a spousal sponsored immigrant and if I were to claim anything as such my partner is actually the one the govnernemnt holds responsible for funding it [from australia, so hardly the same category as a refugee]
