Confused about 3rd party support...

[ccbergeron]

I am a British citizen, I married my Canadian husband in January.

I submitted the settlement visa paperwork at the Toronto Worldbridge office on July 6th.
I did include a letter from my mother saying we could have temp support from her before we found jobs.
We got an email last week saying:

-Evidence of more sufficient funds from you, your wife and your UK sponsor, your mother in law (e.g. recent bank statements).

I'm confused that if 3rd party support is not allowed, why are they asking for her bank statements?

Thanks.
