Spousal Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents who live in Canada can sponsor their loved ones and help them get a Permanent Residence for Canada through the Family Class Program.

Who can be sponsored for a Canadian Spouse Sponsorship?

As a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, you may sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner and his/her dependent children. Your partner (husband or wife) can be either of the opposite or same-sex.

Spouse

You are a spouse if you’re married to your sponsor and your marriage is legally valid.

Common-law Partners

You are a common-law partner (either of the opposite sex or same-sex) if you have been living together in a conjugal relationship for at least one year.

Conjugal Partners

You are a conjugal partner if you and your partner have not been able to marry or live in a common-law relation due to circumstances beyond your control (either political, religious, social, or cultural impediments from the country of residence).

Subjectivity plays an important part in Canadian spousal sponsorships. Errors or omissions could delay your application or even lead to refusals. As Canadian Immigration Consultants, we can assess you to improve your chances of approval.
