Canadian spousal sponsorship is how a Canadian citizen or permanent resident can sponsor their partner to come to Canada and live permanently. In Canada, we know how important it is for families to be together. For this reason, applications for spousal sponsorship are considered a top priority.
Here is everything you need to know about sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner to Canada.
The spousal sponsorship program falls under Family Class immigration, enabling Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a spouse or common-law partner for Canadian permanent residency. While the Canadian government permits citizens and permanent residents to sponsor family class members, it mandates that arriving immigrants receive care and support from their sponsors.
To qualify for a visa through this immigration program, both the sponsoring and sponsored parties must substantiate their relationship.
What is the duration for sponsoring your spouse or partner to Canada? The processing of sponsorship applications generally takes about 12 months from initiation to completion. While it's uncommon for them to be processed significantly faster than this timeframe, the process may extend beyond 12 months based on the specifics of your case.
In most cases, there isn't an income requirement to sponsor your spouse or partner or dependent child. You only need to show that you have enough money to meet the income requirements if: you're sponsoring a dependent child that has 1 or more dependent children of their own.
The IRCC carefully assesses the authenticity of each relationship to prevent marriage fraud for immigration purposes. If the officer is unconvinced about the genuineness of the marriage, they may reject the application and impose a 5-year ban on the sponsored spouse for misrepresentation, preventing entry into Canada.
