Spousal Sponsorship
Spousal sponsorship allows a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor their spouse or partner to become a permanent resident of Canada. This program is part of Canada’s Family Class immigration system, which is designed to reunite families.
Financial Support & Genuineness
Through this program, a sponsor agrees to financially support their spouse or partner after they obtain permanent residence. Immigration officers heavily assess whether the relationship is genuine and not entered into primarily for immigration purposes.
Who Can Be Sponsored?
Spouse
A person legally married to the sponsor. The marriage must be legally recognized in the country where it took place and under Canadian law (including same-sex marriages).
Common-Law Partner
Someone who has lived with the sponsor in a marriage-like relationship for at least 12 consecutive months without long periods of separation.
Conjugal Partner
Someone in a genuine relationship with the sponsor for at least one year but cannot live together or marry due to significant barriers (immigration restrictions, legal obstacles).
