4 Most Common In-Land Spousal Sponsorship Mistakes

When it comes to spousal sponsorship, there are two types, i.e., outland and inland spousal sponsorship. Outland sponsorship applies if your spouse lives outside Canada or currently lives in Canada but doesn't intend to stay in the country for the application period. In-Land sponsorship applies when you both live in Canada and your spouse may or may not have valid immigration status. If you're applying for the latter, here are some common sponsorship mistakes to avoid.

1. Not Including Canadian Entry Stamp

When submitting an in-land sponsorship application, the principal applicant has the chance of getting a two-year work permit. However, you need to show that the applicant has valid temporary status in Canada when applying to be eligible for this. If you don't show a valid status in the country, the applicant can be refused. Make sure to add the Canadian entry stamp and even a copy of the flight itinerary to show the applicant's current status in the country. If the applicant doesn't have an entry stamp, it's essential to include a letter explaining why it’s missing.

2. Not Declaring All Family Members

When applying for permanent residence, the applicant is required to declare all family members in the application. This even includes those members that you don't intend to sponsor. If you fail to declare a family member, they will be ineligible for permanent residence in the future. Along with denying your sponsorship application, this can affect your status as a permanent resident in the country as well. 

3. Submitting A Weak Sponsorship Letter

Along with other application documents, the sponsorship letter is also of great importance. It's vital that you write this carefully and in an organized manner. Your tone should be formal, informative, and convincing. The primary purpose of this letter is to prove that the relationship you share with the applicant is genuine. Focus on the when, where, and how of your relationship and including dates will be a bonus. 

 

4. Not Getting Professional Help

Sponsorship applications can get tedious and tricky; this is why it’s important to hire legal help to guide you through the process.
