It's no surprise that Canada receives tens of thousands of applications each week from people wishing to move and work in the country. The immigration office receives a large number of petitions for spousal sponsorship in Canada as well. An application for spousal sponsorship in 2022 can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months based on a variety of circumstances. The amount of applications Canada receives and the location where your sponsorship application is being processed are the two most critical factors that influence how long it will take to process your Spouse Visa application.

Canada Spouse Visa

It is possible for citizens and permanent residents of Canada to sponsor the status of permanent residency for their spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner.

The foreign national (the "sponsored person") must both be approved by IRCC before they can be admitted to Canada as permanent residents or citizens. Canada accepts same-sex partnerships, thus sponsors and sponsored individuals must prove to IRCC that their relationship falls into one of the following categories:

· Spouse

· Conjugal partner

· Common-law partner
