Canadian Spousal Sponsorship

According to Canadian spousal sponsorship, a Canadian permanent resident or citizen can sponsor their spouse to come and live in Canada permanently. Here’s everything you need to know about sponsoring your spouse for a Canadian visa.

Terms of Sponsoring Your Spouse

However, not everyone living in Canada can sponsor their spouse for a Canadian visa. You are only eligible to sponsor your partner if you’re a permanent Canadian resident or have citizenship. You must also meet the following criteria.

 

● You should be at least 18 or older.

● You must have plans to stay in Canada once your spouse becomes a permanent Canadian resident. Moreover, if you’re staying in another country, you must return to Canada after your spouse becomes a permanent Canadian resident.

● You should be financially stable to provide for your spouse's basic needs for at least 3 years.

How Much Time Does it Take to Sponsor Your Spouse for a Canadian Visa?

Most Canadian organizations process spousal sponsorships in 12 months or more. From applying for a visa to getting a visa, the whole process completes in a year or so. You can’t get a spousal sponsorship within a year, but it can take longer, depending on your situation.

Types of Canadian Spousal Sponsorship

You might be surprised to read this, but Canadian spousal sponsorship has many types, based on your marital situation and relationship. Scroll down to read and decide which sponsorship caters to you and your spouse’s relationship.

Common-Law Sponsorship

In simple words, a common-law sponsorship is meant for conventional marriages. To be eligible for common-law sponsorship, you must prove that you lived together for at least a year as a married couple.

Conjugal Sponsorship

If you haven’t been able to get married or live together for a year, that’s fine; you’re still eligible for conjugal sponsorship. However, you need to prove that you were in a relationship for more than a year and couldn’t get married due to unavoidable circumstances.
