Spousal Sponsorship

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner if:

they are at least 18 years old and your relationship is genuine (real) and wasn’t entered into just to get permanent resident status in Canada

Sponsor Eligibility

You may be eligible to sponsor a spouse or a common-law or conjugal partner or dependent children living outside of Canada if:

The person you want to sponsor is a member of the family class. If he or she is not, you will not to be able to sponsor them.

You are 18 years of age or older;

You are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;

You reside in Canada.

If you are a Canadian citizen not residing in Canada, you may sponsor your spouse, common-law or conjugal partner and/or dependent children who have no dependent children of their own. You must demonstrate that you will live in Canada once they become a permanent resident.

You will have to sign an undertaking promising to provide for the basic requirements of the person being sponsored and, if applicable, their dependent children.

You and the person being sponsored sign an agreement that confirms that each of you understands your mutual obligations and responsibilities.

Who is a Common-Law and Conjugal Partner?

You can sponsor a person as your common-law partner if:

That person is of the opposite or same sex  and

You and your partner have lived together in a conjugal relationship for a period of at least one year.

Once you have graduated from an eligible program at a Canadian post-secondary institution, you may qualify to apply for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program. This program offers graduates up to a three-year open work permit which will allow you to earn valuable work experience. You do not need to have a job offer to get an open work permit.

Additionally, Canada allows foreign students who have completed their studies in Canada and have gained a certain amount of work experience within Canada to apply for immigration to Canada under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

You may be eligible to sponsor a spouse or common-law partner or accompanying dependent child from inside Canada if:

You are 18 years of age or older;

You are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;

The person you want to sponsor qualifies as a spouse or common-law partner or accompanying dependent child, in-Canada class;

You live in Canada and continue to live in Canada after the sponsored person gets permanent resident status;

You and your spouse or common-law partner both sign an agreement confirming that each of you understands your obligations and responsibilities;

You sign an undertaking promising to provide for the basic needs of your spouse, common-law partner or accompanying dependent child;

 

For sponsorship purposes, both spouses and common-law partners or accompanying dependent child must:

Live with you in Canada;

Have a valid passport or travel document;

Be 18 years old or older; and

Be your spouse or common-law partner for genuine reasons and not primarily for the purpose of getting permanent residence in Canada.
