Spousal and Common-Law Partner Sponsorship
Spousal and Common-Law Partner Sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their loved ones by sponsoring their spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, dependent children, and even their parents and grandparents. Canada is deeply committed to family unity and ensuring that family members can stay together, which is why the immigration process is designed with family values at heart. At VisaVio, we are dedicated to supporting you every step of the way, offering expert guidance and finding the most effective solutions to help you sponsor your spouse or common-law partner, so that you can start building your life together in Canada.
To become a Spousal and Common-Law Partner Sponsor, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old
- Be a Canadian citizen, taking responsibility for your family member's journey to Canada and helping them settle here.
- If you are not a Canadian citizen, you can still become a sponsor as a permanent resident of Canada.
- If neither of the above applies, you may still be eligible to sponsor if you are registered as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.
- Both you, the sponsor, and the sponsored person must receive approval from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) before the sponsored person can obtain a Canadian visa.
- Prove that your relationship qualifies under one of the following categories: Spouse, Common-law Partner, or Conjugal Partner.
Same-sex partners are fully eligible to apply for the Spousal and Common-Law Partner Sponsorship program as long as all requirements are met. VisaVio ensures that your application is treated with respect, care, and the attention it deserves, to help you build a future in Canada with your loved one.
