Sponsor Your Spouse/Common-Law Partner:

In spousal sponsorship, the emphasis is on the genuineness of the relationship. The onus is on the couple to prove that their relationship is genuine. If a couple has entered into the relationship solely for the purpose of immigration, the application will be refused. A sponsor takes full financial responsibility for a sponsored spouse/common-law partner by signing an undertaking for 3 years. If their sponsored spouse or common-law partner requires social assistance within 3 years after being granted PR status, the sponsor is obligated to repay the sum.

Requirements for sponsor :

• At least 18 years old.
• Canadian Citizen (living in Canada or abroad, with clear intention to relocate to Canada permanently).
• Canadian Permanent Resident (living in Canada).
• Not receiving social assistance, except for disability.
• Have signed a 3-year undertaking for a sponsored partner.
• Sponsored spouse.

Requirements for sponsored spouse :

• Legally married.
• At least 18 years old.
• In a genuine conjugal relationship.
• Canada recognizes same-sex marriage.

• The common-law partner must have resided with the sponsor for at least 1 year.
• The common-law partner must be at least 18 years old.
• Must be in a genuine conjugal relationship.
• Must have signed a common-law agreement.
• Sponsored common-law partner's dependent children can be included in the application.
• If the spouse or common-law partner is in Canada and living at the same address as the sponsor, they can apply for an Open Work Permit if they have valid Temporary Resident Status.
• If the sponsored spouse or common-law partner is out of status, public policy allows them to apply for PR under the Spouse/Common-law Partner in Canada Class.
• Persons who have overstayed a visa, visitor record, work permit, or student permit.
• Persons who have worked or studied without authorization under the Act.
• Persons who entered Canada without the required visa or document required under the regulations.
• Persons who entered Canada without a valid passport or travel document (valid documents must be obtained before CIC grants permanent residence).

Sponsored spouse's dependent children can be included on the application (additional undertakings must be signed, and duration of the undertaking will depend on the age of the children)
