A marriage is meant to be a happy occasion. Full of joy, laughter and the start of a new life. However, for those who are sponsoring a foreign national spouse, it can be a long, and difficult process.
Whether your spouse is in Canada or abroad, great care must be taken to ensure that your application is approved.
In addition to all the legal requirements for sponsoring a spouse, immigration officials look for the following:
If you are living in a common law relationship and one year has passed, you may sponsor your partner for Permanent Residency.
Under Canada’s immigration laws, same-sex couples, whether married or unmarried, have the same rights as opposite sex couples. If you are looking to sponsor your same-sex partner, contact us to discuss your options.
If you have received a letter stating that your marriage is not “genuine,” you still have hope. You may be able to appeal this decision.
Sponsoring a foreign national spouse is a complicated legal process. In addition to meeting all the legal requirements, immigration officials must be convinced that your marriage is genuine. Having experienced legal representation can often make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful sponsorship.
