Let’s get started!

SPOUSAL
SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

The Spousal Sponsorship Program is a popular immigration pathway for Canadians who wish to bring their spouses or common-law partners to live with them in Canada. This program falls under the Family Class Immigration category and is offered in two categories based on the applicant’s location: Inland and Outland Sponsorship.

INLAND SPONSORSHIP

ELIGIBILITY: You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident residing in Canada along with your spouse or common-law partner.

BENEFITS: Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for an open work permit while the sponsorship application is in process.

REFUSAL: In case of a refusal, an Inland application cannot be appealed. It is advisable to reapply with stronger documentation than incur much higher expenses by opting for a judicial review.

OUTLAND SPONSORSHIP

ELIGIBILITY: You can be a Canadian citizen residing in or out of Canada along with the sponsored spouse, or a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada while your spouse or common-law partner is outside Canada.

BENEFITS: Your spouse may apply for a visitor visa while your sponsorship is in process.

REFUSAL: In case of a refusal in an outland sponsorship application, the same can be appealed at the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

Overall, the Spousal Sponsorship Program is a great way to reunite with your loved one in Canada. Whether you’re eligible for Inland or Outland Sponsorship, it’s important to prepare a strong application with all the necessary documentation to avoid delays and refusals.

dependant
child

If you’re a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and have a child under the age of 22 who is unmarried and not in a common-law partnership, you may be eligible to sponsor them for Canadian immigration. Additionally, you may also be able to sponsor an adopted child, an orphaned family member, or your spouse or common-law partner’s child.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for dependent child sponsorship, the child must be under the age of 22 and not have a spouse or common-law partner.

You may sponsor your own child if they are not already a Canadian citizen, an adopted child, an orphaned family member, or your spouse or common-law partner’s child.

As a sponsor, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.

FINANCIAL STATUS REQUIREMENT

In most cases, you do not need to demonstrate your financial status for child sponsorship.

However, there may be specific cases where financial status is required.

Dependent child sponsorship is a way for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their children or other family members to Canada for immigration. As long as the child is under the age of 22 and meets the eligibility requirements, you may be able to sponsor them without having to demonstrate your financial status in most cases. With the right guidance and assistance, the process can be made easier and less stressful for both you and your family member.
