If you've left a loved one behind, for whatever reason, to immigrate to Canada, you probably have a goal of bringing that person into the country to live with you. That is certainly possible, as long as you and your spouse, conjugal, or common law partner qualify. In 2016, the country simplified the spousal sponsorship Brampton paperwork and turn around times to make the process easier.
Before you try to apply to be a sponsor, you need to ascertain whether you and your partner meet the basic requirements. Both of you must be eighteen or older. You must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of the country. You must sign an undertaking promise agreeing to be responsible financially for the sponsored individual for three years after he or she becomes a permanent Canadian resident.
The individual you are sponsoring must be either a conjugal partner, a common law partner, or a spouse. In order to sponsor a spouse it is necessary to produce a valid marriage certificate. Canada must recognize the union as legal. If you were married somewhere other than Canada, that country must also recognize the marriage as valid. Your sponsor application will be denied even with a valid marriage certificate, if the government is not convinced the relationship is a genuine one.
For the country to recognize a common law partner, you have to prove first that you have lived together continuously for a period of at least one year. That does not include short periods of time when you were apart because of an emergency, business obligations, or some other extenuating circumstance. In addition to living together, you will be required to show that you have shared expenses like utilities and rent payments. Canada recognizes common law partners who are the opposite and the same sex.
Conjugal partners are defined as two people who have been unable to live together because of circumstances beyond their control. A number of different circumstances meet the qualifications for this status. One of them is sexual orientation.
Another example is a case in which a partner is married to someone else and is denied a divorce because divorce is illegal in the country in which they reside. The Philippines has such a law. It is up to the sponsor to prove every effort was made to get an exception before the conjugal partner status will be accepted.
The overseas and inland applications have been combined. Inland means the partners or spouses are both living in Canada and the partner to be sponsored has legal status by way of a visa or permit. Overseas simply means that the individual to be sponsored is currently living in another country. Since there is now one application for both statuses, the processing time is the same for both.
The undertaking promise that the sponsor signs ensures that the sponsor, and not the Canadian government, will support the sponsored partner, and any dependent children. This financial agreement includes food, shelter, utilities, clothing, and all personal requirements. The country does not require a certain financial threshold, but income and tax return documentation must be submitted by the sponsor.
