Spousal Sponsorship

This program allows a Canadian Citizen or resident to sponsor their respective spouses, conjugal/common in law partners to Canada permanently.

Who is eligible to sponsor:

  • must be at least 18 years old
  • must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent residence or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.
  • If you are a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you are still eligible to be a sponsor, but you must show that you plan to live in Canada when the person you are sponsoring becomes a permanent resident.
  • must prove that you are financially sound and you are not receiving any social assistance for any reason other than disability.
  • you can provide for the basic needs of the person you are sponsoring.

Who isn’t eligible to sponsor:

  • you are a permanent resident living outside of Canada
  • you were sponsored by a spouse or partner and you became a permanent resident less than 5 years ago
  • are still financially responsible for a previous spouse or partner that you sponsored. This means you’re still bound by the 3-year undertaking to take care of this person.
  • you don’t have enough money to support the persons you want to sponsor
  • you declared bankruptcy and are not discharged
  • you don’t have legal status in Canada and have received a removal order
