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 start filling out the paperwork, you should be certain that you and your loved one qualify for the program. You must both be at least eighteen years of age. You have to be either a citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. You will be required to sign an agreement that states you will be financially responsible for the other individual for a period of three years after that person has become a permanent resident of the country.
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.
If you want to sponsor a common law partner, you must prove that the two of you lived together continuously for at least a year. The government will accept short periods of separation if they were caused by extenuating circumstances such as family emergencies or business obligations. You also have to show that you were sharing expenses like utilities and lease payments. Same sex and opposite sex partners are both recognized by Canada.
Conjugal partners are two individuals who are unable to live together through no fault of their own. There are a number of possible circumstances that qualify for this status. Sexual orientation is one.
Another example of a qualifying circumstance might be when partners are married to other people and are not allowed to divorce because it is against the laws of the country where they live. The Philippines is an example of one of those countries. Sponsors have to prove they have made every possible effort to overcome the circumstances before an application 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 to provide for the sponsored individual and any dependent children is meant to ensure that Canada is not going to support them financially. The sponsor will be responsible for shelter, food, clothing, utilities, and any personal requirements. There is no specific financial threshold required of the sponsor, but documentation showing income and tax returns will be required.
