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 statuses of an individual desiring a sponsor are spouse, common law partner, and conjugal partner. To sponsor a spouse you must produce a valid marriage certificate. This certificate must be recognized as legitimate by Canada and the country where you were married, if you were married outside Canada. You can be denied even if you have a marriage certificate, but can't prove the relationship is genuine.
Canada will recognize a common law partner if you can prove that you've lived together for at least twelve months continuously. The country will accept the application even if you experienced short periods of separation for things like business obligations and emergencies. You will have to show that you and your partner shared responsibilities like rent and utilities during this time. Partners of the opposite sex and the same sex are both recognized by the Canadian government.
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 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.
