Who Qualifies For A Spousal Sponsorship Brampton Ontario Will Approve

By Barbara Lee


If your family has been separated, or lives in fear of being separated, being together without the threat of deportation is something you all dream about. With the help of the Canadian government that can happen if you and your partner meet the necessary requirements. In 2019, Canada reduced the amount of paperwork needed for the spousal sponsorship Brampton would approve.

Before filling out the applications, you need to be sure you and your significant other meet the requirements. You both have to be eighteen years old or older. You, yourself, must be either a permanent resident or citizen of Canada. You are going to have to sign an undertaking agreement stating you accept financial responsibility for the partner for three years after the individual becomes a permanent resident of Canada.

Canada recognizes three partnership statuses, spouse, conjugal partner, and common law partner. A valid marriage certificate is necessary in order to sponsor a spouse. The marriage certificate has to be legally accepted by Canada and the country in which you were married, if you got married somewhere other than Canada. Your application will be denied, even though you've got a marriage certificate, if you can't prove your relationship is genuine.

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 those whose were not able to live cohabit legally because of circumstances outside their control. There are several ways partners can met the requirements for this status. Sexual orientation is the one most often cited.

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.

Canada has combined the applications for overseas and inland into one application. Inland means both partners are living together already in Canada, but the individual to be sponsored is there on a legal visa or permit. Overseas refers to a partner who is living in a country other than Canada. The processing time for both circumstances is the same now that the applications have been combined.

The purpose for the undertaking promise, which requires the sponsor to support the partner and any dependent children, ensures that the country does not become responsible for their financial support. Sponsors become responsible for all personal requirements, clothing, utilities, food, and shelter. The sponsor is not required to show a specific financial threshold, but must submit income and tax returns.
