Understanding The Qualification Process For The Spousal Sponsorship Brampton Residents Request

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.

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 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 is a circumstance in which one or both of the partners are married to others and are not together because a country will not allow them to divorce. The Philippines is an example of this. The sponsor must prove that every effort has been made to overcome the extenuating circumstances.

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.
