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 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 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.
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 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.
