Family Immigration
Spousal and partner sponsorship support
Spousal applications are decided largely on the strength and consistency of relationship evidence.
Overview
Understanding spousal & partner sponsorship
Applications can be filed from inside or outside Canada, each with practical differences.
We help you assemble relationship evidence that tells a clear and truthful story, and prepare both the sponsorship and permanent residence components.
Immigration programs, requirements, processing procedures and timelines may change. Visitors should verify current requirements through official Government of Canada sources or discuss their individual circumstances with a qualified professional.
