Families want to be together, in security, no matter where they live. If you are living in Canada, and have the desire to establish permanent residence for a loved one, it is certainly possible to do so. There are qualifications that you, your spouse, common law, or conjugal partner must meet however. Two years ago, Canada made the spousal sponsorship Brampton documentation more streamlined and the turn around time faster.
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.
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 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 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 inland and overseas applications. Inland is defined as spouses and partners who are both living in the country, and the partners being sponsored have legal status with visas or permits. Overseas is defined as a sponsored individual currently living in a country other than Canada. There is no difference in the processing time now that there is one application for statuses.
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.
