If you've left a loved one behind, for whatever reason, to immigrate to Canada, you probably have a goal of bringing that person into the country to live with you. That is certainly possible, as long as you and your spouse, conjugal, or common law partner qualify. In 2016, the country simplified the spousal sponsorship Brampton paperwork and turn around times to make the process easier.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
The overseas and inland applications have been combined. Inland means the partners or spouses are both living in Canada and the partner to be sponsored has legal status by way of a visa or permit. Overseas simply means that the individual to be sponsored is currently living in another country. Since there is now one application for both statuses, the processing time is the same for both.
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.
