SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

Spousal sponsorship in Canada allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for immigration to Canada. This program is designed to help couples reunite in Canada when one partner is already a citizen or permanent resident. The sponsor must meet certain criteria, and there are requirements for the sponsored partner as well. The process involves demonstrating the genuineness of the relationship, financial support, and meeting other immigration requirements. If successful, the sponsored partner receives permanent resident status in Canada.
