SPOUSAL APPLICATION

Canadian permanent residents and citizens can sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residency to Canada. If successful, the sponsored person gets resident status, enabling the couple to establish their lives in Canada.

The common-law / spousal sponsorship Canada entrance program is a part of the Family Class category, through which Canada greets a significant number of new permanent residents yearly.

Both the sponsor and sponsored person must satisfy all the criteria for a successful spousal application.
