Family Sponsorship - Spouse/Common-law
Family Sponsorship in Canada allows eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residence.
At KGH Immigration Ltd., we provide expert, affordable assistance with Spousal Sponsorship Canada applications, including inland and overseas sponsorship. Our licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) offers personalized guidance throughout the application process, helping couples navigate the requirements and prepare a complete, well-organized application.
How This Process Works
There are two main application classes for Spousal and Common-Law Sponsorship in Canada:
Inland Sponsorship (Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class): Generally intended for eligible spouses or common-law partners living together in Canada. Eligible applicants may also qualify for an open work permit while their permanent residence application is being processed.
Family Class Sponsorship (often called Outland Sponsorship): Commonly used when the sponsored spouse or common-law partner lives outside Canada. In some circumstances, applicants living in Canada may also apply through this class.
Both pathways allow eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residence.
Processing times for spousal and common-law sponsorship applications vary depending on the application type and individual circumstances. KGH Immigration provides personalized guidance to help clients understand the requirements, prepare supporting documents, and navigate the sponsorship process with confidence.
