The Spousal Sponsorship Program is a key part of Canada’s Family Class Immigration, enabling Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner for Permanent Residency (PR). This program prioritizes family reunification, requiring sponsors to provide care and support for their sponsored partner during the settlement process.

Who Can Be Sponsored?

Spouse : Legally Married to the sponsor. Must provide valid marriage documentation.

Common-Law Partner: Lived together in a committed relationship for at least 1 year (excluding brief absences for family or business reasons).

Conjugal Partner: A foreign national in a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least 1 year but unable to cohabit due to circumstances such as immigration barriers or legal restrictions.

Note: Canada recognizes same-sex marriages, and same-sex partners are eligible to apply under any of these categories if they meet the requirements.
