Who Qualifies For A Spousal Sponsorship Brampton Ontario Will Approve

by Barbara Lee

If your family has been separated, or lives in fear of being separated, being together without the threat of deportation is something you all dream about. With the help of the Canadian government that can happen if you and your partner meet the necessary requirements. In 2019, Canada reduced the amount of paperwork needed for the <a href="https://www.naranglaw.ca/spousal-sponsorships/">spousal sponsorship Brampton</a> would approve.

Before you try to apply to be a sponsor, you need to ascertain whether you and your partner meet the basic requirements. Both of you must be eighteen or older. You must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of the country. You must sign an undertaking promise agreeing to be responsible financially for the sponsored individual for three years after he or she becomes a permanent Canadian resident.

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.

If you want to sponsor a common law partner, you must prove that the two of you lived together continuously for at least a year. The government will accept short periods of separation if they were caused by extenuating circumstances such as family emergencies or business obligations. You also have to show that you were sharing expenses like utilities and lease payments. Same sex and opposite sex partners are both recognized by Canada.

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 is a circumstance in which one or both of the partners are married to others and are not together because a country will not allow them to divorce. The Philippines is an example of this. The sponsor must prove that every effort has been made to overcome the extenuating circumstances.

Canada has combined the applications for overseas and inland into one application. Inland means both partners are living together already in Canada, but the individual to be sponsored is there on a legal visa or permit. Overseas refers to a partner who is living in a country other than Canada. The processing time for both circumstances is the same now that the applications have been combined.

The undertaking promise that the sponsor signs ensures that the sponsor, and not the Canadian government, will support the sponsored partner, and any dependent children. This financial agreement includes food, shelter, utilities, clothing, and all personal requirements. The country does not require a certain financial threshold, but income and tax return documentation must be submitted by the sponsor.
