Families want to be together, in security, no matter where they live. If you are living in Canada, and have the desire to establish permanent residence for a loved one, it is certainly possible to do so. There are qualifications that you, your spouse, common law, or conjugal partner must meet however. Two years ago, Canada made the spousal sponsorship Brampton documentation more streamlined and the turn around time faster.
Before you start filling out the paperwork, you should be certain that you and your loved one qualify for the program. You must both be at least eighteen years of age. You have to be either a citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. You will be required to sign an agreement that states you will be financially responsible for the other individual for a period of three years after that person has become a permanent resident of the country.
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.
For the country to recognize a common law partner, you have to prove first that you have lived together continuously for a period of at least one year. That does not include short periods of time when you were apart because of an emergency, business obligations, or some other extenuating circumstance. In addition to living together, you will be required to show that you have shared expenses like utilities and rent payments. Canada recognizes common law partners who are the opposite and the same sex.
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 example is a case in which a partner is married to someone else and is denied a divorce because divorce is illegal in the country in which they reside. The Philippines has such a law. It is up to the sponsor to prove every effort was made to get an exception before the conjugal partner status will be accepted.
Canada has combined the inland and overseas applications. Inland is defined as spouses and partners who are both living in the country, and the partners being sponsored have legal status with visas or permits. Overseas is defined as a sponsored individual currently living in a country other than Canada. There is no difference in the processing time now that there is one application for statuses.
The undertaking promise to provide for the sponsored individual and any dependent children is meant to ensure that Canada is not going to support them financially. The sponsor will be responsible for shelter, food, clothing, utilities, and any personal requirements. There is no specific financial threshold required of the sponsor, but documentation showing income and tax returns will be required.
