Sponsoring Members of Family Class One of the main objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 2002, is the reunification of families. If you are a Permanent Resident or a Canadian Citizen and live in Canada, you may sponsor your family to Canada as Permanent Resident. Members of the family class includes your; Spouse; Common -law or conjugal partner; Dependant children Parents; Grandparents; Brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, grandchildren who are under 18 years of age and orphaned, and are not married or in a common-law relationship. Sponsoring your Spouse, Common-law partner or Conjugal partner To sponsor a member of this class you must be a permanent resident and living in Canada or a Canadian Citizen. You are responsible to financially support the person being sponsored when the person arrives in Canada as a permanent resident, and you must ensure that the person does not go on welfare or seek financial assistance from the government. Sponsors must remember that they cannot sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, if they have sponsored someone as a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner , and three years have not passed since that person landed in Canada as a permanent resident. Also, sponsor must ensure that they are eligible as sponsors, before filing a sponsorship application. To be a sponsor in this category, the sponsor must be 18 years of age or older and must undertake to financially support their spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner. Please review the eligibility criteria for sponsorship before proceeding with the sponsorship application. There is a separate sponsorship processes and different forms involved in sponsoring a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, if they are present in Canada from the overseas sponsorship process. You can get more information on the different processes from one of our Guidance Counsellors. Sponsoring your Spouse If you get married in Canada, you must obtain a valid legal documents or a marriage certificate that validates the marriage in the province you get married. For a marriage that takes place outside Canada, it must be in conformity with Canadian laws as well as the laws of the country that the marriage took place at. Sponsoring a Conjugal Partner In this category the relationship between the sponsor and the applicant must be more than physical, and the partners must be able to show that there is some impediment or impediments due to which they cannot be married, to qualify as a spouse or cannot live together to qualify as a common-law partner. If both the parties do not get married or live together by their personal choice and not because the situation does not allow the same, the relationship cannot qualify under the Conjugal partner relationship for sponsorship purposes. Proof of dependence in the relationship and a marriage-like relationship strengthens the sponsorship application.

The parties should be able to provide proof of joint bank accounts, joint mortgage of home, or joint rental lease, same address on correspondence addressed to either party etc. According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, 2002, Regulation 130 (2) states that a Canadian Citizen residing outside of Canada can sponsor a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner who has no dependant children if the sponsor will reside in Canada upon applicant landing in Canada as a permanent resident. The same does not apply for permanent residents.
