How to Sponsor a Spouse to Canada – A Legal Overview
Bringing your spouse to Canada is a life-changing moment—and one that requires careful attention to legal detail. At Birring Law, our skilled immigration lawyers in Toronto assist clients with all aspects of spousal sponsorship.
Eligibility for Sponsorship
To sponsor a spouse or common-law partner to Canada, you must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Be at least 18 years old
- Not be receiving social assistance (except for disability)
- Be able to provide financial support for your spouse for at least 3 years
The Sponsorship Process
There are two main types of sponsorship:
- Inland Sponsorship: If your spouse is already in Canada
- Outland Sponsorship: If your spouse is outside of Canada
Each route has its own forms, timelines, and steps. Our team ensures all documentation is accurate and complete, helping reduce delays or refusals.
