Eligibility Criteria for Family Sponsorship in Canada

Individuals holding Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status have the privilege to sponsor their immediate relatives for permanent residency in Canada. This initiative aligns with the Canadian government’s dedication to family reunification as a cornerstone of its immigration policy.

As part of its goal to sustain family connections, Canada, through initiatives like PL Immigration, targets the admission of roughly 80,000 individuals every year under the family sponsorship category. Additionally, there is a dedicated effort to unite parents and grandparents with their families in Canada, with a target of welcoming approximately 30,000 newcomers annually through the Parents and Grandparents Program.

The avenue of sponsorship most frequently pursued pertains to the reunion of Canadian residents with their spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children. PL Immigration plays a pivotal role in facilitating the smooth transition and integration of these family members into Canadian society. The program underscores the commitment to nurturing family ties by offering eligible sponsors an avenue to bring their loved ones to Canada to build a shared future together.

Eligibility for the Sponsor in Partner Sponsorship Programs

For those seeking to unite with their partner in Canada through the PL Immigration partner sponsorship route, there are key sponsor eligibility prerequisites to meet. The prerequisites for becoming a sponsor include:

The sponsor must be a mature at least 18 years of age;
Residency status is critical, as the sponsor should either be a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident residing within Canada;
Legal hindrances such as incarceration, insolvency, being a subject of a removal order (applicable to permanent residents), or having a serious criminal charge disqualify one from sponsorship;
Those who were previously sponsored to Canada as a spouse are ineligible to sponsor another spouse within a five-year period from their arrival.

Qualifications for the Sponsored Partner:

For the partner anticipating sponsorship:

Establishing the Legitimate Connection:

Spousal Commitment: Legal matrimony signifies that the sponsor and the sponsored individual are lawfully wedded. A Certificate of Marriage from the respective Canadian province or territory is required for verification in cases of marriage in Canada. It’s important to recognize the validity of same-sex marriages for sponsorship purposes. Marriages contracted outside of Canada must comply with the law of the country where it occurred as well as Canadian federal law.

Common-Law Partnership: A common-law setup is acknowledged if the sponsor and the sponsored individual have cohabitated constantly for at least one year, accounting for any minor breaks for work or family obligations.

Conjugal Relationship: For conjugal partners, which encompasses both opposite-sex and same-sex relationships, the following conditions apply:

Pervasive situations beyond the partners’ influence which preclude the establishment of a common-law status or marriage must be provable, like immigration barricades or restrictions on divorce and same-sex unions in their country of origin;
Partners should demonstrate a one-year period of mutual interdependence mirroring the commitments typical of marriage or common-law unions. Documenting this requires showing a blend of emotional connections, intimate involvement, fiscal partnerships such as shared property ownership or financial support, and concerted efforts to maintain contact and achieve reunification.
