Family Sponsorship for Spouse (including any dependent children)

Through this family sponsorship application, Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouse (along with any of their children) to immigrate to Canada.

Are you currently looking to sponsor your spouse, partner or children for Canadian permanent residence?

If you are 18 years or older, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and you are not receiving social assistance other than disability, you may be able to apply. Canadian family sponsorship is one of the programs that brings the most immigrants to Canada each year.

We recommend the sponsors and their family to hire a licensed professional, such as SuperVisas, to handle their family sponsorship cases. You typically only apply for family sponsorship once in your lifetime and it is known for having a very complicated application process. You will want to get it right!

A married partner or spouse is defined as someone of the opposite or same gender that you have a legal marriage with and is at least 16 years old.  

A common-law partner is defined as someone of the opposite or same gender that  is not legally married to you, is at least 16 years old and has been living with you for at least 12 continuous months. Any time that you have spent away from your partner must be short and temporary. 

A conjugal partner is defined as a permanent relationship where two people are not able to get married or live together because of situations outside of their control. Your partner being considered for immigration must provide evidence that:

  • They have had a conjugal relationship with you for at least one year

How It Works

  • 1
    Create An Account

    Create an account and either check your eligibility, or pick an application to start. We start by asking questions specific to the visa to ensure your eligibility. This can be quick and simple, such as for visitor visas, or may require entering multiple questionnaires. If you have any questions, there are no fees to contact our immigration experts by email, WeChat, WhatsApp or by booking a call.

    Confirmation Before Payment

    Our immigration consultants will check your answers and double-check your profile to confirm you meet the minimum requirements of a program. Only if you are eligible will we move you to the payment stage. At this time you must pay the SuperVisas fee. We are transparent in our process and pricing, and clearly list all the fees and processing times for your visa. We use Stripe for credit or debit card payment processing, which is secure and encrypted. Government fees are paid later when the completed application is submitted and once we can correctly calculate the various government fees due. It can be complicated, but we guide you through the process.

    Complete Your Application Online

    Now, you can finish your application. There will be some "tasks", or many, for you to complete depending on your visa, such as entering your education achievements, employment history and/or dependent information. This can take time and will require answering more questionnaires and uploading of documents. Our system ensures everything necessary is gathered depending on your specific situation - preventing errors and omissions - while at the same time saving you money. Our immigration experts prepare your application so that your case is best presented to the visa officers. After a final review by you, and by our experts, your application will be submitted! You will have peace of mind that only comes with a complete and accurate application.
