The Canada Inland Spousal Sponsorship Application: Process and Eligibility
Help the person you love to stay in Canada with you. Inland spousal sponsorship allows a citizen or permanent resident of Canada to sponsor their spouse/conjugal or common-law partner for permanent residence.
Inland spousal sponsorship is designed for citizens or permanent residents of Canada who wish to have their spouse/conjugal or common-law partner live with them as a permanent resident of Canada.
Inland Spousal Sponsorship Processing Time
You can expect your spousal sponsorship application to take anywhere from 12 to 36 months to process. The COVID-19 pandemic affected these processing times.
Who is Eligible for Inland Spousal Sponsorship?
To qualify for inland sponsorship, the spouse/partner must already have temporary resident status (working, studying, or visiting) in Canada. Applicants may also be eligible to apply for an open work permit which would allow them to work while waiting on their application decision.
While you are allowed to travel outside of Canada when your application is being processed if you are denied entry to Canada your application will be canceled. If this happens you will need to apply for outland spousal sponsorship.
In order to sponsor their spouse, the Applicant must prove:
The spouse, conjugal, or common-law partner must be at least 18 years old and must have medical, and criminal background checks. You two together must also prove that the relationship is legitimate snd genuine.
Spousal Sponsorship Process
Step 1: Obtain the Application Package
This package includes a document checklist, forms for you and your spouse, and instructions. Read the instructions carefully before beginning and double-check that you are eligible to sponsor. Fill out the application for you and have your spouse fill out their application.
Step 2: Gather Your Supporting Documents
One of the most important steps to your spousal sponsorship application is gathering all the correct supporting documents. These documents will include:
Step 3: Pay Your Application Fees
These fees will be for processing the applications for you and the person you are sponsoring, the right of permanent residence fee, and the biometrics fee. In certain cases, there may be fees for a medical exam or police certificate.
Step 4: Submit Your Application
There are mailing instructions included in the application guide. Your application will be returned to you if pieces are missing or the fees have not been paid.
Step 5: Send Any Additional Documents
Once you have sent in your application, you will be contacted about submitting additional documentation. This might include biometrics, medical exams, or police certificates.
