“Where Families Unite, Dreams Take Flight!”

Nowadays, most people are compelled to leave their family behind in their home country and move abroad due to work or business. Canada understands family values, and that’s why they offer a spousal sponsorship program so that you can bring your spouse home to you without facing any problems. The Canadian Spousal Sponsorship Surrey BC may become an effective pathway for your spouse to become PR or permanent resident in Canada.

At Watershed Immigration, our team of expert immigration consultants will help you step by step throughout the procedure. Keep in mind that the conjugal partner or common-law partner who wants to immigrate to Canada must be sponsored by a permanent or Canadian citizen. 

Spousal Sponsorship Program Canada

Canada gives a thoughtful opportunity to its permanent residents and citizens to live in Maple Country with their families. The spousal sponsorship program in Surrey, BC falls under the family sponsorship class. This program does not have any point system like the Express Entry program. Generally, it takes 8 to 12 months to process the application. The sponsors must sign a legal contract with IRCC before sponsoring their spouses. The sponsorship agreement is about – 

  • The sponsor must fulfill all the basic requirements of the sponsored person. 
  • You must prove that your relationship with the sponsored person is real.
  • The sponsors will do their best to provide for themselves and their families. 

Qualification Requirements for Canadian Spousal Sponsorship

If You are a Sponsor –

  • You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in Canada.
  • Must live in Canada
  • Must be 18 years old. 
  • If you are a Canadian but live outside Canada, and then you must prove that you will live in Canada if your spouse becomes a permanent resident.
  • You must be able to fulfill basic requirements of your spouse.
  • You also don’t get social assistance other than disability.
  • You will pay back if any provisional social aid is offered to the sponsored person within the undertaking period.

Minimum Income Requirements 

Usually, there’s no specific income requirement for sponsoring a spouse, partner, or dependent child. But, if the person you’re sponsoring or their dependent child has their own dependent child, there’s a minimum income cutoff (LICO) set by the Canadian government each year. Don’t worry, though – if this applies to you, at Watershed Immigration, we’ll help you fill out the Financial Evaluation form (IMM 1283) along with your application.

But, there’s a small catch – let’s call it a nuance:

Undertaking Agreement

Even though there’s no strict income level, you’ll need to sign an undertaking. It’s like a promise to provide financial support for your sponsored partner for three years after they become a permanent resident.

Assessing Your Finances

The immigration officers in Canada might look beyond just your income. They could consider things like:

  • Your employment history
  • Your savings and assets
  • If you have any debt
  • If you get support from Others

Our immigration consultants will assist you in preparing the necessary documents and navigate any additional considerations that may come up.
