Are you looking for information on how to sponsor your Indian spouse for Canadian immigration?

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their foreign spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, and conjugal partners through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

You can sponsor someone from India for permanent residency (PR) in Canada if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is married to them or has lived with them for one year as common-law partners.

Obtaining permanent residency in Canada will allow your Indian spouse to live and work in Canada, as well as access to health care and social assistance.

In order to be eligible for family sponsorship in Canada, both of you must fulfil a number of crucial standards.

First and foremost, you must consider the age restriction for sponsors, who must be at least 18 years old.

Spousal sponsorship has no financial requirements, but you must demonstrate that you have a strategy to financially support your family, including yourself and the sponsored individual. You can do so by demonstrating that you have enough income, savings, or assets to support your entire family. Furthermore, unless it is due to a handicap, those receiving social assistance are not eligible for sponsorship.

On the other side, your Indian spouse or partner will be investigated for probable inadmissibility and criminal convictions.

Providing the needed documentation to verify that your relationship with the sponsored individual is real is one of the most crucial elements in the process of sponsoring a spouse to come to Canada. If you are married, you will be required to present certain papers, including a marriage certificate, among others. Legally executed marriages in India are typically lawful in Canada. In place of a marriage certificate, you must produce documented, documentation of your 12 month cohabitation term if you are in a common-law partnership.

Although most documents produced in India are in English, you will need to offer a translation if you have older documents that were issued in Hindi or another language. These translations must be validated and fulfil IRCC specifications.

If the documents supplied are insufficient proof of a genuine connection, or if an officer wishes to examine updated documentation regarding cohabitation or the continuation of your relationship while living apart, they may request more information or schedule an interview with you.

Keep in mind that the officer reviewing your application has discretionary authority, and cases are examined on an individual basis. As a result, it's critical that you submit a strong sponsorship package with as much supporting documentation as possible.

The Canadian Sponsorship Process: What You Need to Know

You must apply to the Immigration and Refugee Control Commission (IRCC) at the federal level.

For permanent resident (PR) status, you must submit two separate application components: your sponsorship section and your spouse's or partner's portion. The two components must be submitted jointly to IRCC.

You'll also have to pay IRCC a charge for applying for family sponsorship.

You must ensure that your application is sent to the proper address. This information may be found in the government's sponsorship handbook, which you can download.

You can stay in India if you are a Canadian citizen, but you must show that you intend to travel to Canada with your husband after he or she secures a permanent residence visa. However, if you are a permanent resident of Canada, you must live in Canada to sponsor your spouse or partner.

The time it takes IRCC to process a sponsorship application is usually around 12 months.
