Is your husband or wife living outside Canada and you have a permanent resident card? Then it is easy for you to bring them in by sponsoring them. The rules are not going to be as strict as it was for you to enter Canada. The eligibility criteria such as employment letter, and education don’t apply to them.
Another fact is that Canada is a perfect place to settle with your family with its freedom of culture and diverse environment. This spouse visa allows permanent residents or citizens to sponsor the visa for their family (spouse, parents, grandparents) who are living outside Canada. Canada Visa Consultants make this process easier and make sure you choose the right one.
This is one of the popular visa programs and the Spouse Sponsorship Visa program is actually a part of the Family Sponsorship Visa Program. This visa basically allows you to sponsor your spouse or children for a permanent residency card.
Criteria for children
And when it comes to the child, the child must be below 22 years old and must not have a spouse. The husband/wife and child are all called “dependent”.
Criteria for Spouse
1. The spouse should be above the age of 18
2. The spouse should be legally married to you, you can prove that by providing the necessary marriage documents.
3. The place where you got married also plays a role. If you got married outside Canada then your spouse is eligible.
4. Your spouse must not have any criminal cases on them.
Canada spouse visa processing time
The visa process can last up to 12 months however the IRCC can delay according to their needs and if the application is not complete with some missing details, then it will not be processed. You must note that the spouse visa processing time also depends on the country from which you are applying. For example, if it is Canada Immigration Chennai then as per the recent changes the processing time is 12 months.
Are you eligible to sponsor or not? If you are then you will surpass everything that is mentioned below:
1. You should be a permanent resident or a citizen of Canada.
2. You must be above 18 years of age.
3. You should be living inside Canada if not you must promise that after bringing your Spouse in you must live in Canada.
4. You must make sure that you do not need any social assistance.
5. Quebec has separate sponsorship conditions, so if you are living over there you must make sure that you fulfil those.
