Can I Sponsor My Girlfriend?

Your relationship is getting serious, and you’re ready to take it the next level. Are you able to sponsor your girlfriend or boyfriend? The answer is YES! But there are many rules and conditions that apply. Understanding all the requirements will put you at ease and ensure that a confident case is showcased to the immigration officer. 

How To Be A SPonsor

First off, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Immigration officers will dissect the application to determine if the relationship is genuine. It must not have been entered primarily for acquiring permanent residency. You would be considered to be in a common-law relationship with your partner if you have been living together in a marriage-like relationship for at least 1 year.

Can I Still Get Married? 

Just because you’ve submitted an application does not mean the case is closed. The visa office will continue to correspond as the process goes on and we will be there every step of the way until the end. As mentioned earlier, each case involves personal attention. Some of these cases may have months or even years of processing time, which means your current living situation might change after your case is submitted. We know, when and if, it will be necessary to disclose certain changes in your life so that your application continues to process and does not get refused. We will follow up with immigration authorities to ensure your case is being monitored correctly.

There are many barriers that may prevent you from being eligible to sponsor, such as receiving social assistance, being convicted of a violent or sexual offense and much more.
