Guiding Same Sex Couples Through Canadian Immigration for Reunification

Canada has been at the forefront of recognizing and supporting LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex relationships. If you're part of a same-sex couple hoping to bring your partner into Canada, understanding the various sponsorship categories avlable is crucial.

There are three primary avenues for Canadian citizens or permanent residents seeking to sponsor their foreign partners:

1. Spousal Sponsorship:

   • In a same-sex relationship context, a spouse refers to someone legally married to you.

   • Eligibility requirements include being at least 18 years old, being a citizen or permanent resident of Canada, and not being inadmissible based on IRCC's guidelines.

   • You'll need proof of the authenticity of your relationship through documents like marriage certificates, joint bank accounts, shared assets, photographs, affidavits from fris and family supporting your bond.

2. Common-Law Sponsorship:

   • A common-law partner is defined as someone with whom you have a long-term committed relationship without legal union, living together continuously for at least one year.

   • Requirements are similar to spousal sponsorship criteria but focus on the duration of cohabitation and genuineness of your relationship.

3. Conjugal Sponsorship:

   • If you don't meet spousal or common-law criteria due to obstacles like legal barriers, this category allows for sponsorship under specific conditions.

   • Criteria include a genuine committed relationship that's mutually depent, being unable to live together due to circumstances beyond your control.
