Reuniting Families Through Canada’s Immigration System

Family reunification is a cornerstone of Canada’s immigration policy, and the Spousal Sponsorship program plays a crucial role in bringing loved ones together. Whether your spouse or partner is inside or outside Canada, navigating the legal process requires accuracy, transparency, and careful preparation.

At Sunder Law, we help Canadian citizens and permanent residents sponsor their spouses, common-law partners, or conjugal partners with the confidence that every detail is properly addressed. From eligibility assessments to submission and follow-up, our goal is to help you build a future together—without unnecessary delays or refusals.

How Sunder Law Can Help With Your Spousal Sponsorship?

Eligibility Assessment for Both Sponsor and Applicant

We determine if both the sponsor and applicant meet IRCC’s eligibility criteria, including financial, residency, and relationship requirements—before you apply.

Detailed Document Review and Guidance

We guide you in gathering essential documents—proof of relationship, communication history, photos, joint financials—and help prepare statutory declarations, if needed.

Well-Structured Application Submission

Our team prepares and submits your spousal sponsorship application with care, ensuring it’s logically presented and fully compliant with IRCC expectations.

Support in Complex or Refused Cases

If your application was previously returned or refused, we help assess the reason and build a stronger resubmission or pursue an appeal where appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What types of relationships qualify for Spousal Sponsorship?

You may Sponsor a Spouse, common-law partner (12+ months cohabitation), or conjugal partner (in a committed relationship unable to cohabit due to significant barriers).

2. Can I Sponsor if I live outside Canada?

Only Canadian citizens—not permanent residents—may Sponsor a Spouse while residing abroad, and you must show intent to return to Canada after approval.

3. How long does Spousal Sponsorship take?

Processing typically takes 10 to 12 months, depending on whether it’s an inland or outland application. We monitor timelines and update you regularly.

4. What documents are required?

You’ll need ID documents, marriage certificate, proof of cohabitation, joint finances, travel records, and supporting relationship proof. We help organize and validate all submissions.

5. What if I previously Sponsored someone else?

Restrictions may apply. We assess past Sponsorship history and determine if you’re eligible to sponsor again.

6. Is an interview always required?

No, but if IRCC has doubts about the relationship’s genuineness, an interview may be requested. We help prepare you thoroughly.

7. Can I work while waiting for a decision on an Inland Sponsorship?

Yes. Inland applicants can apply for an open work permit along with their Sponsorship Application. We guide you through the steps.
