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.
We determine if both the sponsor and applicant meet IRCC’s eligibility criteria, including financial, residency, and relationship requirements—before you apply.
We guide you in gathering essential documents—proof of relationship, communication history, photos, joint financials—and help prepare statutory declarations, if needed.
Our team prepares and submits your spousal sponsorship application with care, ensuring it’s logically presented and fully compliant with IRCC expectations.
If your application was previously returned or refused, we help assess the reason and build a stronger resubmission or pursue an appeal where appropriate.
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).
Only Canadian citizens—not permanent residents—may Sponsor a Spouse while residing abroad, and you must show intent to return to Canada after approval.
Processing typically takes 10 to 12 months, depending on whether it’s an inland or outland application. We monitor timelines and update you regularly.
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.
Restrictions may apply. We assess past Sponsorship history and determine if you’re eligible to sponsor again.
No, but if IRCC has doubts about the relationship’s genuineness, an interview may be requested. We help prepare you thoroughly.
Yes. Inland applicants can apply for an open work permit along with their Sponsorship Application. We guide you through the steps.
