To prove the duration and nature of your relationship, you will need to submit documents such as:
- Relationship Information and Sponsorship Evaluation Questionnaire;
- Birth certificates, marriage certificates or adoption records of any children you and your common-law partner have together;
- Photos of you and your common-law partner that show your relationship;
- Documents proving that you are recognized as common-law partners of each other, such as employment or insurance benefits;
- Proof of shared expenses between you and your partner;
- Proof of your relationship (letters, emails, social media).
In general, applications to sponsor a spouse or partner can be submitted either outside Canada at a visa office abroad or in Canada at a local immigration office. Sponsorship applications for conjugal partners can only be submitted through an outside of Canada application process.
The standard spousal application processing time is 12 months.
Interviews are necessary only in cases where the information is considered not credible and are at the discretion of the visa officers assessing your application.
Here are some of the main reasons why your application could be refused:
- You did not provide enough proof of relationship to prove it is legitimate;
- There were errors in the Canadian spousal sponsorship forms;
- There was a misrepresentation of facts presented in your application;
- You are unable to meet basic requirements for spousal sponsorship;
- You or your partner are inadmissible due to a conviction or pose a risk to Canadian society.
The sponsor and the applicant spouse are required to live together in Canada for the duration of the processing of the application. This type of sponsorship application is filed in Canada.
Foreign spouses who are in Canada and have legal temporary status may apply for an Open Work Permit (OWP) while their Inland sponsorship application is being processed, allowing them to work for any Canadian employer. This measure is intended to alleviate potential financial hardship caused by potentially lengthy application processing times.
For Outland applicants, no such requirement exists for common habitat. Both of you can either be living together or apart if you are submitting an Outland Application.

What our clients say about us
I have had excellent, professional service. Very efficient and friendly staff who have gone the extra mile to listen, understand and put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance. Thank you both Natalie Pashley and Samantha Noble, you make a fantastic team and I am ever so grateful for all that you are doing for me, much appreciated.
Just had a brief, 30 minute chat with Houri and feel confident that she can support with our application of my wife's spouse visa. Whereas we may not do this immediately, Houri advises she will support us when we are willing to make the step. Overall I feel happy to go through IAS and proceed in the short to medium term and hopeful of a successful application leading to receiving the necessary visa, and the next one thereafter.
Dedicated and knowledgeable legal advisers and lawyers, making sure the clients are acquiring the highest level of understanding on their respective cases boundary conditions and the best legal route to achieve the desired success. We highly recommend the legal services provided by IAS. Also we admire and appreciate the knowledge and the professionalism of lawyer (Victoria Idia).
It was good, most of the necessary options for my inquiries were touched. Good communication and understanding of what you have to do. And the likelihood for your application to be treated with a positive feedback seems guaranteed . First you must be confident and hopeful which I saw with them.
IAS were incredibly helpful with my immigration matter and even opened up other options which myself and my partner hadn't considered before. I would highly recommend IAS for any of their services as they were very helpful, friendly and efficient. They really made our situation much easier.
Recently, I had engaged Nasreen to assist in the successful application for UK citizenship for my daughter. Prior to this, I had used IAS to secure my daughter's Indefinite Leave to Remain visa in the UK. Whilst both times I had thought the fees were expensive I concluded it was just too important to risk making the applications personally. The ILR application process was done remotely from Singapore and the citizenship application part remote/part face to face with Nasreen. All matters were handled professionally and promptly. Nasreen also deftly navigated around complex personal family dynamics carefully gathering the necessary documentation for the application. I would highly recommend Nasreen if you are seeking assistance with similarly stressful visa matters.
We used this service for the spouse visa to assure that all the information was valid and correct. Also ensured that some additional information was included we were not aware of. Well worth using this service and would recommend it. Thanks to the staff and Nasreen too.

Great service! I felt like I could ask them about anything and I was never made to feel like I needed to rush through my questions either. Anything I needed answered, they were always willing to listen and explain to me thoroughly. While my enquiry might've been simple compared to others, I still very much appreciate the effort that was put into it and also making sure I didn't have any doubts about the matter. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a better experience.
