Spousal and partner sponsorship to Canada
Bring your plans together with a clear application strategy. Discuss the sponsor, your relationship history and the evidence needed for your situation.
Based in London, Ontario. Canadian immigration enquiries across Canada and abroad. Scope confirmed for each matter.
Start with your circumstances
Clear advice. Practical next steps.
A sponsorship consultation considers both people: the sponsor’s position and the applicant’s history. We also discuss current location, status and previous applications before recommending a route.
Prepare meaningful evidence
Organise your relationship chronology and supporting records so they tell a consistent, accurate story.
Address complications early
Identify previous refusals, prior relationships, status concerns or other facts that need attention.
What to understand before you proceed
IRCC provides sponsorship routes for spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children, subject to the applicable requirements. These categories have different definitions. A consultation helps identify the relevant category and preparation questions; a relationship alone does not establish that every requirement is met.
Make the consultation useful
Bring the information that matters.
- Both partners’ citizenship, residence and current immigration status
- A relationship chronology with important dates
- Marriage, divorce or other relevant civil-status records
- Details of children and previous sponsorships
- Prior applications, refusals and any outstanding immigration correspondence
Use the secure sharing instructions supplied by the office. Do not send identification or sensitive records through a general enquiry.

Before you book
Your questions, answered.
Can we use the same checklist as another couple?
Your evidence and requirements depend on your category and circumstances. Use the relevant current IRCC instructions and discuss any unusual facts before submitting.
Can my partner work while an application is pending?
A sponsorship application does not itself authorise work. Ask about work-permit eligibility and the conditions applicable to your partner’s circumstances.
Can we have an online consultation together?
Choose an available Teams consultation and follow the calendar’s guest instructions. Tell our team if you need help arranging attendance.
I already have an active file. Should I book here?
Use existing-client booking and follow the verification steps for your active matter.
