Frequently Asked Questions

Who can sponsor a spouse in Canada?
Canadian citizens and permanent residents aged 18 or older may sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner. Sponsors must meet financial eligibility and must not be in default of certain obligations (like previous sponsorship undertakings or child support).
How long does spousal sponsorship processing take?
Standard spousal sponsorship processing is approximately 12 months for inland applications and 12–14 months for outland applications at most visa offices, though complex cases, requests for evidence, or medical and background checks can extend the timeline.
What is the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP)?
The PGP is Canada's main pathway for sponsoring parents and grandparents for permanent residency. Sponsors must meet minimum income requirements for three consecutive years preceding the application and are selected through an invitation-based process managed by IRCC.
Can common-law partners sponsor each other?
Yes. Common-law partners — defined as two people who have cohabited in a conjugal relationship for at least one continuous year — have the same sponsorship rights as married spouses. Proving the common-law relationship requires substantive evidence of cohabitation and interdependence.
What is a Super Visa and how is it different from a visitor visa?
A Super Visa is a multiple-entry visitor visa specifically for parents and grandparents, allowing stays of up to five years per entry and valid up to ten years. It requires proof of medical insurance, financial support from the child/grandchild in Canada, and meets its own eligibility criteria.
