The Canadian government wants you to reunite with your family. Canada is a multinational economy where thousands of people every day order to seek a better life. If you are a citizen, student, or permanent residence holder here, you are allowed to bring your spouse here.

Married couples, common-law partners, and conjugal partners are included in this category.

You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner if:

  • they are at least 18 years old
  • your relationship is genuine (real) and wasn’t entered into just to get permanent resident status in Canada

If your spouse or common-law partner is applying in the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada class, they must already co-habit (live) with you in Canada.
