Question 1

Can I sponsor my partner if I'm living outside Canada?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Canadian citizens can sponsor while abroad. You must show intent to return to Canada once approved.

Question 2

Can my partner move to Canada before approval?

Accepted Answer

Your partner may visit or work in Canada during processing if they qualify for a visitor visa or work permit. We can advise on dual intent strategies.

Question 3

How long does family sponsorship take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 10-18 months although timelines can fluctuate. Complete applications avoid delays, our 100% success rate comes from thorough preparation.

Question 4

What's better: PR through sponsorship or a work permit?

Accepted Answer

PR offers permanent freedom; work anywhere, access healthcare, path to citizenship. Work permits are temporary and employer-tied.

Question 5

What if we've been rejected before?

Accepted Answer

If you've been refused before, we'll need to discuss the details during your consultation. In most cases, previous rejections aren't a barrier, they just tell us what needs to be strengthened in your new application. We'll review your refusal letter, address the specific concerns IRCC raised, and ensure your reapplication is complete and compelling. Many of our successful clients had prior refusals before working with us.

Question 6

Do I need to meet a minimum income requirement to sponsor my spouse?

Accepted Answer

For spousal sponsorship, there is no minimum income requirement—unlike other sponsorship categories. However, you must show you're not receiving social assistance (except for disability) and can support your partner's basic needs once they arrive in Canada.

Question 7

What if my partner doesn't speak English or French?

Accepted Answer

Language ability is not a requirement for spousal sponsorship. Unlike other immigration programs, there are no language tests required. However, settlement will be easier if your partner begins learning English or French before or after arrival.

Question 8

Can I sponsor more than one person at a time?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can sponsor your spouse/partner and their dependent children in the same application. However, you cannot sponsor multiple spouses or partners simultaneously (Canada doesn't recognize polygamous relationships).

Question 9

What's your role vs. what we need to do?

Accepted Answer

We handle all form completion, document review, legal compliance, and communication with IRCC. You'll gather personal documents (IDs, photos, proof of relationship), attend medical exams and biometrics appointments, and provide information about your relationship. We guide you through every step so nothing is missed.

Question 10

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we understand sponsorship is a significant investment. We offer flexible payment options to make the process more manageable. Payment terms are discussed during your consultation based on your service package.
