Spousal Sponsorship - Good News for Sponsoring a Spouse from Abroad

I thought I would share a few thoughts this Valentine's Day on Spousal Sponsorship and the recent CBC.ca article "Liberals speed up foreign spouse reunions, tackle application backlogs: www.cbc.ca/news...
Although I am 100% conservative by political persuasion, I have to give credit to the Liberals, where credit is due. In this video I shared some insight on why the Liberals should be proud of their accomplishments within the Spousal Sponsorship program and how these recent successes are benefitting Canadians and permanent residents of Canada who are looking to sponsor a spouse from abroad.
Spousal Sponsorship applications are probably one of the most common permanent resident applications we do within our office. We act for clients all over the world. We would be delighted to work with you in securing PR status for your spouse.
If you liked this video, you are going to love this Episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast where immigration lawyer, Ravi Jain and I discussed the ins and outs of Spousal Sponsorship and the more common pitfalls people often experience when going through the spousal sponsorship process:
Spousal Sponsorship - Can you really afford to make a mistake: www.canadianimm...
And if you liked this episode, you will really enjoy the Episode I did with x-immigration officer, Billie Young where we examined the immigration officer "bed check", that sometimes happens when an officer shows up at your door wanting to get a first-hand look at whether or not you and your spouse are actually living together in Canada:

    Good points, Mark! A lot of people think spousal sponsorship is a daunting process, but relative to other immigration application streams it's reasonably quick and easy.

    My partner is studying in Montreal and I am from Seattle, USA so while he and I apply for the sponsorship and I apply for the work permit after if the visa is approved, can that all be processed while I am outside canada and inside? and also, since we haven't lived together and shared accounts and bills before, will that make our relationship less serious to the eyes of the government?

    I'm considering finding a wife in a Rohingya refugee camp - Bangladesh. Through some mild research and contacting lawyers and immigration, it seems that a spousal sponsorship - from Outside Canada - would be the best course of action. Seeing that such an individual is; "Stateless", without proper ID, and from an impoverished nation - from which they fled, I need all the help and advice I can get! So far, the biggest hurdle I can foresee is the difficulty of getting them a Canadian VISA in order to get into the country. I've read that trying to obtain an ITD may be the best course of action. Although, I have no idea of how a refugee would obtain an ITD. My idea seems daunting, though I'm positive it can be done. I just need teh right advice on what the person should apply for : refugee/spousal visa. Help! +1

    Unfortunately, this is not possible under the Family Class. Options for sponsoring adult siblings are virtually non-existent. You would likely need to qualify under a different pathway to permanent residence in Canada.

    Mie Paac to get a sponsor from Canada is not cup of tea. It's almost impossible. What i am suggesting you is " Give General IELTS exam, get 6.5 band, apply for the PR from Canadian immigration official website. Show your all work experience. It will take at least 1 year to process and all. After you get PR you can directly fly to Canada. Thank you.

    Lydia Martinez absolutely. You would first need to be sponsored for Permanent Resident status in Canada and then provided you meet the qualifications for Canadian citizenship (actually live in Canada with your spouse) you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship. One of the most attractive features of Canadian PR status is that while travelling outside of Canada with your Canadian spouse, every day spent outside of Canada is considered a day spent inside Canada for PR purposes. If you need any assistance, or would like to book a paid consultation with me, you can do so at this link: www.stringam.ca/immigration-mark-holthe/
