How to Sponsor Your Common Law Partner
Your approach to sponsoring your common-law partner depends on your unique situation but the 3 main steps are:
1) Check Your Eligibility
The government considers a variety of factors such as your age, location, background, and relationship history. You should confirm your eligibility before committing the time and money to apply for sponsorship. Click here to start your free assessment.
2) Submit Your Applications
You will have to submit 2 kinds of application packages at the same time to cover each of you. These can be challenging, time-consuming, and confusing. Also, the government is known for changes to their rules. Those who make mistakes may experience a refusal or long delay in processing. That is why it's important to work with a trusted, experienced and affordable immigration professional to put together your applications.
3) Track Your Application
After applying, you'll have to monitor the status of your application and make any needed updates or changes.
