Details About The Spousal Sponsorship Brampton Program

By Linda Cole


The good news about foreigners who have found the love of their lives in the form of a Canadian citizen would be that they can become a Canadian citizen by having the spouse sponsor the application. This application is also known as the spousal sponsorship brampton program and it is a program that allows Canadian citizen to be with their foreigner partners. If one is interested, here are a few facts to know of.

First, one may be asking how this program works and how it would be implemented for foreigners. Basically, it is a program that allows the immigration application of a foreigner to be sponsored by his or her spouse who is a permanent resident in Canada. However, do take note that there is a certain criteria that has to be met before this application can be approved.

The first criterion that has to be met would be that the Canadian citizen who wants to sponsor his or her spouse has to be a permanent resident and a recognized adult of at least eighteen years old. Next, he or she has to prove that he or she has the financial capability to pay for the sponsorship. Finally, he or she has to prove that he or she has never received any financial aid from the government.

Lastly, one has to be able to show that he or she is not a criminal. For those who have crimes involving violence like assault and also sexual offenses, the application will most likely be rejected. Also, applicants who have been imprisoned may also have their application rejected by the Canadian government.

Now, a very common question that is asked is if whether one can sponsor his or her fiance. The good news is that the program not only reaches out to those who are legally married but also those who are not yet married. This is referred to as a common law partnership and is also covered by the program provided that the couple has been in a serious relationship for more than a year and are planning to marry.

Proving the marriage or relationship is the rather hard part because it needs a lot of documentation. For common law relationships, a marriage certificate is needed along with supplementary documents like pictures of the honeymoon, dates, and sweet text messages within a period of a year. Married couples need to provide more documents like couple credit lines, couple joint accounts, and proof of joint households.

Now, one may also be asking whether LGBT couples are allowed to apply for this sponsorship program. Yes, they are actually recognized as actual couples, both married and common law partners. Take note that the same terms and conditions are extended to them wherein they have to prove that they are serious with their partners by showing documentation.

Now, before applying for the program, it is important to note that it is a very lengthy process. The government will go through the application and check for details which may take months. But if it is worth it, then by all means go for it.
