We’ve meticulously gathered all the essential information you’ll require to sponsor your spouse or common-law partner. Let’s delve into it!

Eligibility Criteria for Sponsors: To sponsor, you must be:

• A Citizen of Canada, enrolled under the Canadian Indian Act, or a Permanent Resident of Canada.
• An adult aged at least 18 years.
• Able to demonstrate the capacity to provide for the basic needs of yourself, your spouse or partner, and any dependent children of your partner (if applicable).

Ineligibility to Sponsor: You cannot sponsor if you have:

• Previously signed an undertaking for a former spouse or partner who hasn’t been a permanent resident for three years.
• Received social assistance for reasons unrelated to disability.
• Failed to repay any social assistance received during a previous sponsorship undertaking.
• Defaulted on an immigration loan or a performance bond.
• Neglected to pay court-ordered child support or alimony.
• Been convicted of a violent crime or a sexual offense or have threatened or attempted such actions. The nature and timing of the offense and whether a pardon was granted are taken into consideration.

Income Requirements: Sponsorships of spouses, partners, or dependent children typically don’t have a low-income cut-off (LICO). However, you must meet at least the minimum LICO score established by the Canadian government annually if your spouse or partner has a dependent child or if you have a dependent child. LICO requirements necessitate the submission of a Financial Evaluation (IMM 1283) form alongside your application.
