This in-law sponsorship program in Canada allows citizens or permanent residents of Canada to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residence in Canada, therefore reuniting families. First and foremost, the sponsor and the sponsored spouse should be eligible by meeting some requirements. For example, the sponsor should be at least 18 years old and a citizen or permanent resident of Canada. Basically, the application process involves the collection of relationship support documents, identity documents, and financial statements. The ability of the sponsor to support the spouse finance-wise should be in a way that they will not become reliant on social assistance. After the gathering of all the documents, the application will then be forwarded for processing at IRCC. It is keeping families together by setting a clear path for spouses to be able to join their partners in Canada.
