How The Spousal Sponsorship Brampton Program Works

By Linda Cole


For those who have married a Canadian and would want to move in with his or her partner in Canada, it is entirely possible to get a Canadian citizenship as long as the Canadian partner would sponsor the application. This type of application can be done through the spousal sponsorship Brampton program. If one has fallen in love with a Canadian citizen and would want to switch citizenship to be with his or her partner, then take note of these facts about the program.

Now, the first thing to know about this program is that it is a rather complicated process even though it sounds simple. It is a program wherein the Canadian citizen will be able to make his or her spouse a citizen of the country. The tricky part would be that there is a certain criteria that the couple will have to follow if they want to push through.

The very first condition that one would have to fulfill would be proof of actual citizenship or permanent residency by showing a birth certificate or a passport. From there, one will have to verify his or her age to show that he or she is eighteen or above. Lastly, one has to show financial capability of taking on the sponsorship which includes proof of not being a beneficiary of any government aid program.

Finally, one must not have any type of criminal record as per the government. If one has a record of a violent crime or sexual related offense, then most likely the application will already be denied. Also, chance of the application passing will go down if one has a history of conviction or imprisonment.

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.

Now, showing proof of a relationship or a marriage can be a bit tricky because it entails a lot of documentation. Not only marriage certificates or affidavits are needed but also photos, messages, call history, and testimonials in a one year period are needed. For married couples, possibly documents on bank accounts, household titles, and credit lines are needed.

One may be curious as to whether same sex couples may also avail of the program. LGBT couples are recognized in Canada and may also be able to avail of the program with the same conditions and criteria extended to the heterosexual couples. Both common law and married LGBT couples are allowed to avail the sponsorship.

For those who are applying for the program, take note that it is a long process. There will be errors at the start that need a lot of correcting so the whole process may take months. But if true love really waits, then it is worth the wait.
