SPOUSE, PARTNER AND CHILDREN

Spouses, Common-law Partners, Conjugal Partners and unmarried children under the age of 22 who apply to Canadian permanent residents or citizens.

Key points

The main point of reunion immigration is to convince the visa officer of the authenticity of the relationship and the absence of fraudulent immigration in the previous reunion/immigration application.
After the successful reunion of the reunion, the guarantor cannot guarantee the other applicants again within 3 years and the guarantor within 5 years.
The Maple Leaf Card obtained by the guarantor is an unlimited Maple Leaf Card (the 2-year limit has been cancelled), and the divorce or relationship rupture after login will not affect the Maple Leaf Card. But the relationship can’t be broken before signing in, and you can’t use fake marriage to handle immigration.

Special tips about Quebec

If the guarantor resides in Quebec, an additional application for the Quebec government (CSQ) is required.
The Canadian Immigration Act requires that a Quebec Government Application Permit (CSQ) requires a dual-brand immigration consultant licensed by both the federal and Quebec provinces. All new and Quebec-related businesses in the new generation will be represented by a dual-brand immigration consultant.

The difference between overseas reunion and domestic reunion

The overseas guarantee time is relatively fast, and it is usually applicable to the case where the husband and wife are separated. The case is first applied for by the guarantee qualification in CPC-Sydney, and then usually submitted to Hong Kong or Ottawa to review the permanent resident application of the guarantor for a total time of about one year.
The overseas guarantee has the right to appeal, and it is destined to be able to open a court. If the domestic reunification is refused, it can only apply for judicial review. However, the clients we represent are rarely refused, so being able to appeal is usually not a factor that needs special consideration.
The domestic guarantee can apply for a spouse work permit. For the legal status of the applicant, the work permit can be applied at the same time as the domestic guarantee. In the case of applicant black in Canada, you can apply for a work permit after receiving a letter from Approve in Principle (AIP).
The refusal rate of domestic guarantees is lower than that of overseas. If both applicants are in the territory, the interview (lower probability) will be in Canada.
Domestic guarantees cannot only guarantee children, but can be used as a deputy application while guaranteeing the spouse (common law partner).

What is a cohabitation (common law) companion

In Canadian law, as long as the two parties live together for more than one year and live like a husband and wife, they can be considered married. This relationship is called Common-law Partner.
Cohabitation partners need to jointly swear to prove that the relationship is recognized by both parties. The form used is the IMM 5409 Statutory Declaration of Common-law Union, and the new generation of Canadian offices can provide a cohabitation oath.
For immigration applications, it is usually necessary to provide proof that both parties have lived for one year, including but not limited to: water, electricity, gas, credit card bills, bills, rental contracts, third-party testimony, etc.

What is a factual partner

Although there is no cohabitation and no marriage, as long as the two sides maintain a stable relationship, they can also reunite immigrants. This relationship is called Conjugal Partner.
Fact partners can only be reunited overseas and cannot be reunited in the country.
Fact partners need to prove that they are having difficulty getting married or living together.

The guarantor is not in Canada, can you reunite

Canadian citizens residing abroad may submit applications for overseas reunion, but the immigration officer is required to believe that once the guarantor becomes a permanent resident of Canada, they will reside in Canada.
Canadian permanent residents living outside the country cannot guarantee that they need to return to Canada to submit a guarantee application.

Reunion funds and medical examination requirements

The guarantor’s lack of work or low income does not affect the application, and there is no need to consider the guarantor’s income. However, the guarantor is required to perform the previous guarantee obligation and repay the government benefits received.
The guarantor needs a medical examination, but as long as it is not a serious infectious disease that jeopardizes public safety in Canada, it should not be refused because the treatment costs may impose an excessive burden on Canadian society.
