FAMILY SPONSORSHIP

At Barbican Immigration, we specialize in Spousal Sponsorship and Family Sponsorship applications — helping couples reunite in Canada quickly and confidently. Whether you are sponsoring your wife, sponsoring your husband, common-law partner, same-sex partner, or conjugal partner, our team ensures that your application is not only complete, but also compelling, accurate, and strategically presented.

We understand that bringing your loved one to Canada is one of the most emotional and important immigration journeys you’ll ever make. Our detailed, evidence-based approach helps eliminate doubts, reduce processing delays, and avoid unnecessary interviews.

Who Can Sponsor a Spouse or Partner in Canada

To be eligible to sponsor your spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner, you must:

  • Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or older

  • Demonstrate that your relationship is genuine and ongoing

  • Not be in default of previous sponsorships, court orders, or immigration undertakings

  • Prove that you can financially support your partner without relying on social assistance

If you meet these basic criteria, you can sponsor your partner inland (while they are inside Canada) or outland (while they are outside Canada).

Inland vs. Outland Sponsorship

Inland Sponsorship allows your partner to remain in Canada while the application is processed.

  • Official processing times can take up to 36 weeks, but our clients often receive approvals within 7–8 months due to the quality and completeness of our submissions.

  • In many cases, your spouse may also apply for an open work permit during the process, allowing them to work in Canada while waiting for a decision.

Outland Sponsorship is for couples where one partner lives outside Canada.

  • Although the IRCC processing timeline varies by country, many of our outland sponsorships have been approved in as little as 3–4 months when properly prepared.

  • A well-documented and clearly explained application can significantly reduce wait times and avoid interview requests.

Our Expertise: Building Strong, Interview-Free Applications

Many applicants believe that following the IRCC document checklist is enough — but that’s a common mistake. Immigration officers assess not only the documents you submit, but also the story your evidence tells.

At Barbican Immigration, we go far beyond the checklist. We help you:

  • Demonstrate your genuine relationship through a detailed timeline, shared experiences, and emotional connection

  • Include letters from family and friends recognizing your relationship

  • Prepare proof of shared responsibilities, such as finances, property, communication history, and photos

  • Build a cohesive narrative that eliminates any doubt for the immigration officer

We take pride in the fact that none of our spousal sponsorship applications have ever been called for an interview — because we anticipate and address every question before the officer ever needs to ask.

Types of Relationships We Work With

Our team expertly handles sponsorships for all types of relationships:

  • Married couples — Legally married couples with valid marriage certificates recognized in Canada or abroad.

  • Common-law partners — Couples who have lived together in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 consecutive months and can provide evidence of shared life and commitment.

  • Conjugal partners — Couples who cannot live together or marry due to legal, cultural, or other serious barriers but can prove a genuine, committed relationship over time.

No matter your situation, our approach is personalized, thorough, and fully compliant with IRCC standards.
