SPONSORING YOUR SPOUSE TO CANADA?
How Do You Prove Your Relationship Is Genuine?
When applying for Canadian spousal sponsorship, proving that your relationship is genuine is one of the most important parts of the application.
There is no single document that proves a relationship is genuine. IRCC looks at the overall circumstances of the relationship and the evidence provided.
WHAT EVIDENCE CAN HELP?
Depending on your circumstances, you may include:
• Photos Together:
Photos from your wedding, visits, holidays, etc.
• Communication History:
Texts, emails, call logs, video calls showing regular communication, especially when living apart.
• Travel & Visits:
Flight tickets, boarding passes, hotel bookings, passport stamps, and other evidence of visits to each other.
• Letters from Family & Friends:
Letters or other evidence showing that your relationship is known and recognized by your families and social circles.
• Shared Life & Responsibilities:
Joint leases, bills, bank accounts, insurance, purchases, or other documents demonstrating a shared life, where applicable.
REMEMBER: More documents do not necessarily mean a stronger application.
The evidence should be genuine, consistent, relevant, and organized to tell the story of your relationship - from how you met to where your relationship is today.
