This may increase the risk of delays and potential increases in refusal rates for spousal sponsorship applications. If your case is genuine our experts can help you:
We have seamless and robust internal systems that help you submit the documentation with ease and confidence.

The marriage certificate or a mere relationship doesn't guarantee you a spousal visa.

Multifaceted Reasons:
(including but not limited to)
>>Marriages of Convenience

Lawyer Representation For Spousal Sponsorship

Generally spousal applications are around 200 pages long. If we consider government forms, supporting documents and translation, it can reach 250+ pages. In addition, factors like divorces, previous marriages, recent marriages, children from previous marriages or common-law relationships make the application more challenging.

Potential Self-Representation Outcomes
In addition to refusal, there are various alternative unfavourable outcomes as under:
Returned Application: An incomplete application is returned in 2 to 3 months. In case of Inland Spousal application, the Open Work Permit implied status is jeopardized. Restoration of Status can be applied if 90 day period has not elapsed and the Spousal Sponsorship application can be resubmitted. On the contrary, if 90 day period is breached, the principal applicant can be sponsored for permanent residence, but Work Permit will not be issued, unless a separate TRP request is made with the work permit.
Interviews: All too often, nervousness or over-confidence both go against the applicant. Convincing the visa officer becomes a daunting task.
Detailed Submission Letter: IRCC can issue a Fairness Letter that makes detailed Submission Letter inevitable.
Refusal: If an Outland Spousal Sponsorship application is refused, we can file an appeal with Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). However, it can take up to 1.5 years to be heard and the decision can take even longer. Implications are dire for Inland Spousal Sponsorship cases that are refused as we cannot appeal it. As a result, the principal applicant in Canada will lose the status.
Genuineness of a relationship:
To shun fraud and marriages of convenience, IRCC reviews every application with an intention to scrutinize the genuineness of relationship. Misrepresentation can cause a refusal and an imminent 5 year ban on the principal applicant to enter Canada.
Returned applications:
Wrong forms versions as they change frequently
Mistakes in 200+ answers that are required
Incomplete documentary evidence
Mistakes with divorce documentation
Documentation/disclosure mistakes with respect to children from other/previous relationships
What is the criteria for assessing Spousal Sponsorship application?
IRCC scrutinizes various factors as below:
Couple compatibility
Presence or absence of co-habitation
Relationship duration (2 years or lesser needs complex documentation)
Religious, caste, country differences
Age difference
Difference in education
Cultural differences
Frequently Asked Questions About Spousal Sponsorship for Canada
Who is eligible to sponsor a spouse to Canada?
You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child through spousal sponsorship program if you are a permanent resident or citizen of Canada.
Do I need a job to sponsor my spouse?

Yes you can. You can apply for a TRV (temporary resit visa).
I am studying in Canada. Can I sponsor my spouse?
Yes, you may be able to bring your spouse, common-law partner or dependent children with you to Canada.
Which option should I choose for Spousal Sponsorship: Inland vs Outland Sponsorship
Outland: This option is sometimes the only option if the spouse does not get temporary resident visa. However, you can submit an Outland application even if your partner is in Canada. This option may be the best choice if your partner is able to travel to Canada but is unable to stay in the country during the processing of the application for work-related or personal reasons.Inland: One of the advantages of filing an inland application is that your spouse can apply for an open work permit while the application is with IRCC. It takes about 3-4 months to obtain an open work permit. This permit allows him or her to work and be employed in almost any field in Canada during this waiting period.

Spousal Sponsorship Canada from Pakistan
I successfully applied for Spousal Sponsorship PR Visa through URK. Spousal process is quite complex but they took care of everything for us and the price is quite reasonable too. It’s a good value for money. They helped with important documentation and included a detailed submission letter with my application to explain some gaps. In summary, we couldn’t have done it without them. I highly recommend them..

Spousal Sponsorship to Canada from Australia
My spouse was immigrating from Australia. At first I decided to apply on my own but there was a plethora of confusing stuff, not to mention huge documentation requirements, so I decided to hire an immigration consultant. After a short research, I ended up retaining URK Immigration. The advice was solid and internal forms were a breeze. The money spent was definitely worth it. The consultant, Uzma is extremely friendly and easy going, always available to help and clarify doubts. I highly recommend URK.

Express Entry from India
I am extremely happy to receive COPR request for my Permanent Residence visa under Express Entry -Canadian Experience Class (CEC). URK Immigration has been instrumental in my success. Initially I thought it was an easy application only to realize how much value each review added to the application, ranging from revised experience letters to regulatory advice to even catching mistakes that only an experienced lawyer or consultant can catch. Anyone out there looking for advice on any Canadian visa should definitely reach out to URK, and ask for Uzma if possible. Their fees are very competitive too and we are retaining URK for my husband’s spousal sponsorship application as well. Fingers crossed!
