Overview

Family sponsorship is one of the main pathways for bringing spouses, partners, and dependent children to Canada or helping them remain together through a permanent residence process. The application often depends on relationship type, cohabitation, status, supporting documents, and whether the case should be filed inside Canada or outside Canada. LM Law & CPA LLP helps families approach sponsorship with confidence. We review the facts carefully, explain which sponsorship class may fit best, and help prepare an application that reflects the relationship clearly and consistently. For many clients, the process is not just about submitting forms. It is about organizing the proof, understanding the requirements, and making sure the file tells a clear and credible story. Sponsorship cases can become more complicated when relationship evidence is incomplete, timelines are tight, dependent child details are unclear, or the sponsor is unsure which class applies. We help reduce that confusion by focusing on the key details, organizing the supporting material, and guiding clients through each stage in a practical way. Whether you are sponsoring a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, or dependent child, we aim to make the path more straightforward and less stressful.  

Who This Service Is For

This service is for Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and eligible sponsors who want to sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, or dependent child. It is also useful for families who need help deciding whether the application belongs in the family class or the spouse-or-partner-in-Canada class, people who want help understanding the relationship evidence they need, and sponsors who are not sure how dependent children should be included. Some families already know which sponsorship route they want but need help preparing the file properly. Others are still comparing options and want guidance before they submit anything. In either case, the process becomes easier when the sponsorship strategy is clear from the start.  

What We Help With

We help clients with spouse sponsorship, common-law partner sponsorship, conjugal partner sponsorship, dependent child sponsorship, class selection, document review, application preparation, and refusal or issue review. We also help clients understand what information should be included in the application and what can create confusion if it is missing or inconsistent. A sponsorship application is often stronger when the relationship history, living arrangement, supporting documents, and family details all work together as one clear story. When needed, we also help clients organize proof of cohabitation, relationship evidence, financial documents, and the forms needed for a complete submission. If the application has already been refused or if the facts have changed, we help review the next step and build a more practical path forward. When timing matters, we help clients move carefully and avoid preventable delays.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who can sponsor a spouse, partner, or child?
    In general, a sponsor must be at least 18 years old and be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or registered person under the Indian Act. Sponsors also need to meet the other eligibility requirements for the specific sponsorship category.
    Do I need income to sponsor my spouse or partner?
    In most cases, there is no income requirement for sponsoring a spouse or partner, but there are exceptions, especially when dependent children with children of their own are involved. We can review whether the income requirement applies in your situation.
    Can I sponsor my spouse if we live together in Canada?
    The most common documents are the letter of acceptance, identity documents, proof of funds, education history, and any prior immigration records.
    Can I sponsor my spouse if we live together in Canada?
    Yes, in some cases. A spouse or common-law partner living with you in Canada may qualify under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class if the other eligibility rules are met.
    Can I sponsor my dependent child?
    Yes, if the child meets IRCC’s dependant rules. In most cases, dependent children must be under the current age limit or meet the special dependency requirements if they are older due to certain circumstances.
