A spouse or common-law partner can be sponsored to become a permanent resident of Canada with a Canada Spouse visa.

One of the quickest methods to become a permanent resident of Canada is to apply for a spouse visa. The Family Sponsorship Program includes the Spousal Sponsorship Program as one of its subcategories. Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor their spouse's permanent residency application under this subcategory. This category does not apply to fiancés. Proving the legitimacy of their marriage is a requirement for candidates.

• Authentic documentation of a marriage, such as a marriage certificate.
• Applicant must provide evidence that they intend to remain in Canada after their spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner obtains permanent resident status.
• A legally binding document stating both the sponsor and the sponsored individual have read and agree to the terms of the agreement.
• The sponsor is obligated to fulfil the fundamental needs of their spouse or common-law partner as stated in an undertaking agreement.
• The following items can serve as evidence of a relationship: a marriage licence, joint bank accounts or lease, photos of the couple, and proof of regular contact (letters, emails, and phone conversations).
