or PR?

Customer

Then yes, you might need to give some information about your relationship, how long you have been together etc. As the immigration officers are worried that the marriage is solely for the purpose of PR.

Customer
We have been together for more than 10 months it is going to be a year soon
Customer

You should be fine as long as she is able to sponsor you. Look at the details of eligibility here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/eligibility.html

Customer
Sponsor for what but i am already in canada

Sponsership for PR.

ToLawyer, Expert

You apply for PR the same time she sponsor you. This is for spousal PR sponserhsip.

Customer
But i am gonna get married so does she still needs to sponsor me
img

ToLawyer, Expert

Yes, the fact that you are getting married is the reason why she can sponser you.

If you do not want to leverage your marriage, you of course can get PR through other means.

Customer
I am sorry I didn’t get that

ToLawyer, Expert

So. The PR you are trying to get is spousal sponsorship correct?

Customer
Hi

ToLawyer, Expert

Right, so your spouse actually need to file the sponsorship application along with your PR.

Customer
Ohhhh
Customer
