The Difference Between Inland & Overseas Spousal Application

The Difference Between Inland & Overseas Spousal Application

Currently within the Family Class Immigration category, there are three different categories that apply for spousal sponsorship. The different categories are marriage, common-law, and conjugal.

When a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada chooses to sponsor a spouse, they will be required to provide a valid marriage certificate as well as any evidence of a marriage ceremony or other marriage documents. On the other hand, when a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada chooses to sponsor their common-law partner, they must prove that they have been continuously living together for at least one year. In order to prove this, they may provide appropriate documentation, such as receipts, joint bank account information, and any government documents, to show that they live at the same address. Lastly, when a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada chooses to sponsor their conjugal spouse, they must prove that they have been in a continuous, committed relationship for a minimum of one year. However, the main difference between a common-law relationship and a conjugal relationship is that in a conjugal relationship it is not a requirement to live together. This is usually due to significant barriers that are preventing the two from living together.

The difference between the Inland Spousal Sponsorship and the Overseas Spousal Sponsorship strictly comes down to where your spouse is currently residing. When a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada chooses to sponsor their spouse who is not currently residing in Canada, they must then apply for an overseas spousal sponsorship application. In contrast, when a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada chooses to sponsor their spouse who currently resides in Canada, they must then apply for an inland spousal sponsorship application. The one requirement for this category of application is that the spouse requires a valid temporary visa or proper authorization to be in the country.
