The spousal sponsorship application process typically involves submitting an application, providing supporting documents, and attending an interview if requested. The application process can be complex and may require the assistance of licensed and experienced immigration consultants like West Vision Immigration.
If the sponsored spouse or common-law partner is still a student in Canada, they may be eligible to apply for an open work permit through the Spousal Work Permit Pilot program. This program allows the sponsored spouse or partner to work in Canada while the spousal sponsorship application is being processed.
