Canada Family PR — Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Canada spousal sponsorship take from UAE?
Outland spousal sponsorship from UAE typically takes 12–24 months depending on IRCC processing volumes and visa office. Inland applications may be faster if applicant is already in Canada.
Can I sponsor my spouse if I am a Canadian PR living in UAE?
Canadian citizens can sponsor from anywhere. Permanent residents must intend to live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a PR. PR sponsors should demonstrate plans to return to Canada.
What is common-law sponsorship in Canada?
If you are not married but have lived together continuously for at least 12 months, you may qualify as common-law partners for Canadian PR sponsorship — same outcome as spousal sponsorship.
Can dependent children be included in spousal sponsorship?
Yes. Dependent children under 22 (or over 22 if financially dependent due to disability) can be included in the same IRCC family sponsorship application at no extra sponsorship fee per child.
What is the difference between inland and outland sponsorship?
Outland: applicant in UAE, can travel, appeal rights. Inland: applicant in Canada, may get open work permit, cannot leave Canada during processing, no IAD appeal.
Do I need a job offer for Canada family sponsorship?
No. Family class sponsorship does not require a job offer or Express Entry CRS score. The sponsor must meet basic eligibility — not receiving social assistance (except disability) and no serious criminal record.
