To sponsor spouses or partners, it is not necessary to demonstrate a specific minimum annual income.

When it comes to sponsoring spouses, the marriage certificate serves as proof of marital status. In the case of sponsoring common-law partners, it is required to show that they have lived together continuously under the same roof for at least one year before submitting the sponsorship application. However, beyond marital status, the most important aspect in these types of applications is demonstrating the authenticity of the relationship.
