Sponsoring Common-Law Partners To Canada During The Coronavirus Pandemic

The travel restrictions that are being set by Canada are being implemented to stop the further spread of the novel coronavirus.

Travel restrictions to stop the virus do not extend to immediate family members, which includes common-law partners.

For immigration purpose, the country of Canada defines a common-law partnership as 2 people that have lived together for one year in what the government of Canada calls “conjugal relationship” or a “marriage-like” relationship.

The citizens and permanent residents of the country may be eligible to sponsor their common-law partners for Canadian immigration.

Couples can prove that they have lived together for at least one year by providing a lease or mortgage that runs in both names.

In case that is not possible, they may use utility bills, bank statements, credit card bills, phone bills, their driver’s license, or document that shows that they have lived together for 1 year.

With coronavirus measures in act, partners that are travelling to Canada may use these and other documents to prove their relationship status at the Port of Entry.

The measures that are implemented due to the coronavirus pandemic will only affect couples differently depending their application and whether they are applying for Inland or the Outland sponsorship.
