How Can a Spouse Immigrate to Canada From India?

Do you feel nostalgic while living alone in Canada?

You’re a social animal. Living social life is your tendency. So, feeling homesick now and then is obvious. It’s a common problem for those who go on employment visa, study visa or business visa. Right from the day first, the Canadian government offers perks and facilities. It can be free education, free healthcare, legal protection, job opportunities and a lot more.

Don’t be a slave of loneliness! You have an option to immigrate your spouse or dependents to Canada from India. Yes! It’s possible provided that you’re ready to sponsor them. Let’s catch what eligibility criteria you need to match in the next section:

How can you sponsor a person to immigrate to Canada from India?

• You should be 18 years of age
• You should be a Canadian citizen or a Permanent citizen
• You should be financially sound enough to sponsor a family member in his initial stay period. This period of support can be 3 to 10 years long.
• You will be disqualified to sponsor the second time, if you have sponsored earlier to the one who was granted the permission of the government.

How can you determine that a spouse is eligible for immigration to Canada from India?

• Your spouse should be of 18 years or more.
• Your spouse should have a marriage certificate to prove he is legally married.
• Your spouse should have a marriage certificate from state, territory or province of Canada, if he has solemnized marriage there.
• Your spouse should have a proof that the marriage ceremony took place, if it’s solemnized outside Canada.
• Your spouse should have an apostilled police clearance certificate. It should read that your spouse has not committed any offense (if he has not been convicted ever).

How can you determine that a child is eligible for migrating to Canada from India?

Possibly, a married couple might have a child. In the immigration books, it would be considered a dependent. Otherwise, your parents and relatives would also be called dependent. You can sponsor either of them, if:

• He/she is less than 22 years and is unmarried.
• His/her study is on-going and his/her age is +22.
• He/she is financially dependent on parents although he/she is 22 or plus.
• He/she is married although he/she is less than 22 years but his/her study is ongoing.
• He/she is married although he/she is less than 22 years but he/she is dependent on parents.
• He/she is 22 years or more, but he/she is financially dependent on parents due to physical or psychological disability.

What things you should keep in your mind for applying PR of Canada?

The acronym PR stands for the Permanent Resident. If you have an idea of shifting to Canada at any corner of your mind, you should acquire its PR. For getting it, you should know which documents you should have; which examination is a must to give for and also, the migration cost.

Let’s consider these three major points briefly.

1. Documents: You need to know the Express Entry System because it mentions which documents you should enclose. The major role is of age proof and educational credentials. You should have their assessment report to validate your candidature for Canada’s PR. You can hire S2NRI to consult the list and specification of educational documents. It has been into the NRI service for more than a decade.
2. Test/Examination: You should be a certified IELTS. It will assess whether or not you’ll be able to communicate there. All in all, it’ll be an assessment of your linguistic proficiency. You can check its details on its official website. From costing to examination process, you’ll find every detail.

If you want to get into Canada via a business visa, you should have the certificate/documents pertaining to your profile.

3. Migration Cost: Like educational credentials, you should have an asset valuation assessment report. It will let them believe that you’ll be able to bear the cost of living there. And if you’re thinking of getting sponsorship, go through the details above carefully.
