Every application starts with where you are today.

Your status, your dates, your family, your history. We look at the whole picture first, then tell you plainly what your options are and what it'll take.

Illustrative example, not a real client

A work permit with 40 days left

Most people reach out when a date is getting close. Here's how a time-sensitive file moves through the practice, from the first form to a filed application.

Day 1
Intake flags the deadline
The expiry date entered in the intake is under 90 days, so the file goes to the top of the review list.
Day 3
Consultation
We go through the options for staying and working, what each one needs, and the risks of waiting.
Day 4
Written agreement
Scope, fees, and what we need from you are agreed in writing before any work starts.
Day 12
Application filed before expiry
Applying before the current permit expires matters. We explain what that means for working while you wait.

Timelines vary by case. This example shows the process, not a promised result.

What we help with

Each service has its own page covering who it's for, how we help, common questions, and how to get started. Spousal sponsorship is built out in full as the template.

How it works

No surprises on scope or fees. You'll know what we're doing and why at every step.

Tell us your situation
Fill out the intake. It takes about 15 minutes, and you can save it and come back.
Consultation
We go through your options together and give you an honest view of where you stand.
Agreement

We prepare and file
We build the application, submit it, and keep you updated until there's a decision.

Services / Spousal and common-law sponsorship

Spousal and common-law sponsorship

If you're a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be able to sponsor your spouse or partner to become a permanent resident. The application lives or dies on the evidence, so that's where we spend our time.

Who it's for

Canadian citizens and permanent residents, 18 or older, sponsoring a partner
Married spouses, wherever the marriage took place
Common-law partners who've lived together for at least 12 months in a row
Conjugal partners who can't live together for reasons outside their control

How we help

Check eligibility for both of you before anything gets filed
Walk through applying from inside or outside Canada
Plan the relationship evidence so it tells a clear, consistent story
Prepare, review, and submit the full application
Handle IRCC's follow-up requests after you apply

Common questions

Do we have to be married?

No. Common-law partners who've lived together for at least 12 consecutive months can apply, and in limited cases, so can conjugal partners.

Should we apply from inside or outside Canada?

It depends on where your partner lives now, whether they need to travel while the application is processing, and whether they need to work while they wait. We'll go through the tradeoffs with you in your consultation.

What does the sponsor agree to?

The sponsor signs an undertaking to financially support their spouse or partner for 3 years from the day they become a permanent resident. That commitment holds even if the relationship ends.

How long does it take?

Processing times change often, so we don't quote a number from memory. We'll check IRCC's current posted estimate with you when we meet.
