Fraud Nuptials Reason To Force New Spouse Sponsorship Law in Canada

Hike in the number of nuptial frauds in Canada forced authority of Citizenship and Immigration Canada to introduce new regulation for spouse immigration sponsorship. The new rule has a condition attached to the permanent resident status when sponsored spouses or partners arrive in Canada.

This regulation will only be applicable to those applicants, who is in relationship for two years or less and do not have any children with the sponsor.

From the time this rule has been brought into practice, the whole process of spouse sponsorship is changed. Now, if anyone submits immigration application and he/she is sponsored by his/her spouse living in Canada, approval of application is still first step of process. After the approval of application applicant is granted conditional permanent residence.

According to the condition, the person sponsored and sponsor then have to live in a legitimate relationship with each other for two years. These two years start as soon as the applicant receives conditional permanent residence. If period of two years is completed successfully, the condition on permanent residence will not exist.

In case application sent by applicant is received before the day October 25, 2012, then this rule is not viable to them. The clause of in relationship for more than 2 years or having a child in common, either of them is satisfied applicant is saved from it.

Once the applicant gets the conditional PR, he or she becomes eligible for rights and privileges offered by Canadian government to any other permanent resident. The enforcement to live with sponsor does not signify that one cannot inform about incidence of abuse and neglect.
