I HAVE BECOME A CANADIAN PERMANENT RESIDENT AND HAVE DEVELOPED A RELATIONSHIP WITH A PARTNER FROM OUTSIDE CANADA; CAN I SPONSOR THAT PERSON AND DO WE NEED TO GET MARRIED?
Under the new Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) it is possible to sponsor a partner under the Spousal category (Conjugal Partner – not residing under the same roof), as long as you can show that you have had an exclusive relationship with that person for at least one year, and that you have the financial means to sponsor that person.
