Choose the family route

Start by separating the Canada spouse pathways

Sponsorship for permanent residence, work-permit options connected to family status and a temporary visit can require different evidence and lead to different decisions. Kanan can help organise and review a route; Canadian immigration officers make the final decision.

Spousal sponsorship for permanent residence

Is family sponsorship the route you and your spouse or partner are actually preparing for?

Sponsorship has its own eligibility, relationship and application requirements. A review can help you organise the genuine history and current records that fit this route; it cannot decide eligibility or an application outcome.

An open work permit connected to an in-Canada sponsorship application

Does the applicant meet the current conditions for this separate work-permit option?

An open work permit is not automatic because two people are married. Confirm the current IRCC instructions, the application stage and the applicant's actual status before treating it as part of a sponsorship plan.

A family-member permit tied to a worker or student

Is the family member's option connected to a spouse's work or study status instead?

Eligibility for family-member work permits depends on current rules and the principal applicant's situation. Review the relevant permit category and supporting evidence rather than relying on a previous rule or a generic spouse-visa checklist.

A temporary family visit

Is a temporary visit the honest purpose of travel at this point?

A visitor application needs a temporary purpose and evidence that fits the planned stay. It should not be presented as a substitute for a different immigration route when the facts point elsewhere.

Responsible counselling

A relationship review must stay truthful

What a useful file review checks

It compares the chosen route with the relationship history, current immigration status, sponsor records, applicant history and official instructions that apply now.

What responsible counselling does not do

Kanan does not create relationship evidence, hide a previous application or refusal, misstate a family situation or guarantee a visa, work permit or permanent residence outcome.

Evidence planning

Prepare evidence that fits the route and your actual history

There is no single spouse-visa document bundle for every family situation. Start with truthful records that explain the selected route and confirm the final requirements with IRCC.

Relationship history and current circumstances

  • Records that truthfully explain how the relationship developed and continues, where relevant to the route.
  • Marriage, common-law or family-status documents that are accurate, complete and consistent with the application.
  • A clear explanation for any periods of separation, different addresses or facts an officer may reasonably need to understand.

Route and sponsor records

  • Current status, residence and financial records required for the route being considered.
  • The sponsorship application, acknowledgement or permit-stage documents only where they are actually relevant.
  • Forms and statements that identify the correct route instead of mixing sponsorship, work-permit and visitor purposes.

Applicant history and prior applications

  • Passport, identity, travel and immigration history requested in the current official instructions.
  • Previous applications, refusals or status records where applicable, described truthfully rather than omitted.
  • Translations and supporting records prepared in the form IRCC currently requires before submission.

After a refusal

Review a family-immigration refusal before reapplying

Submitting the same facts with a new letter may not resolve the concern behind a refusal. Start with the earlier decision, then assess whether the route, facts and available evidence can genuinely support a next step.

  1. 01Read the refusal letter and the application history before deciding that another application is the next step.
  2. 02Reconstruct the earlier file, including forms, relationship records, status documents and explanations that were submitted.
  3. 03Identify whether the route, facts or available evidence can genuinely address the concern—not merely whether the presentation can be rewritten.
  4. 04Reapply, change routes or wait only when the next step is truthful and supported by the current rules and your actual circumstances.

Questions before you apply

Clear answers for a Canada spouse visa plan

Is a Canada spouse visa the same as spousal sponsorship?

Not always. Family sponsorship for permanent residence, work-permit options connected to a spouse's status or an in-Canada sponsorship application, and temporary visits are distinct routes. Start by confirming which route matches your present circumstances.

Can a spouse get an open work permit for Canada?

It depends on the current IRCC rules and the principal applicant's or sponsor-connected situation. Marriage alone does not make an open work permit automatic; confirm the relevant official instructions before you apply.

Can a consultant guarantee a Canada spouse visa?

No. Canadian immigration officers make the final decision. Kanan can help with route counselling, document preparation and file review, but it cannot guarantee an approval or create evidence that does not reflect your real circumstances.
