Video: Spousal Sponsorship Canada

If a Canadian citizen or permanent resident marries a foreign national, they may later sponsor them to Canada under certain circumstances. A successful sponsorship application results in the permanent residency of the foreign national. This opportunity is also available to common-law partners, conjugal partners, dependent children, and adopted children. 

Al Parsai is a bestseller author, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and an Instructor at Ashton College. In this video, Al explains different aspects of spousal sponsorship. He even discusses matters such as fake marriages and appeals of the decisions of an immigration officer briefly.
