How to apply for Canadian Dependent Visa / Spouse Visa
If you are coming to Canada for a short time & / or if you are on a student visa, your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children can join you in Canada.
Your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children can come with you to Canada or visit you in Canada, if they:
- Meet all the requirements for temporary residents to Canada.
- Satisfy an immigration officer they will only stay in Canada temporarily.
- Can prove they have no criminal record, if necessary, and.
- Meet all the conditions for getting a temporary resident visa, if they are from a country or territory whose citizens require a visa in order to enter Canada as visitors.
If you are moving to Canada permanently
Your spouse or common-law partner and dependent children can come with you to Canada if:
- You and your family members meet the eligibility requirements of your program (for example, you meet the income requirement to sponsor your family members),
- Your children qualify as dependants, and
- Your family members are not inadmissible to Canada.
Your Relationship
A dependant partner or child is one of the following:
- Your husband, wife or civil partner
- Your unmarried partner
- Your child under 18 years old – including if they were born in the UK during your stay.
You will need to provide evidence of your relationship when you apply, for example:
- a marriage or civil partnership certificate for your partner.
- a birth certificate for your child
Money they need to support themselves
Your partner and child must each have a certain amount of money available to them. This is in addition to the money you must have to support yourself.
If you are applying at the same time as your partner or child (you are applying together as a family), you will need to prove you have both money to pay for your course and to support yourself and additional money for each of them.
If your partner or child is applying at a different time to you, (they are applying separately) they only need to prove they have money to support themselves.
If you have a student loan or financial sponsorship, you will need to provide evidence of this from your loan or sponsorship company. If your loan does not cover your partner or child, you will need to prove you have money to support them instead.
How long they can stay
If their application is successful, their visa will end on the same date as yours.
