How to Sponsor a Spouse From Israel

Bringing your Israeli spouse to Canada through spousal sponsorship involves a step-by-step process. Understanding the requirements and procedures can help you navigate the process smoothly. With the assistance of an immigration lawyer, you can ensure that all necessary documentation is prepared accurately and increase the chances of a successful application.

Step 1: Filing for Spousal Sponsorship Canada

To sponsor your Israeli spouse for Canadian permanent residency, you will need to file for spousal sponsorship. This involves submitting the appropriate application forms, supporting documents, and fees to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Working closely with your immigration lawyer, you can ensure that all forms are completed correctly, and all required documents are included to demonstrate the authenticity of your relationship.

Step 2: Visitor Visa for your Israeli Spouse

While the spousal sponsorship application is being processed, your Israeli spouse can apply for a visitor visa to stay in Canada. This visa allows them to be with you while awaiting the outcome of the sponsorship application. Your immigration lawyer can guide you through the process of applying for the visitor visa, ensuring that all necessary documents are included and that the application is properly prepared.

Expediting the Spousal Sponsorship Process:

In certain circumstances, you may be eligible to expedite the spousal sponsorship process for your Israeli spouse. This can help reduce the waiting time and accelerate the processing of your application. Examples of situations that may qualify for expedited processing include cases involving humanitarian and compassionate grounds or cases where there are exceptional circumstances. An immigration lawyer can assess your situation and advise on whether you qualify for expedited processing, and if so, guide you through the necessary steps.

Monitoring the Application Progress:

Once the spousal sponsorship application has been submitted, it is important to monitor the progress of your application. You can check the status of the application online using the IRCC's application status tool. Your immigration lawyer can also keep you updated on any correspondence or requests for additional information from the IRCC.

Working with an Immigration Lawyer:

Partnering with an immigration lawyer experienced in spousal sponsorship cases is invaluable throughout the process. An immigration lawyer will provide expert guidance, review your application for accuracy, and ensure compliance with all requirements. They will liaise with the IRCC on your behalf and address any concerns or issues that may arise during the application process.

Maximizing Success: Professional Application Preparation

To increase the chances of a successful spousal sponsorship application, professional application preparation is essential. An immigration lawyer will meticulously review your documents, ensuring their accuracy and completeness. They will provide guidance on the supporting documents needed to demonstrate the genuineness of your relationship. By working with an immigration lawyer, you can present a strong and compelling case, minimizing the risk of application rejection and maximizing the chances of approval.
