Common Law Sponsorship

[ajmendoza]

Hi Everyone,

May I please ask for your help regarding sponsoring my common law in the Philippines? I hold a valid work permit and landed Canada back in June 2019. My partner and I have been together for over 7 years and had our Holy Union last December 2019.

Is it possible to get a Statutory Declaration for Common Law here in Canada even if he is in the Philippines?

Can I sponsor him even if I hold a work permit for inhome caregiver?

Thank you everyone.

If your job is in NOC 0, A, or B, your common-law spouse could apply for an open work permit based on your work permit. You'd need to verify that your job is in one of those NOCs and that you had sufficient proof.

If you are not a PR, a work permit is the only thing he could apply for through you, provided your job matches.

Work permits for spouses are not guaranteed.

thank you for the information, I have similar case. A friend of mine is on work permit with valid job offer in Noc B, his work permit is valid more than 6 months and he applied for Spouse open work permit. However, he got a rejection with a reason that " you have not adequately demonstrated that you meet the requirements of a spousal open work permit pursuant to section 205(c)(ii) of regulations. Is there something he's missing?

1. Your (friend's) case is not similar as you (they) are not asking if they (you) can apply for a permit. Please don't hijack threads.

2. Can't tell from the limited information you've provided here.

3. Spousal work permit applications are not guaranteed, even if you think you tick all the boxes.

My NOC is 4411 for Inhome Caregiver. Am I eligible? Thank you again.

That looks like NOC C.

That looks like NOC C.

I appreciate it. Do you have any idea if I can sponsor my common law?

If it's not in NOC 0, A, or B, no you can't. Like I said above.
