If you get married and apply outland he would be able to go back to Sweden and work while you wait for his PR. Timeline on the website says 12 months, mine ended up being only 8 months out of India.
Immigrating partner from Sweden
- Thread starter Immigrations
- Start date
I wanted to ask... how does one get married in Ontario to someone from not here when you require two government IDs for the marriage license?
Looks like they can use their government issued IDs from the country of origin.
So, once we do get married and he returns to Sweden. Won’t there be additional requirements to prove or is the marriage certificate going to be enough?

Have you actually looked at the application?? There is a whole checklist of required proofs.
Not at the checklist no because we aren’t married yet.
What else is required to sponsor a spouse?
What else is required to sponsor a spouse?
I don’t understand everything that I read. That’s why I am seeking help in this forum. For example, when I read the following, I interpret this that in order to sponsor a husband he must reside here with me. He was planning to return to Sweden and continue to work and save until the PR was approved. Am I misunderstanding this??
Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner
You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner if:
Important: A conjugal partner is, in relation to a sponsor, a foreign national residing outside Canada who has been in a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least one year. A foreign national residing inside Canada cannot be sponsored as a conjugal partner.
Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner
You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner if:
- they are at least 18 years old
- your relationship is genuine (real) and wasn’t entered into just to get permanent resident status in Canada
Important: A conjugal partner is, in relation to a sponsor, a foreign national residing outside Canada who has been in a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least one year. A foreign national residing inside Canada cannot be sponsored as a conjugal partner.
You're reading one sentence about the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada Class and assuming it applies to the entirety of spousal applications? You're not quite reading it right. You can apply with the spouse not in Canada. That's actually how the whole system is designed.
You interpret incorrectly. It states IF the spouse lives in Canada and IF you are applying inland, you must live together.
