Ivan Steele Law, a Toronto immigration law firm, has released a myth-busting guide to sponsoring a spouse or common-law partner to Canada and obtaining Canadian permanent residency.
—
Canadian citizens and permanent residents looking to sponsor their spouses or partners for immigration to Canada can get information on the process in a recently released guide by Ivan Steele Law, a Toronto-based immigration and family law firm. The guide addresses common misconceptions about partner and spousal sponsorship in Canada, including whether common-law or conjugal partner sponsorship is a viable shortcut for permanent residency.
With the latest announcement, couples seeking immigration lawyer services for sponsoring a spouse have the resources needed to navigate the immigration process confidently. The Ivan Steele Law team is comprised of Ontario immigration lawyers and related professionals who are experienced in handling matters related to spousal immigration, which has been on the rise in Canada.
From January to July 2023, 50,015 people became permanent residents of Canada through the spousal sponsorship immigration program. Over the same period in 2022, 41,145 people obtained permanent residency status, a difference of 21.6%. Ontario welcomed the highest number of immigrant spouses (26,270), followed by British Columbia (8,545), Alberta (6,430), and Quebec (5,335). Subsequently, the need for lawyers specializing in immigration and family law in Ontario is high, particularly in populated regions like the Greater Toronto Area.
The Toronto immigration law firm’s guide discusses how to bring a partner to Canada as a permanent resident. Specifically, it focuses on ten common misconceptions about spousal sponsorship in Canada. These include sponsorship costs, the assumption that couples must be legally married, sponsorship as a pathway to Canadian citizenship, and whether the process is different for same-sex couples.
The Canadian immigration process can be emotionally trying, mentally draining, and even physically tiring, says a representative of Ivan Steele Law. Unlearning misinformation can help couples complete their sponsorship applications efficiently and avoid errors. Additionally, connecting with an immigration marriage lawyer can minimize stress and delays when reuniting with loved ones from overseas.
Ivan Steele Law is a Canadian immigration and family law practice based in Toronto. The firm is run by Ivan J. Steele, an Ontario-registered lawyer who graduated from the University of Ottawa law school and trained in immigration and comparative refugee law at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. Steele is focused on building warm, compassionate relationships with clients while helping them unite and stay reunited with their loved ones. His practice is limited to alternative dispute mechanisms and out-of-court settlements.
A company spokesperson said, “When it comes to love and immigration, it’s better to know the rules than to fall for the myths.” Ivan Steele understands that immigration can be challenging, continued the spokesperson, “which is why he does everything in his power to ensure that your case moves forward as seamlessly as possible.”
