Long-distance relationships can be challenging—especially while waiting for spousal sponsorship approval. The Spousal Visitor Visa offers a temporary solution, helping Canadian citizens and permanent residents keep their spouses or partners with them in Canada as they prepare or await the outcome of a sponsorship application.

Whether you’re not yet eligible to sponsor or are applying through the Outland Sponsorship stream, this visa keeps you connected and helps build your life together in Canada.

Why Apply for a Spousal Visitor Visa?

A Visitor Visa for spouses and partners enables your loved one to:

1. Stay in Canada legally on a temporary basis

2. Avoid long periods of separation

3. Spend time together while preparing your Family Class Sponsorship

4. Transition to Inland Sponsorship (if eligibility is met)

5. Apply for an Open Work Permit after sponsorship is submitted

This option is ideal for couples who value togetherness during the immigration journey.

How to Strengthen Your Application

Spousal Visitor Visa applications undergo careful review. Boost your chances by including:

1. Proof of a genuine relationship (photos, chats, shared finances)

2. A clear letter of explanation about your visit and future plans

3. Financial support documentation

4. Ties to the home country (job, assets, family) to show temporary intent

Being transparent helps IRCC understand your intent and builds application trust.

Transitioning to Inland Sponsorship + Open Work Permit

If your spouse is already in Canada on a Visitor Visa, they may:

1. Apply for Inland Sponsorship and remain in Canada legally

2. Apply for an Open Work Permit once the sponsorship application is submitted
   This allows couples to live and work together in Canada during PR processing.
