Canadian Passport Support

Description

You do not need to send your passport if it has expired. As your Canadian Passport has been expired for over 1 year, it cannot be submitted as ‘documents to support your identity’. The supporting ID must be valid and include your name and signature (for example; Provincial driver's license, or Provincial health care card).

No. Marriage to a Canadian citizen does not automatically qualify for Canadian citizenship. You must first sponsor your partner to live in Canada and at the same time your partner must apply for permanent residence. This can be done from Canada or from the country where she is a permanent resident. Once you spouse has been a permanently resident in Canada for 3 years or 1,095 days in a 4 year period, she can apply for Canadian citizenship. I met my Thai girlfriend on the internet and have visited her twice since we first met. Later this year we are planning to get married and for her to come and live in Canada.

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or over and you must be prepared and financially able to provide financially for your partner for 3 years. If you have defaulted on a sponsorship agreement in the past you will not be able to become a sponsor.

Yes. Even though your spouse no longer resides with you, you must continue to provide for her financially until the 3 year sponsorship agreement period is up. Even once this period is up you must continue to provide for her children until the 10 year sponsorship period is over or until they reach 25 years of age – whichever comes first.
