Partner Visas
Canadian Immigration law allows a Canadian citizen to sponsor their common-law partner, either opposite or same-sex, if you have been living together in a relationship akin to marriage for at least 12 months.
Sponsorship of a common-law partner includes their dependent children. If you are of the opposite sex and your marriage took place abroad, the marriage must be valid under the law of the country were it took place and under Canadian law.
