If your spouse or common law partner is lawful student, worker, permanent resident, or citizen, you may be eligible to apply for a spouse visa. A spouse visa is a type of visa that allows the spouse to live and work in the respective country. This visa is typically issued for a specific period of time, such as two or five years, and can be renewed if the spouse continues to meet the eligibility requirements. Please note some countries such as Canada grant an Open Work Permit that needs to be extended from time to time while in case of getting married to a Permanent Resident or Citizen, the spouse gets a direct Permanent Residency (known as PR under Spousal Sponsorship).
To be eligible for a spouse visa, the applicant must typically be legally married to a citizen/permanent resident or student/worker of the country they wish to reside in. They may also need to provide evidence of their relationship, such as photographs, letters, and other documents.
In addition to meeting the eligibility requirements, the spouse visa applicant may also need to pass a medical examination, provide police clearance certificates, and demonstrate that they have sufficient funds to support themselves and any dependents while residing in the country.
Overall, obtaining a spouse visa can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it is important for applicants to carefully review the requirements and gather all necessary documents before applying.
