  Spousal sponsorship in Canada: How IRCC checks if a relationship is genuine Family reunification is one of the pillars of Canadian immigration, according to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). When you apply for family class sponsorship to bring a spouse or partner to Canada, IRCC must be satisfied that the relationship is genuine. IRCC makes these assessments because it is possible for a foreign national to pursue a non-genuine connection with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in order to get Canadian permanent resident status while the sponsor believes they are in a true and committed marriage or partnership. This can be emotionally and financially tough for a sponsor because they must sign an agreement to financially assist their partner for three years from the day they get permanent resident status, regardless of whether the relationship ends. In exchange for a fee, Canadians or permanent residents may get into a business-like agreem...

  The Canadian housing crisis has reached a tipping point this year. According to a research released in June by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), approximately 22 million housing units would be needed by 2030 to help achieve housing affordability for all Canadians.

  Two issues involving processing delays in immigration and study permit applications were recently decided by Canadian federal courts. In both cases, the applicant requested that the court issue a writ of mandamus requiring Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to process their application. A writ of mandamus is a legal remedy that requests that the courts require the IRCC - or another administrative institution - to issue a decision within a certain time frame. In one case, the lead applicant Ms XYZ, her husband, and their three children petitioned the court to grant a writ of mandamus to compel IRCC to complete their application for permanent residency, which was filed in 2016. The family applied through Express Entry and was nominated through the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). XYZ was invited to apply for permanent residence under the PNP in 2017. Ghaddar had repeatedly requested updates from IRCC since 2018, but had gotten little information abou...
