To avail this visa the applicant and the sponsor both have to demonstrate the relationship with each other which should come under these relationships:
- Spouse
- Common law partner
- Conjugal partner
It becomes mandatory for both parties (the sponsor and the applicant) to be approved by citizenship and immigration of Canada (CIC) in order to get spouse visa.
