Overview

Spousal Sponsorship for Syrian Applicants

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their Syrian spouses or common-law partners for permanent residence through the spousal sponsorship program. The process requires proving the genuineness of your relationship, meeting income requirements (if applicable), and completing medical and security checks. Syrian applicants processed through outland sponsorship currently experience processing times of approximately 12-14 months.

Go Far Global specializes in spousal sponsorship applications involving partners from Syria. We understand the cultural context and documentation requirements specific to relationships between Canadians and Syrian nationals. No Canadian visa office inside Syria — applications via Beirut, Ankara, or Amman, which we help you navigate effectively. Our services include relationship evidence compilation, statutory declaration preparation, and comprehensive application submission.

Whether you met online, during travel, or through family connections, we help you present a compelling case that demonstrates the authenticity and depth of your relationship. Our team manages communication with IRCC, prepares you for potential interviews, and provides support throughout the process.

Syrian spousal sponsorship applications benefit from comprehensive documentation, especially when original Syrian records are unobtainable. IRCC accepts affidavits with corroborating evidence, statements from family members, and cross-border relationship evidence to establish the bona fides of the relationship.
