How Emily and Daniel Won Their Spousal Sponsorship Case in Canada
When Emily first met Daniel, she wasn’t thinking about immigration paperwork or Canadian permanent residency. She was thinking about how he made her laugh so hard her coffee nearly spilled in a small café in Buenos Aires.
Emily, a Canadian citizen from Toronto, had been working remotely while traveling through South America. Daniel, a local architect, had been waiting for his order when they struck up a conversation about travel, food, and, unexpectedly, hockey. By the time Emily’s visitor visa in Argentina was expiring, they knew this was more than a holiday romance.
After months of long-distance video calls and multiple visits, Daniel came to Toronto on a temporary resident visa. He met Emily’s family, explored the city, and fell in love with the idea of building a future in Canada. They married at Toronto City Hall on a snowy December afternoon, but they knew that making Canada their permanent home together would require navigating the spousal sponsorship process.
The Challenge of Sponsoring a Spouse in Canada
Like many couples, Emily thought she could handle the Canadian immigration application herself. She downloaded the sponsorship forms from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and started collecting documents. Very quickly, she felt overwhelmed. The instructions were complex, the eligibility requirements for spousal sponsorship were strict, and she wasn’t sure how to prove the genuineness of their relationship when they had lived apart for most of it.
“I was terrified of making a mistake that could delay our application for years,” Emily recalls.
That’s when a friend recommended Omulique Lawyers, a Toronto immigration law firm known for helping clients succeed in family sponsorship applications and other permanent residence programs.
How Omulique Lawyers Helped
During a free consultation, the Omulique Lawyers team explained the spousal sponsorship process step-by-step. They confirmed Emily met the eligibility requirements as a sponsor, reviewed her relationship history with Daniel, and identified potential weaknesses in the application.
The firm:
Created a complete relationship timeline for the application
Addressed long-distance periods by including strong supporting evidence
Prepared detailed statutory declarations from friends and family confirming the relationship’s authenticity
Included travel records, photos, and communication history to satisfy IRCC’s requirements for proof of a genuine relationship
Completed all sponsorship and permanent residence forms with 100% accuracy to avoid delays or refusals
Omulique Lawyers also provided regular updates and acted as the primary point of contact with IRCC, ensuring the process was smooth and stress-free.
The Result – Canadian Permanent Residency Approved
Eight months after submitting their spousal sponsorship application, Emily received the email she had been waiting for: Daniel’s permanent resident status in Canada had been approved.
“Without Omulique Lawyers, I don’t know how long we’d still be apart,” she says. “They didn’t just handle the paperwork - they gave us peace of mind.”
Today, Daniel works at an architecture firm in Toronto, and Emily and Daniel are finally living the life they dreamed of when they first met abroad.
