Overview
Desire to meet your loved ones living in Canada can get clouded when your Spouse Visa gets rejected. Canada Sponsorship Spouse Visa allows applicants to join their family living in Canada by providing proof of a genuine relationship, an invitation letter, and sponsorship from a Canadian spouse or PR holder.
Canada Sponsorship Spouse Visa Process
The process is two-step:
- The spouse/partner who is a Canadian permanent resident or Canadian citizen must first apply to become a sponsor.
- Once sponsorship is approved, the abroad spouse/partner must apply for Canada PR based on spousal sponsorship.
Immigration specialists evaluate the genuineness of the relationship during processing.
When Can a Spouse Visa Get Rejected?
A Spouse Visa can be rejected due to:
- Inconsistencies in documents
- Unacceptable or non-genuine relationships
- Insufficient duration of the relationship
Steps After Spouse Visa Rejection
Applicants have 30 days to appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD). Hearings may occur in person or via video. You may support your appeal by:
- Submitting new evidence that strengthens your case
- Acting as a witness on your own behalf
- Bringing one supporting witness
- Providing a legal presentation
If successful, the IAD decision leads to reevaluation of the visa application.
Hiring a professional immigration firm like XIPHIAS Immigration ensures guidance at every stage and increases the chance of a favorable outcome.

FAQs
1) Can I appeal a refused Canada Spouse Sponsorship?
Yes. Most outside-Canada spousal sponsorship refusals can be appealed to the IAD within 30 days. Prepare new evidence, affidavits, and relationship proofs to strengthen your appeal.
2) What documents help after a spousal sponsorship rejection?
Relationship evidence (marriage certificates, communication logs, joint finances, photos, travel history), updated forms, police clearances/medical, and letters of support. Consistency across all documents is critical.
3) If my appeal fails, can I reapply?
Yes. You can reapply with stronger documentation addressing the refusal reasons. Some couples consider switching to an in-Canada application (if eligible) to maintain status while the new Canada PR application is processed.
