I am married and my partner is applying with me as a dependent, what do I need to consider regarding documenting the relationship?
Deploy

If you are married, attach your marriage certificate or marriage registration, it is not advisable to apply for the visa if your marriage took place within the last 3 months. It is suggested to apply after 4 months (or more) after getting married so that the document gains seniority. 

If your marriage certificate has been issued recently (less than 4 months, prior to this application), Immiland strongly recommends providing supporting documentation to reinforce the genuineness of your relationship and to avoid suspicion on the official when evaluating your marriage relationship due to the recent celebration of the marriage.

The elements that can be used as evidence to prove the genuineness of your marriage are any of the following:

  • Shared ownership of a residential property
  • Joint leases or leases in the name of both parties
  • Bills for shared or individual utility bills (one old and one new) showing the same residence address, such as:
  • Important documents for both showing the same address, such as:
  • driving licenses
  • insurance policies
  • identification documents

If you are in a common-law marriage, it is IMPERATIVE to make an affidavit on the form recognized by Canada. Immiland Canada can provide the service of declaration of common-law marriage: https://www.immilandcanada.com/declaracion-jurada/declaracion-jurada-de-union-libre. Extrajudicial declarations made in your home country DO NOT REPLACE this document.

Additionally, we recommend accompanying the declaration of free union in the Canadian forms of proof of your union. Please refer to the examples mentioned above for fresh marriages.

If you are married or cohabiting, but traveling alone, you may optionally provide us with the marriage certificate or cohabitation certificate, the reason being that this would strengthen your social roots.

How is the payment method for the Settlement service?

When the contract arrives and the client signs it, payment is made through the Stripe platform, which can be made with any credit card and also through international bank transfer.

When is it important to have a travel history?
Deploy

For applications of a temporary nature such as work, study or tourism permit applications, travel history is important because it shows a good prior immigration history. For permanent residency applications, travel history is less relevant.

Can I register without the language test?
Deploy

No, unfortunately we need proof of language proficiency even if you wish to do a pathway (see FAQ number 2 to understand the pathway). At Immiland we do not send incomplete documents because in order for a Canadian institution to reserve a place for you, you must have all the documents including the language test.

Only Lambton College in the province of Ontario has a 100% free internal test with us that you can take if you wish to enroll in this institution once we send your application.
