Love knows no boundaries. The boundaries referred to in this statement are non-other than those caused by partitions or borders of countries. For this reason, people who find soul mates from borders far beyond their home, feel the need to bring them closer. Thanks to common law sponsorship Canada, they are able to do this.

Therefore, an individual from city of British Columbia, CAN may apply to the government of Canada to be allowed to sponsor a common law partner. This individual must be of eighteen years of age or more, and prove beyond reasonable doubt they have been living with the partner for a period of not less than twelve months consecutively in a marriage like relationship.

These two people should be able to show highly significant levels of being attached to each other for that particular time they have cohabited, being in a conjugal relationship. Not only are they supposed to prove a physical relationship, but also a mutually independent one. If there exists a period of time that they were not together physically, it has to be as short as possible.

There are several of ways of proving existence of a spousal relationship. The couple might produce documents showing sharing of bills for utilities such as electricity, gas or telephone, rental receipts, credit cards and bank accounts as well as statutory declarations of a common law partnership. They can also use people close to them, for example neighbors, as witnesses to their union.

The sponsored mate can be either female or male not minding the sex of the sponsor. The person can also decide to stop the common law relationship if he or she does not want it anymore. He or she can also be of a similar citizenship or a different one having not yet attained permanent citizenship. Upon accepting his responsibilities, the sponsor on the other hand signs an undertaking contract with the ministry of citizenship and immigration.

The contract of undertaking is a promise that the sponsor will give financial help for all basic requirements of their common law spouse. These basic necessities are, clothing, shelter, food, personal needs, utilities, fuel, household supplies as well as medical care. They should also give proof of enough income to cater for all the basic requirements, including those of children.

The promise of support is also unconditional. By being unconditional it means that, even if the financial strength of the sponsor weakens, the contract will still remain in effect. Even though the conjugal partners have the rights to walk out of the relationship, separation will not remove the undertaking from effect. It is therefore by all means a very binding document that has consequences when one defaults.

One can be denied permission to sponsor under common law sponsorship in the city British Columbia, CAN for various reasons. Among many other reasons, the most common ones are if the person applying, has previously defaulted an undertaking, has been declared bankrupt, is going through a removal order, has been convicted of an offense that is sexual in nature or that is a violent criminal offense. An application may be denied and the fee paid for sponsorship not refunded.
