The Sponsorship Evaluation tool is a valuable resource that aims to help individuals assess their eligibility for spousal sponsorship and family sponsorship for permanent residence in Canada. By utilizing this tool, you can conveniently determine whether you meet the necessary criteria to sponsor a spouse or if you qualify as an applicant to be sponsored.

These results can help you understand your potential to proceed with the sponsorship process or identify any areas that may require attention or further action.

It is advisable to seek professional advice, such as consulting with an immigration lawyer or a licensed immigration consultant, for personalized guidance and assistance in navigating the complex immigration process.
By utilizing the Sponsorship Evaluation tool, you can gain valuable insights into your eligibility for spousal sponsorship and family sponsorship, empowering you to make informed decisions and take appropriate steps towards achieving your immigration goals in Canada.
