Overview
Before you collect information and start filling this questionnaire, please take a few moments to understand some of
the terms that appear frequently in this questionnaire.
Sponsor: A Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident (Landed Immigrant) who wishes to provide care and
support to his or her spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, and to help his or her spouse,
common-law partner or conjugal partner become a permanent resident in Canada. If the Sponsor who is
NOT living in Canada, do NOT use this questionnaire.
Principal Applicant (AKA Sponsored Person): A spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner of a
Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident (Landed Immigrant), who wishes to become a permanent resident
in Canada by receiving support of an application for immigration to Canada from a Sponsor. If the Principal
Applicant is NOT living aboard, or is residing in Canada by the time the application will be submitted, do NOT
use this questionnaire.
Dependent Child (AKA Dependant): A child of Sponsor or Sponsored Person who is under 22 and not married
nor in a common-law relationship.* * Some other conditions may apply
Common-Law Relationship: Those who have been living together in a conjugal relationship, either of the
opposite sex or same sex, for at least one year in a continuous 12-month period that was not interrupted.
Conjugal Partner Relationship: Those who are in exceptional circumstances beyond their control that
prevent them from qualifying as common-law partners or spouses, either of the opposite sex or same sex, by
living together. A conjugal relationship is more than a physical relationship. It means both parties depend on
each other, there is some permanence to the relationship and there is the same level of commitment as a
marriage or a common-law relationship.
