​A spousal visa for Canada is a type of immigration program that allows a foreign spouse or common-law partner of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to live in Canada with their sponsor. The spousal visa is designed to facilitate family reunification and allows eligible spouses or partners to apply for permanent residency in Canada. The sponsor must meet certain requirements, such as demonstrating the ability to financially support their spouse or partner, and the applicant must meet eligibility criteria, including proving the genuineness of their relationship. Once approved, the spousal visa grants the foreign spouse or partner the right to live, work, and study in Canada, and eventually apply for Canadian citizenship.
