CanadaCurrentWhat the rules engine found for Carlos’s made-up answers: the paths it examined, what each one needs, and what it couldn’t decide.
Our lawyers approve the rules an assessment is released on. Routine ones are released at once; anything unusual waits for a lawyer first, and so does anything resting on a rule a lawyer has not approved yet. Here is what would happen to this one.
A real applicant with these answers would wait for a lawyer to review the assessment before seeing it, because:
This made-up sample wasn’t sent to a lawyer as an assessment: the hold shows what would happen for a real applicant.
Carlos’s sample report says: “You’re aiming for: Spouse or partner sponsorship (join or sponsor family in Canada). We checked your answers against 10 requirements for your goal. Here’s what we found: 8 appear to be met and 2 need a lawyer to look closer.”
From what you told us, 8 of 8 requirements checked appear to be met. A lawyer needs to look closer at: Relationship must be genuine and not entered primarily for immigration; Canadian citizen sponsor living outside Canada: must live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident.
Meeting the entry requirements isn’t the same as being chosen. The sample keeps apart what the law requires, how a program ranks people, what an officer decides, and what the application itself needs. Every requirement the report checked is in one of the four.
What the law and the program’s rules ask of this person before they can apply.
How the person would rank against other candidates, where the program ranks them at all.
This program doesn’t rank applicants against each other, so there is no score to beat.
What an officer weighs and decides beyond the checklist.
How to apply, what to file and what it costs: not whether the person qualifies, but what the application needs.

Key issue: Relationship must be genuine and not entered primarily for immigration
From what you told us, 8 of 8 requirements checked appear to be met. A lawyer needs to look closer at: Relationship must be genuine and not entered primarily for immigration; Canadian citizen sponsor living outside Canada: must live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident.
2 need a lawyer to look closer.
No supported deadline was saved with this assessment. Add your document dates to identify relevant expiry dates.
An officer decides whether a relationship is genuine and not mainly for immigration, so a lawyer must review your relationship history and evidence to identify any risk factors.
View next stepBecause the sponsor lives outside Canada, this sponsorship is possible only if the sponsor is a Canadian citizen (a permanent resident living outside Canada cannot sponsor) who will be living in Canada by the time the person being sponsored becomes a permanent resident. IRCC asks for proof of this with the application, an officer must be satisfied that the sponsor will return to live in Canada, and the sponsor must still meet this condition when the person becomes a permanent resident. A lawyer will review the sponsor's plans and evidence for moving back to Canada, and their timing.
View next stepIRCC's document checklists for a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner (IMM 5533, IMM 5589, IMM 5629) ask a Canadian citizen sponsor who lives outside Canada for proof that they will live in Canada with the person being sponsored (and that person's dependent children, if any) once they become permanent residents. The checklists do not name specific documents, so gather records of the concrete steps taken to move back. The sponsor also completes the residency declaration in the sponsorship form (IMM 1344), confirming the province or territory where they plan to live.

Eligibility, selection, feasibility and professional judgment are separate findings.
Here are the paths your answers brought into view, with what supports each one and what still needs attention.
From what you told us, 8 of 8 requirements checked appear to be met. A lawyer needs to look closer at: Relationship must be genuine and not entered primarily for immigration; Canadian citizen sponsor living outside Canada: must live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident.
Let’s take each path in four parts: can you apply, how are people chosen, what would you need, and what needs human judgment? Meeting one part doesn’t settle the others.
The requirements that decide whether this pathway is open to you.
Your answers suggest 6 of 6 requirements checked appear to be met.
Meeting the entry requirements is one step. It is not an invitation or an approval.
The rules we hold don’t give us a score or quota to compare you against here. The decision-maker can still choose among people who meet the entry requirements.

We checked each requirement against your answers. Here’s what we found, with the government page beside it.

IRCC's document checklists for a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner (IMM 5533, IMM 5589, IMM 5629) ask a Canadian citizen sponsor who lives outside Canada for proof that they will live in Canada with the person being sponsored (and that person's dependent children, if any) once they become permanent residents. The checklists do not name specific documents, so gather records of the concrete steps taken to move back. The sponsor also completes the residency declaration in the sponsorship form (IMM 1344), confirming the province or territory where they plan to live.
Application stage: Confirm the personalized checklist Confirm the application stage against this program’s current personalized document checklist.
Official source: Document Checklist: Spouse (Including Dependent Children) [IMM 5533] (09-2022)
Include your marriage certificate or other proof that your marriage was legally registered with the government where it took place. A marriage licence, or a record of solemnization obtained in Canada, is not accepted. Check IRCC's country-specific requirements for the country where you married. For any document that is not in English or French, include a certified copy of the original, an English or French translation and, unless the translator is a Canadian certified translator (a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial organization of translators and interpreters in Canada), the translator's affidavit sworn before a notary public or another person authorized to administer oaths. Neither of you, nor a family member of the person being sponsored, may do the translation.
Application stage: Confirm the personalized checklist Confirm the application stage against this program’s current personalized document checklist.
IRCC's spouse checklist (IMM 5533) asks for proof that the relationship is genuine. If you live together, include documents from at least 2 of these: joint ownership of your home; a rental agreement naming you both; joint utility, credit card or bank accounts; vehicle insurance showing you both at the same address; government-issued documents showing the same address; or other documents showing the same address. If you don't live together, include proof of contact (up to 10 pages, with a certified English or French translation of any that are in another language) and proof of the sponsor's visits, or, if the sponsor has not visited, an explanation in the relationship form (IMM 5532). Include a birth certificate showing both parents for each child you have together. Unless you live together, have a child together, are both in a first marriage and have been married at least 2 years when you apply, also include up to 20 photos with a short description of each, and documents from at least 2 of: proof you are recognized as each other's spouse, financial support or shared expenses, recognition by family and friends, and past cohabitation.

Everyone in the application who is 18 or older and is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (the person being sponsored and their family members) needs a police certificate from each country other than Canada where they spent 6 or more months in a row since age 18. The certificate for the country where they live now must be issued no more than 6 months before the application is submitted; for any other country, it must be issued after the last time they lived there for 6 months or more in a row. Some countries issue a police certificate only with a request letter from IRCC, so check IRCC's instructions for each country early. For a certificate in another language, include both the certificate and an English or French translation by an accredited translator.

The person being sponsored and each family member who is not already a Canadian citizen or permanent resident need an immigration medical exam, even family members who are not coming to Canada. Wait for IRCC's instructions after the application is submitted, then get the exam within 30 days from a panel physician on IRCC's list (your own doctor can't do it). Someone already living in Canada whose immigration medical exam in the last 5 years showed low or no risk to public health or public safety may not need a new one, under a temporary public policy that runs until October 5, 2029.

Proof of the sponsor's status: a permanent resident includes a copy of their permanent resident card (both sides; an expired card is accepted), and IRCC's spouse checklist also accepts a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR or eCOPR). A Canadian citizen includes a copy of one of: a citizenship certificate or card (both sides), a citizenship card without photo issued before February 15, 1977, a Canadian birth certificate (for Quebec, only one issued by the Directeur de l'état civil du Québec), or the Canadian passport page with the passport number, dates, photo, name, and date and place of birth. A person registered under the Indian Act can include their Indian status card instead.

The sponsor must show they can support the person being sponsored, even when no minimum income applies. A sponsor working in Canada includes an original letter from their current employer stating the period of employment, salary and regular hours per week (or supporting financial documents if self-employed), and either their most recent Canada Revenue Agency Notice of Assessment showing line 15000 (Total Income) or a proof of income statement (Option C); without one of those for the most recent tax year, an explanation on a separate sheet with supporting financial documents. A sponsor not working in Canada includes other documents showing they can support the person being sponsored, with a detailed explanation, on a separate sheet, of how they plan to support themselves and that person.

Besides these documents, IRCC's spouse checklist (IMM 5533) requires the forms and fees: the sponsorship application and undertaking (IMM 1344), completed and signed by both of you; the relationship form (IMM 5532), which both of you complete and sign; the forms the person being sponsored completes online (IMM 0008, and IMM 5406 and IMM 5669 for them and each family member 18 or older who isn't a Canadian citizen or permanent resident); a single receipt for the sponsorship, application and biometric fees; one photo of the person being sponsored and of each accompanying family member; and the checklist itself. Check IRCC's country-specific requirements for any extra forms. The checklist recommends paying the right of permanent residence fee with these fees: the application isn't returned if it's paid later, but paying later may slow processing. If the sponsor will receive IRCC's letters for, or act in any way on behalf of, the person being sponsored (or any of their children 18 or older in the application), each of them must complete a Use of Representative form (IMM 5476) naming the sponsor, or the application is returned without being processed.

A practical action plan, with the reason, owner and dependencies for each step.
An officer decides whether a relationship is genuine and not mainly for immigration, so a lawyer must review your relationship history and evidence to identify any risk factors.
Because the sponsor lives outside Canada, this sponsorship is possible only if the sponsor is a Canadian citizen (a permanent resident living outside Canada cannot sponsor) who will be living in Canada by the time the person being sponsored becomes a permanent resident. IRCC asks for proof of this with the application, an officer must be satisfied that the sponsor will return to live in Canada, and the sponsor must still meet this condition when the person becomes a permanent resident. A lawyer will review the sponsor's plans and evidence for moving back to Canada, and their timing.
IRCC's document checklists for a spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner (IMM 5533, IMM 5589, IMM 5629) ask a Canadian citizen sponsor who lives outside Canada for proof that they will live in Canada with the person being sponsored (and that person's dependent children, if any) once they become permanent residents. The checklists do not name specific documents, so gather records of the concrete steps taken to move back. The sponsor also completes the residency declaration in the sponsorship form (IMM 1344), confirming the province or territory where they plan to live.
Include your marriage certificate or other proof that your marriage was legally registered with the government where it took place. A marriage licence, or a record of solemnization obtained in Canada, is not accepted. Check IRCC's country-specific requirements for the country where you married. For any document that is not in English or French, include a certified copy of the original, an English or French translation and, unless the translator is a Canadian certified translator (a member in good standing of a provincial or territorial organization of translators and interpreters in Canada), the translator's affidavit sworn before a notary public or another person authorized to administer oaths. Neither of you, nor a family member of the person being sponsored, may do the translation.
IRCC's spouse checklist (IMM 5533) asks for proof that the relationship is genuine. If you live together, include documents from at least 2 of these: joint ownership of your home; a rental agreement naming you both; joint utility, credit card or bank accounts; vehicle insurance showing you both at the same address; government-issued documents showing the same address; or other documents showing the same address. If you don't live together, include proof of contact (up to 10 pages, with a certified English or French translation of any that are in another language) and proof of the sponsor's visits, or, if the sponsor has not visited, an explanation in the relationship form (IMM 5532). Include a birth certificate showing both parents for each child you have together. Unless you live together, have a child together, are both in a first marriage and have been married at least 2 years when you apply, also include up to 20 photos with a short description of each, and documents from at least 2 of: proof you are recognized as each other's spouse, financial support or shared expenses, recognition by family and friends, and past cohabitation.

The rule versions, official sources and boundaries of this saved assessment.
The dashboard, downloadable PDF and consented advisor copy use this same saved assessment. New facts or rule changes require a new version; an earlier version stays intact.
Action ranking: Recorded status deadlines and conflicting evidence come first, followed by missing eligibility facts, applicant-controlled improvements, documents and dependent opportunities. Applicant-reported dates still need document verification. The size of a hypothetical points gain is not a probability or the sole ranking factor. Costs and completion times are not estimated without a source.
This is a starting point, not a decision. It is based on your recorded answers, before document verification. Only the competent government authority can decide an application.
We use Government of Canada and provincial or territorial government pages for immigration requirements and published figures. We calculate your estimates from your answers. Our own guides and Marketplace listings are labelled separately. We never use lawyers’, consultants’, forum or news sites as sources.
