Sponsoring a Spouse From Cuba

Do you want to begin the process of sponsoring your Cuban spouse to Canada? This simple guide will help you to understand the basics of spousal sponsorship Canada and how it applies to your marriage to a Cuban citizen.

Marrying a Cuban Citizen

There are strict requirements set by the Cuban government on foreigners who wish to marry their citizens. These guidelines have been put in place to minimize marriages of convenience. All foreigners are required to apply for an official permission from the Cuban government to marry a citizen of Cuba.

The Cuban officials are looking for proof that, to start with, you are not married to someone else. If you have ever been married, all divorces should be finalized. You must also prove to the Cuban government that you have not committed any crimes in their country and also provide proof of your identity. Among the documents that you may need to provide during the process of getting married to a Cuban citizen are an Affidavit of Single Status and Divorce Decree.

For those who would like to relocate to Canada with the Cuban spouse, they must begin the process of filing for spousal sponsorship so that the foreigner is granted permanent residency. While the spousal sponsorship application is being processed, your Cuban spouse can apply for a visitor visa and continue living with you in Canada as you wait for a decision to be made.

To start with, the process of marrying a Cuban is not so straightforward. There are a number of documents that you will need to collect and provide the Cuban government.
