    Once you are a Citizen, you may sponsor your Partner to become a citizen of the Maple Kingdom. While the process is underway, your partner will be allowed to stay with you. If your partner does not wish to become a Citizen, they will need to gain a Work Permit at least.

    There have however been some changes introduced just recently, but they are mostly in regards to an Interim policy regarding same sex marriage. You can find all of the information you’ll need at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/faq-spouse.html

    While I do not know your birth nationality, if your partner is from Europe, it might actually be easier for your partner to get citizenship if your partner hails from a Commonwealth country. Might be worth looking in to with Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

    • Interesting term, "Maple Kingdom." I never knew that was one of Canada's monikers. Interesting!
