Implications for Sponsorship – Permanent Resident Status Granted

Once completed, the sponsorship agreement is legally binding whether you remain together, separate, or divorce. This means that if you are already a permanent resident and you have separated or divorced from your husband, your sponsorship status will not change and your ex-husband still has a legal obligation for the three years of the sponsorship agreement to financially support you and any children you have together.

Legally, your husband cannot use sponsorship as a way to keep you in the marriage if you do not want the marriage to continue.
