Family Members

在现行的加拿大移民法中，只要有一人成功申请移民加拿大，其家庭成员都可以一同移民。家庭成员的定义为：配偶、同居伴侣，以及未满21周岁子女等。

配偶 Spouse

加拿大法律承认同性婚姻，但不承认一夫多妻。只要出具具有法律效应的结婚证，即可被认定为配偶关系。如果结婚证不是英文或法文的，我们可以提供翻译并进行公证。

由于目前中国不承认同性婚姻，也不会给同性夫妻发放结婚证，所以中国的同性伴侣只能前往其他国家或地区领取结婚证。比较方便的国家和地区包括：台湾、美国、加拿大、欧洲等过；大部分国家或地区允许非本国居民办理结婚登记。

同居/普通法伴侣 Common-Law Partner

Under current Canadian law, couples of the same or opposite sex who have lived together in a conjugal relationship for more than one year is considered equal to being married. This relationship is called a common-law. Similar to a legally married couple, both individuals bear obligations and responsibilities and share the same benefits. Only one cohabitee is recognized in Canada. A common-law relationship cannot be established with more than one person at the same time. If the sponsor is legally married to someone else, officers must be satisfied that the sponsor is separated from and no longer cohabits with the legal spouse.

The common-law spouse shall declare the relationship by submitting the "Statutory Declaration of Common-Law Union", Form IMM 5409, and take an oath before a Commissioner of Oaths. Proof that both parties have lived together for more than one year is also required when filing the immigration application. Supporting documents that your show residential address include but are not limited to: water and electrical bills, credit card bills, phone bills, rental contracts, third party testimonies, etc.

conjugal partners

In the case of common-law partners that are unmarried and not able to live together, as long as both parties maintain a stable marriage-like relationship, they can also reunite and immigrate. This relationship is called a Conjugal Partner in Canadian law. Note that a conjugal relationship differs from a common-law relationship.

同居伴侣在加拿大视作已经结婚，享受与配偶完全一样的待遇。事实伴侣不能和主申请人一同移民，但在另一方已经是加拿大公民或永久居民的情况下，为其申请团聚移民。
