The new immigrant might have the intention of quickly splitting up and in turn sponsoring the person&#8217;s more legitimate partner, or, as in other cases, of simply sponsoring someone else for money.To keep one&#8217;s PR status, a new immigrant must spend two out of five years in Canada following the awarding of their PR. As well, when sponsoring a spouse or partner under the\u00a0Family Class category, the relationship is thoroughly investigathed for legitimacy by the Canadian immigration authorities.<br \/><em>Attorney David Cohen, and the Cohen Immigration Law, have been helping people immigrate to Canada for over 30 years, including being active with\u00a0Family Class applications.
