配偶担保申请类别选择说明 Spousal Sponsorship Class Selection Guide

配偶担保：什么时候申请 In-Canada Class，什么时候申请 Family Class？

在递交加拿大配偶担保申请前，最重要的第一步不是准备材料，而是选对申请类别。

IRCC 为配偶担保提供两条主要通道：- Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class（境内类）- Family Class（境外类）

这两类申请并不能随意选择，而是取决于申请人目前的居住情况、身份状态以及整体规划。

一、什么时候应该申请 In-Canada Class（境内类）

如果你的配偶或同居伴侣：

- 目前与你一起居住在加拿大；

- 拥有有效的临时居民身份，或符合公共政策豁免；

则通常应选择 In-Canada Class。

该类别适合在加拿大稳定共同生活、并计划在审理期间持续居住在加拿大的申请人。需要注意的是，如果申请期间长期离境或无法返加，可能导致申请不再符合该类别要求。

二、什么时候应该申请 Family Class（境外类）

以下任何一种情况，通常更适合 Family Class：

- 被担保人居住在加拿大境外；

- 被担保人虽在加拿大，但不计划在审理期间继续居住或经常出入境；

- 申请人希望在被拒后保留上诉权；

- 担保对象为 Conjugal Partner 或 Dependent Child。

Family Class 在居住灵活性和法律上诉权方面更具优势。

三、两类申请的核心区别

In-Canada Class：

- 申请人需在加拿大居住

- 离境风险较高

- 通常无上诉权

- 某些情况下可申请开放工签

Family Class：

- 申请人可在境内或境外

- 居住与出入境更灵活

- 拥有上诉权

- 不适用开放工签

Before submitting a spousal sponsorship application, the most important step is choosing the correct application class.

IRCC offers two main pathways:

- Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class (In-Canada Class)

- Family Class

These two classes are not interchangeable and must be selected based on residency, status, and overall planning.

1. When to Apply Under the In-Canada Class

You should generally apply under the In-Canada Class if your spouse or partner:

- Lives with you in Canada; and- Has valid temporary resident status, or is exempt under public policy.

This class is suitable for couples who plan to remain together in Canada during processing.Extended absences or inability to re-enter Canada may affect eligibility.

2. When to Apply Under the Family Class

You should apply under the Family Class if:

- The sponsored person lives outside Canada;

- The sponsored person lives in Canada but does not plan to remain during processing;

- You wish to retain the right to appeal a refusal;

or- You are sponsoring a conjugal partner or dependent child.

- Limited travel flexibility

- Generally no right of appeal
