Basics of Spousal Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouses for permanent residence in Canada. A “spouse” is someone that you are married to, i.e., a husband or a wife. To be accepted by the immigration authorities the marriage must be legal under the laws of the country it was performed in.

The "Canadian Citizenship" application can be intimidating if you are not familiar with the proper steps to follow, in order to guarantee success. The Matthew Jeffery Law firm has given me total peace of mind by helping me with preparing my application and with the process as well (by making a complex and hard to understand process, easy to understand). I was assisted each step of the way, and informed of any new updates. The whole process was made simple and if I had a question, they were ready to explain. If you are looking for a firm which is very knowledgeable of the Citizenship application process, ready to answer your questions if you have any, staff who truly care of the outcome of your application, then this is the place to go. The Matthew Jeffery law firm is a God-sent!! I am also proud and happy to be able to call myself a "Canadian" now!!

Matthew is the reason my brother became a Canadian citizen. My family is so grateful for everything he has done. He took the time to hear our story and was honest with us up front. He never gave up on us or our case, and we will never forget it.

I and my wife were in the deepest despair when we started to search legal help online for our immigration case which was declined along with some other 50+ applicants for the same reason. I did some research to see our chances and the more I learnt, the more hopeless I felt. Among many law firms I reached, Matthew's reply was the most honest and promising. Although lacking knowledge and understanding of Canadian immigration law, my instinct told me that Matthew is trustworthy and if anyone could do the impossible, it's him. The lawsuit took a couple of years. The wait was long and agonising but every now and then I received updates and further instructions from Matthew which brought me comfort. The result came victorious however the authority didn't wish to let go. There then were interview and procedural fairness letter which was frustrating and discouraging. Again I found not only legal help but also solace with Matthew, without them I might as well give up like others. Now that I'm writing this review in Canada all thanks to Matthew's expertise in immigration law but more importantly, his dedication and commitment for clients. If you are in need of any immigration or citizenship issue, Matthew's Law Firm is your best shot!

I am highly impressed by the highest level of professionalism and Knowledge demonstrated by the law office of Matthew Jeffery. I applied for Canadian Citizenship in 2014 and my file was on hold since 2016, the office of the Mp’s could not help to resolve the issue, I was only told to wait. Before I contacted the law office of Matthew Jeffery, I had wasted time and money with some other incompetent law office. I meet with Jeffery Matthew in March 2019. In April mandamus appeal was file, immediately after the appeal was filed immigration removed the hold placed on my application for almost 5 years and placed my application on “Fast track” and I became a Canadian CITIZEN In Approximately 2 months after Matthew Jeffery filled mandamus appeal . 5 year of wait was over in just two months. Matthew Jeffery law office is the Best. I strongly recommend his law office for a Timely and Positive Outcome. Mr. Matthew Jeffery YOU ARE THE BEST. Thanks.Andrew

I am US citized and my fiancée is Canadian, and Matthew and his team have assisted us with the K-1 visa for my fiancee so that she might move to the US in advance of our upcoming wedding. Throughout the process, Matthew and his team have been extremely organized, knowledgeable, and thorough. Any questions we had were always promptly answered, so we always knew what to expect during the process. The team are all truly subject matter experts on immigration law.

A big Thanks to Mr Matthew Jeffery and his team for helping me appeal my wife's spousal sponsorship that was denied by visa office in Accra. The case against my wife was very complicated, It almost felt impossible. But today I can celebrate because through him and his team I won the case before IAD.

I have a refugee status in Canada, I received Removal Order that stated that I have to leave Canada in 30 days. I called Matthew Jeffery right away asking what to do. He took over my case, we’ve sent an Appeal letter and got scheduled a meeting at Assignment Court. Matthew went there with me and convinced the IDA to consider my appeal based on humanitarian and compassionate grounds which allowed me to stay in Canada and proceed with my PR application. I really appreciate everything Matthew done for me!
