Yes. Canada is one of the few countries which recognizes same-sex relationships for immigration purposes. As such same-sex partnerships are considered under the same criteria as common-law (heterosexual) relationships.

Points Test: What if I don’t have enough points but my Spouse/Partner does?
As spouses or common-law partners are eligible to accompany approved Skilled Workers, a couple may apply under that Spouse or Partner who attains the “pass mark”.
Points Test: What if I don’t have enough points?
If your score is lower than the “pass mark” you are not likely to qualify to immigrate to Canada as a Skilled Worker. While Citizenship & Immigration Canada (“CIC”) recommends that you do not apply if you have not accrued sufficient “points”, you can still apply if you believe certain other factors would show that you are able to establish yourself in Canada and support your dependents. The immigration lawyer assigned to your file can discuss these options with you during your FREE CONSULTATION.
Points Test: What if I pass?
If your mark is the same, or higher, than the “pass mark”, then you may qualify to immigrate to Canada as a “skilled worker”. Your application will be reviewed for security verifications and put “in-line” with other comparable Skilled-Worker applications.
Points Test: How is it scored?
The values assigned each of the six selection criteria total 100 points. However, as of September 18, 2003, the “pass mark” is 67.
