Family Sponsor Ship
If you are a citizen or permanent resident of Canada and have family members who want to immigrate to Canada, you might be able to assist them in doing so. One of the cornerstones of the Canadian immigration system is still family reunion.
By allowing adults who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a relative for immigration, the Family Class Sponsorship Program helps to reconnect families.
The applicant for sponsorship must fit the criteria to be eligible.
- Wife, common-law partner, or sexual partner
- dependent child
- Parent\sGrandparent
Unmarried, under-18-year-old sibling, nephew, niece, or grandchild whose parents have passed away. Except in cases when they are temporarily residing legally in Canada, such as with a work or study permit, the individual being sponsored must reside outside of Canada. Anyone may sponsor.
An adult Canadian citizen or permanent resident who is at least 18 years old must serve as the sponsor. A sponsor must live in Canada, unless they are a Canadian citizen who is currently residing overseas and intends to move here when the sponsored person arrives.
A person is not eligible to sponsor if they:
- are imprisoned
- Are under a restraining order Are filing for bankruptcy
- receiving government social aid (except for disability)
- Have been found guilty of (or attempted/threatened to commit) a crime that involved violence or sexual assault or that injured a family member
