Sponsor your Spouse/partner, dependent child, Parents or Grandparents

The Family Class Sponsorship program is designed to facilitate the reunification of families in Canada. Canadian citizens and permanent residents have the opportunity to sponsor their family members for immigration, allowing them to join and reside with their loved ones in Canada.

Eligibility Criteria for Sponsors:

To sponsor a family member through the Family Class Sponsorship program, sponsors must meet the following criteria:

Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Residency: Sponsors must be either Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada. This ensures that sponsors have the legal status and rights necessary to support their family members’ immigration process.

Age Requirement: Sponsors must be at least 18 years old at the time of submitting the sponsorship application. This age requirement reflects the responsibility associated with sponsoring family members for immigration to Canada.

Residency in Canada: Sponsors must reside in Canada, with some exemptions applicable for certain circumstances. Residency in Canada demonstrates the sponsor’s commitment to establishing a family unit in the country.

Sponsoring Eligible Family Members: Sponsors may sponsor various eligible family members, including spouses, dependent children, adopted children, parents, and grandparents. This allows sponsors to reunite with their immediate and extended family members in Canada.

Meeting Minimum Necessary Income: Sponsors must meet the minimum necessary income requirement to demonstrate their ability to support their sponsored family members financially. This income test ensures that sponsors can provide for the basic needs of their family members upon their arrival in Canada.

The Family Class Sponsorship program offers a pathway for Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their family members to Canada and reunite with them in a welcoming and supportive environment. Whether sponsoring a spouse, children, parents, or grandparents, the Family Class Sponsorship program promotes family unity and strengthens ties across borders. Explore the opportunities offered by family reunification through sponsorship and embark on a new chapter of togetherness in Canada.
