Who is Eligible for Family Immigration to Canada?

Families in Canada can settle through family sponsorship. In fact, the Canadian government prioritizes processing sponsorship applications because it favors keeping families together. There are numerous ways for family members who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a relative who is currently living abroad to immigrate to Canada permanently.

The Canadian family member may sponsor:

His or her spouse

Common-law partner

Conjugal partner

Dependent child

Adopted children

Parents

Grandparents

Canada family sponsorship process:

You can sponsor some members of your family to immigrate to Canada as permanent residents if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and are at least 18 years old. You are able to live, study, and work in Canada if you are granted permanent residence status. You must provide financial support for a relative who you are sponsoring to immigrate to Canada as a permanent resident once they get there.

You will receive an Acknowledgment of Receipt, or AOR, once the IRCC has accepted your PR immigration application. Your application file has been created, according to this AOR. An "AOR date"—the day your six months of projected processing time starts—may also be used to refer to you.

Requirements to be sponsor:

You must be 18 years of age or older.

You and the sponsored relative must sign a sponsorship agreement that commits you to provide financial support for your relative, if necessary. This agreement also says the person becoming a permanent resident will make every effort to support her or himself.

You must provide financial support for a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner for three years from the date they become a permanent resident.

You must provide financial support for a dependent child for 10 years, or until the child turns 25, whichever comes first.

Sponsoring Your Spouse

One division of the Family Class of immigration is the Spousal Sponsorship programme. A spouse or common-law partner may be sponsored for permanent residence in Canada under this programme by a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) must approve both the Canadian citizen or permanent resident (also known as the "sponsor") and the foreign national (also known as the "sponsored person"). The sponsor and the sponsored person must demonstrate that their relationship fits into one of three categories in order to be granted a visa through this immigration programme: Spouse Common- law Partner Conjugal Partner Canada does recognize same-sex couples to be eligible for spousal sponsorship. Inland sponsorship is when the couple is together in Canada and the foreign spouse/common-law partner has temporary status in Canada, either as a worker, student, or visitor. An Outland application is generally pursued when the sponsored partner is living outside of Canada.

Sponsoring your Child

Both biological and adoptive dependent children may be sponsored to become permanent residents of Canada and dwell with their parent(s). A division of the Family Class of immigration is the child sponsorship programme. The sponsor and the sponsored person must demonstrate their familial ties in order to be granted a visa through this immigration programme. Before the adoption is finalised, people whose cases are in the final stages of processing may start supporting their child.

The Most Common FAQs about Canada Family Sponsorship

What if my application for sponsorship is refused?

If your request for sponsorship is denied, you have 30 days after the rejection to file an appeal with the Immigration Adjudication Division (IAD). IAD appeals are time-consuming, expensive, and not always successful. If your case was rejected, you should speak with a lawyer right away to make sure your appeal is submitted before the deadline.

What Does “Essential Needs” Mean?

When agreeing to provide for a family member’s “essential needs”, the sponsor must take care of basic requirements of everyday living (eg. food, clothing, shelter), and health needs not covered by public health services (eg. dental and eye care).

How Long With The Sponsorship Application Process Take?

This will depend on to which Canadian Immigration Visa Office the application was forwarded, and the type of family member sponsored. Spouses, common-law partners and dependent children are priorities, and can take about a month, whereas parents and grandparents can take more than three years.
