Understanding Family Sponsorship:
Family Sponsorship is a special immigration program designed to promote family reunification in Canada. It enables Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their close family members, such as spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents, to immigrate and become permanent residents of Canada.
Who Can Sponsor?
To be eligible to sponsor a family member, you must meet the following requirements:
1. Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
2. Be at least 18 years of age.
3. Demonstrate the ability to financially support your sponsored family members and meet their basic needs.
Who Can Be Sponsored?
The Family Sponsorship program allows you to sponsor the following family members:
1. Spouse or Common-Law Partner: If you are legally married or in a common-law relationship, you can sponsor your spouse or partner to join you in Canada.
2. Dependent Children: You can sponsor your dependent children, including adopted children, to live with you in Canada.
3. Parents and Grandparents: As a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you have the opportunity to sponsor your parents and grandparents to reunite with you in Canada.
The Sponsorship Process:
The Family Sponsorship process involves several steps, including:
1. Submitting the Sponsorship Application: The sponsor must download and complete the PDF forms in the application package digitally sign, along with the person you’re sponsoring (principal applicant).
The person you’re sponsoring (principal applicant) will upload them to their online application electronically sign for the entire application, including those of any other family members
