Sponsorship of a Family Member
How can I help?
I can help you with preparing and submitting your sponsorship application and guide you through the process until your family member arrives in Canada.
Spouse:
Sponsor your spouse to become a permanent resident of Canada. Prove your genuine marriage and your ability to support your spouse for three years. Sign an undertaking to repay any social assistance they may receive.
Common-law partner:
Common-law partner: Sponsor your common-law partner to become a permanent resident of Canada. Prove your one-year cohabitation and your ability to support your partner for three years. Sign an undertaking to repay any social assistance they may receive.
Conjugal partner:
Sponsor your conjugal partner to become a permanent resident of Canada. Prove your marriage-like relationship and your inability to live together for one year due to reasons beyond your control. Show your ability to support your partner for three years. Sign an undertaking to repay any social assistance they may receive.
Parents:
Sponsor your parents to become permanent residents of Canada. Show that you can support them financially and emotionally for 20 years. Sign an undertaking to repay any social assistance they may receive.
Grandparents:
Sponsor your grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada. Show that you can support them financially and emotionally for 20 years. Sign an undertaking to repay any social assistance they may receive.
Children:
Sponsor your dependent children or adopted children to become permanent residents of Canada. You can sponsor if they are under 22 years of age and if they do not have a spouse or common-law partner. If they are older then 22 years of age it may be possible so long as they meet the following conditions: They have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22 AND they are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition. You will have to sign an undertaking to be financially responsible for the child for a period of 10 years or the age of 25 whichever comes first.
