Family sponsorship is a program that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their family members to come to Canada and become permanent residents themselves. The program is designed to reunite families and keep them together in Canada.
There are several categories of family members that can be sponsored, including spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. To be eligible to sponsor a family member, you must meet certain requirements, such as being at least 18 years old, being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, and having sufficient income to support the sponsored family member.
Once you’ve determined that you’re eligible to sponsor a family member, you’ll need to submit a sponsorship application to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). The application process involves several steps, including submitting forms and supporting documents, undergoing a background check, and providing biometric information.
Once your sponsorship application is approved, your family member will need to apply for permanent residency. The application process will depend on the category of family member being sponsored, but in general, the process involves submitting forms and supporting documents, undergoing a medical exam, and providing biometric information.
