Migrate to Canada through Family Sponsorship
The Family Sponsorship programme allows eligible citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their close family members to become permanent residents of Canada. It is one of the most compassionate pathways to reunite families and build a future together.
Why Choose Family Sponsorship?
Bring Your Family Together
Canada believes in keeping families connected. Whether you’re hoping to sponsor your spouse, dependent children, parents, or other eligible relatives, this programme offers a clear route to make that happen.
Pathway to Permanent Residency
Those sponsored through this stream are granted permanent resident status, allowing them to access Canada's public healthcare, education, and employment benefits.
Faster Processing for Spousal and Dependent Child Sponsorships
Spousal and dependent child applications are often prioritised, helping reduce the time families spend apart.
Who Can Be Sponsored?
As a sponsor, you may be eligible to bring the following family members to Canada:
- Spouse or Common-Law Partner
- Dependent Children (biological or adopted)
- Parents and Grandparents
- Other Eligible Relatives (in special circumstances, such as if you have no immediate family living in Canada)
Each relationship type has specific requirements regarding documentation and proof of relationship.
Sponsor Eligibility Criteria
To sponsor a family member, you must:
Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
Be 18 years or older
Live in Canada, or intend to return once your family arrives (if you are a citizen living abroad)
Show that you can financially support your sponsored family member and ensure they will not need to rely on public assistance
Sign an undertaking agreement to provide financial support for a specified period
Note: Income requirements do not apply when sponsoring a spouse, partner, or dependent child, but they do apply for parents or grandparents.
Documentation and Application Process
Family sponsorship involves careful preparation of your application and proof of relationship. The process typically includes:
Gathering identity and relationship documents
Proving financial ability (where applicable)
Completing both sponsorship and immigration application forms
Biometrics and medical examinations for the sponsored person
IRCC background checks and admissibility assessment
