Family Sponsorships

FAMILY SPONSORSHIPS: 

The family class category of Canadian immigration allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents (PRs) to sponsor specified family members, such as a spouse, dependent children, conjugal partners, common-law partners, or parents and grandparents for permanent residence. One of the objectives of the Canadian immigration Act is to facilitate family reunification. The spousal relationship must be genuine and not entered into for the sole purpose of acquiring immigration status; otherwise, the application will be refused. When you agree to sponsor, you sign an undertaking agreement for three (3) years, agreeing to provide financial support for basic needs of your sponsored family members. The length of sponsorship undertaking for the person you sponsored varies from three (3) to twenty (20) years, depending on the relationship to the sponsor. For parents and grandparents, there is also the super visa program. You cannot sponsor if you are under 18 years old, temporary resident, under a removal order, and convicted of a violent offence inside or outside of Canada.
