Family Sponsorship Canada
Immigration Consultants in North York, Toronto
Family Sponsorship is a foundational immigration program that honors the importance of Family Reunification in Canada prior to the 1960’s this was the main source of migration to Canada. Although the attention has switched over to Economic based programs, this stream of migration to Canada is still very viable. To be sponsored as a family member you must be:
- A spouse, common law, or conjugal partner of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- A dependent child 22 and under (including adopted children) of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
- A parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Any relative of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident when there is no other family member residing in Canada.
All family member relationships must be proven as genuine with varying supporting documents that validate your relationship. For example a Marriage certificate alone is not sufficient to prove a marriage relationship. Give examples of other supporting documents. Photos
The first step of the process is to determine if the sponsor is eligible to sponsor the spouse, partner, or child.
