Family Sponsorship Immigration Programs

Under the Family Sponsorship programs, citizens and permanent residents can sponsor spouses, parents, grandparents and dependent children

When your family member also becomes a permanent resident, they can live, study and work in Canada. Family Sponsorship Immigration Programs may help your relatives to get their Canadian Permanent Residency.

There are two different processes for sponsoring your family under the Family Class. One process is used for sponsoring your spouse, conjugal or common-law partner and/or dependent children. Another process is used to sponsor eligible relatives, such as parents, grandparents, siblings and other extended family members.

Important:

You can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

If you sponsor a relative to come to Canada as a permanent resident, you must make every reasonable effort to provide for your own essential needs and those of your relative. You are responsible for supporting your relative financially when he or she arrives. As a sponsor, you must make sure your spouse or relative does not need to seek social assistance from the government.

You may not be eligible to sponsor a relative if you:

Failed to provide the financial support you agreed to when you signed a sponsorship agreement to sponsor another relative in the past
Defaulted on a court-ordered support order, such as alimony or child support
Received government financial assistance for reasons other than a disability
Were convicted of a violent criminal offence, any offence against a relative or any sexual offence—depending on circumstances, such as the nature of the offence, how long ago it occurred and whether a record suspension (formerly called “pardons” in Canada), was issued
Defaulted on an immigration loan—late or missed payment
Are in prison or
Have declared bankruptcy and have not been released from it yet.

Sponsoring a spouse, partner or dependent child

How to sponsor a spouse, partner or dependent child

If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may sponsor your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner, or dependent children to come to Canada as permanent residents. Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recognizes marriage from any foreign jurisdiction, which means that if you got married in your home country you can submit your translated marriage certificate for Canadian sponsorship immigration application. Actually, while in Canada, people can get married regardless of their residency status.
