Reunite your family and live together in Canada
Family immigration allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring certain family members to Canada to live together. This program reflects Canada’s commitment to family reunification and household stability. However, the process must meet specific criteria, and thorough preparation is essential to avoid delays or refusals.
FREE & SECURE IMMIGRATION CANADA supports you in securing every step of your family immigration project.
Who can sponsor a family member to Canada?
A Canadian citizen or permanent resident, aged 18 or older, residing in Canada, and meeting the financial requirements, can sponsor certain family members.
Does sponsorship automatically guarantee permanent residence?
No. Even if a family relationship exists, each application is assessed individually by Canadian authorities according to established criteria.
How long does a family immigration application take?
Processing times vary depending on the type of sponsorship and the status of the application. However, thorough preparation helps minimize delays.
What should I do if my sponsorship application is refused?
It is essential to analyze the reasons for the refusal in order to correct any problematic elements and, if possible, submit a new, stronger application.
What is family immigration?
Family immigration is based on sponsorship, a process by which a Canadian citizen or permanent resident commits to financially supporting a family member who wishes to immigrate to Canada. This program allows eligible relatives to obtain permanent residence and settle permanently in Canada.
Applications are processed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), according to strict rules designed to ensure the financial stability and integration of sponsored individuals.
Who can be sponsored?
Family immigration primarily concerns the following family members, subject to meeting the eligibility requirements. Each category has its own requirements and processing times.
Spousal or Partner Sponsorship
Spousal, common-law, or conjugal partner sponsorship allows couples to live together in Canada. The relationship must be genuine and well-documented. Thorough preparation of the application is essential to demonstrate the legitimacy of the relationship and avoid any suspicion of fraud.
Dependent Child Sponsorship
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their dependent children to help them obtain permanent residency and access Canadian education and services. This process promotes stability and family unity.
Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship
Canada allows the sponsorship of parents and grandparents, subject to strict financial criteria. Due to the high number of applications, this program is often subject to quotas and specific application periods.
The Super Visa (Parents and Grandparents)
The Super Visa is an alternative to permanent sponsorship. It allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for extended periods while maintaining temporary status. This option is often preferred by families seeking a faster solution.
Requirements to Be a Sponsor
To sponsor a family member, the sponsor must, among other things:
- be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident,
- reside in Canada,
- demonstrate sufficient financial capacity,
- commit to supporting the sponsored person for a specified period.
Failure to meet these requirements may result in the application being refused.
