Family Sponsorship

Benefits of Moving to Canada with your Family

Requirements for Family Sponsorship

he family sponsorship program facilitates a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, aged 18 or above to sponsor immediate family members to become Canadian permanent residents. 

Permanent residence in Canada allows one to freely work, study and live in the land of the maples! Spouses and partners of the sponsors can work under this program. Migration to Canada becomes a true bet only if your family becomes a part of this experience.

It is to be noted that sponsors are financially responsible for the sponsored individuals. The sponsorship agreement signed, duly mentions this prerogative. A spouse or partner, the dependent child, parents, etc. are entitled to receive financial backing for a period of different years. Thus the family is reassured by a more resilient, secure and binding jurisprudence in the Canadian realm.

The Spousal Immigration programme comes under the aegis of the Canadian Immigration policy. Spousal Sponsorship has been one the most pervasive and justified sponsorship requests made by immigrants. One needs to be a Canadian Permanent Resident or a Canadian Citizen to sponsor a spouse or partner. Applications for spousal sponsorship take around a year to get approval by the IRCC. Various types of mutual relationships are covered under this very sponsorship type, be it conjugal, common-law, Outland or Inland spousal sponsorship. There is a clause for Immigration Interview too but its quire rare. A separate application request for the spouse or the partner is not mandatory while applying for your own immigration. Due consideration should be taken thereof to the point that the selection of couples are duly higher than that of single immigrants.

The definition set out by the Canadian Immigration Policy for a Dependent Child considers an adopted or biological child, being unmarried and under the age of 22. Like other major sponsorship program, Child Sponsorship too, mandates the sponsor must be a Canadian permanent resident or citizen. Apart from the province of Quebec, a sponsor does not need to commit to a strict financial undertaking in a child sponsorship.

Family matters and it is acknowledged well in Canada! The sponsors as above must be Canadian permanent residents or citizens. In addition, the sponsor must take due cognizance to meet the Minimum Necessary Income depending upon the family size. Moreover, options apart from sponsorships are much flexible for Parents/Grandparents, as Super Visa has now been included since a great while, which offers 2 year uninterrupted, multiple-entry visa especially designed for them.
