Family Class Immigration

The immigration policy of Canada gives high importance to keeping families together. The country has several family immigration programs that help Canadian citizens/permanent residents bring their close family members to Canada. Under specific immigration categories, the spouse of the applicant may also work in Canada on an open work permit.

Immigration & Visa so far

Three types of family members can be sponsored under the Family Class Immigration program of Canada:

  • Spouse or common-law partner
  • Dependent children (Must be below the age of 22 years. They must not be married or in a common-law relationship)
  • Parents and grandparents

If you wish to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada but not eligible to sponsor them for permanent residence, you may opt for Canada Super Visa, which is a multiple re-entry visa, and its validity is for up to 10 years.

Sponsorship facts to know in Canada

You can sponsor your spouse–married, common-law or conjugal partners–for permanent residence in Canada. While assessing your application for spousal sponsorship, the immigration officials of Canada primarily focus on finding out whether your relationship with your spouse is genuine. A genuine relationship will show a “logical progression of how the couple meets and gets married,” they believe.

Sponsoring a spouse or a child

Do you wish to bring your wife/husband to Canada? Don’t worry! ImmiLaw Immigration is here to help you bring your family to Canada permanently! It is not our expertise alone that guarantees that you can bring your family to Canada, but also the fact that Canada, as a country, gives the highest priority to family unification. That is exactly the reason why spousal sponsorship remains to be one of the fastest pathways for permanent residence in Canada. Moreover, sponsoring a spouse does not involve meeting the minimum financial requirement.

Sponsoring Your Parents and Grandparents

Canadian citizens and permanent residents who meet certain eligibility criteria can sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residence in Canada. The country considers family reunification as a high priority, which explains the fact that family immigration is the second largest category of Canada immigration, after economic immigration.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Family Class Immigration Program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor eligible family members to become permanent residents of Canada. The program is designed to help families reunite and live together in Canada.

To sponsor a family member, the sponsor must usually be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, be at least 18 years old, and agree to financially support the sponsored relative after they arrive in Canada.

Under the Family Class program, eligible relatives that can be sponsored typically include:

  • Spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner
  • Dependent children
  • Parents and grandparents
  • In some cases, orphaned siblings, nieces, nephews, or grandchildren.

Sponsors must sign a sponsorship agreement promising to provide financial support for the sponsored family member’s basic needs, such as food, clothing, and housing. The length of financial responsibility depends on the type of relationship being sponsored.

Processing times vary depending on the type of sponsorship, the applicant’s country of residence, and the number of applications received. In many cases, family sponsorship applications can take several months to over a year to process.

Yes, a family sponsorship application may be refused if the sponsor or applicant does not meet eligibility requirements, provides incomplete documents, or fails medical, security, or background checks during the immigration process.
