Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor eligible family members for permanent residence. Reuniting families is a core objective of Canada’s immigration system.
Spousal & Partner Sponsorship
Sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner for Canadian permanent residence.
- Sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or PR, aged 18 or older
- Relationship must be genuine and not entered into primarily for immigration purposes
- Sponsor must sign a financial undertaking
- Apply inland (partner already in Canada) or outland (partner abroad)
Inland applicants may be eligible for an open work permit while the sponsorship is in progress.
How we can help: We build a complete, well-documented package that clearly presents your relationship to IRCC.
Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP)
Sponsor your parents or grandparents for permanent residence through IRCC’s annual intake process. Interested sponsors submit an online form during a designated window; IRCC randomly selects who is invited to apply.
- Full application must be submitted within 60 days of receiving an invitation
- Sponsor must meet minimum necessary income (MNI) thresholds for the past 3 years
- Financial undertaking of 20 years required
If the PGP waitlist is too long, the Super Visa (see Visitor & Super Visa) allows parents and grandparents to stay in Canada for up to 5 years at a time while you await a sponsorship opportunity.
How we can help: We prepare well-documented package and ensure your complete application is submitted on time.
Dependent Child Sponsorship
Sponsor your dependent children (under 22, unmarried) as part of a PR application or separately. Children 22 or older may qualify if they have financially depended on a parent since before age 22 due to a physical or mental condition.
How we can help: We ensure all relationship and status documentation is in order to avoid delays.
Other Family Members
In limited cases, a Canadian citizen or PR with no eligible spouse, parent, grandparent, or adult child may sponsor one orphaned relative (sibling, nephew, niece, or grandchild). Sponsoring other relatives outside this narrow exception is generally not permitted.
How we can help: We assess eligibility under the “lone relative” exception and guide you through the required documentation.
