Canadian Family Sponsorship
Canada offers a number of family sponsorship programs that give Canadian citizens or permanent residents the opportunity to sponsor their family members to become Canadian permanent residents. With years of experience specializing in helping people reunite with their family members, Dastur Immigration Services will help you successfully get Canadian permanent residency through family sponsorship.
Family Sponsorship Programs in Canada
1. Spouse or Common-Law Partner Sponsorships
A Canadian permanent resident or citizen may sponsor their non-Canadian spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner under this program. Candidates in same-sex relationships can also sponsor their partner, but the sponsorships can be done through the Outland or Inland Sponsorship.
2. Parents and Grandparents Sponsorships
This program is designed to help Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency in Canada. The person who is sponsoring must provide financial support to them and make sure the parents/grandparents don’t need social assistance from the government.
