Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor certain family members to become permanent residents of Canada. As a sponsor, you commit to supporting your family member financially for a set period, and both you and the person you sponsor must meet IRCC’s requirements.
Family applications are personal and detailed — proving a genuine relationship and meeting every documentation requirement is essential.
Who it’s for
- Canadian citizens and permanent residents sponsoring a spouse or partner
- Parents sponsoring dependent children
- Sponsors of parents and grandparents, when the program is accepting applications
- Families who want an alternative such as the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa
How we help
- Eligibility review — we confirm that both sponsor and applicant meet the requirements and identify any issues early.
- Relationship evidence — guidance on documenting a genuine relationship clearly and completely.
- Application preparation — our Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC) prepare the sponsorship and permanent residence applications together.
- Ongoing support — we handle IRCC correspondence and keep you informed until a decision is made.
