FAMILY SPONSORSHIP

Family Sponsorship:  

 

Generally there are two types of family sponsorship:

1. Parents or grandparents sponsorship

2. Spouse or common-law partner sponsorship

 

​

1. Sponsoring your parents and/or grandparents

 

If you are citizens and permanent residents of Canada, you can sponsor your parents and grandparents to come to Canada. 

​

Process:

Step 1: Determine your eligibilities to be a sponsor. And submit an interest to sponsor form.

(This form is available by IRCC announcement.)

​

Step 2: IRCC reviews all submissions and randomly select you to apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents. It is like a lottery selection.

(IRCC posts the invitation status on the site)

 

Step 3: Submit your application by the deadline.

​

​

Note) Super Visa:

Please note that there may be a Super Visa option for some family if sponsorship is not available. A Super Visa is a type of visitor visa which allows parents or grandparents to visit Canada for up to two years at a time. You may extent one time.

 

 

2. Sponsoring your spouse or common-law partner

 

If you are citizens and permanent residents of Canada, you can sponsor your spouse or common-law partner to come to Canada.
