Family Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and/or permanent residents who meet general eligibility requirements can sponsor certain orphaned relatives or family members (e.g. brother, sister, nephew, niece, grandchild). It is possible only if the relatives meet following requirements:

They are related to you by blood or adoption.
Both their mother and father passed away.
They are under 18 years of age.
They are single (not married or in a common-law or conjugal relationship).

Family sponsorship would not be an option if one of the parents is still alive, unknown, abandoned a child, in jail or detained, or if someone else is taking care of them while one or both parents are alive.

Other Close Relative Sponsorship

Under this program any person at least 18 years old that has a Canadian Citizenship or Permanent Residency can sponsor their dependent and adopted children to join them in Canada.

Sponsored Child Eligibility

The child must be under 22 years old and not have a spouse or common-law partner.
Over 22 Years Old: If the child is 22 or older, they must have been continuously studying since before the age of 22, and they have been financially dependent on their parents due to their studies. This includes students who are pursuing their post-secondary education.
Children who are 22 years old or older and have depended substantially on the financial support of their parents since before turning 22 due to a physical or mental condition also qualify as dependent.
The child must either be the biological child of the sponsor (and not adopted by someone else) or the adopted child of the sponsor.

Dependent Child Sponsorship

Canadian Citizens and/or Permanent Residents may sponsor their parents and grandparents to Canada as a Permanent Resident through this program.

Eligibility:

Be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident.
Be 18 years of age or older.
Meet the minimum income requirements. Income of married couples can be included to calculate the income requirements.
The sponsor and the sponsored person must sign a sponsorship agreement that commits the sponsor to provide financial support for the sponsored persons, if necessary. This agreement also states that the person becoming a permanent resident will make every effort to support himself or herself. Dependent children under age 22 do not have to sign this agreement.
The sponsor must promise to provide financial support for the sponsored relative for a period of 20 years. This time begins on the date the sponsored relative becomes a permanent resident.

Parent & Grandparent Sponsorship

Spousal Sponsorship Program is one of the programs under the Family Class Immigration category. It has two categories depending on your location – Inland and Outland Sponsorship. As the name indicates, the program outline is as described:

Inland Sponsorship
Eligibility: A Canadian citizen or permanent resident & residing in Canada along with spouse or common-law partner

Benefits: Your spouse or common-law partner may apply for an open work permit while the sponsorship application is in process.

Refusal: In case of a refusal, an Inland application cannot be appealed. It is advisable to reapply with stronger documentation than incur much higher expenses by opting for a judicial review.

Outland Sponsorship
Eligibility: A Canadian citizen along with the sponsored spouse currently residing in or out of Canada OR a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada, while your spouse or common-law partner is outside Canada.

Benefits: Your spouse may apply for a visitor visa while your sponsorship is in process.

Refusal: In case of a refusal in an outland sponsorship application, the same can be appealed at the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)
