Canada offers the opportunity to sponsor family members. To sponsor, you must be a Canadian citizen or resident, be at least 18 years of age and meet any additional requirements.
People you can sponsor are:
– spouses
– partners (you must prove a relationship of at least 12 months)
– children under 22 (with exceptions)
– parents
– grandparents
You take financial responsibility for each of these people once they have obtained permanent residence. The liability period depends on who is sponsored and ranges from 3 to 20 years.
The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program opens once a year and limits. In the first stage, the intention to sponsor the parents/grandparents is expressed, and then a lottery takes place. Candidates selected will receive invitations to send an application for permanent residence for their parents/grandparents.
If you are not sure how to start, don’t hesitate to contact us!
