Immigration & Visa so far

Canada offers an abundance of advantages to its citizens and permanent residents, making it an enticing destination to call home. The nation offers an exciting business environment that encourages growth and innovation. Its dedication to providing top-notch healthcare and education guarantees a happy and rewarding life. The fact that Canada offers old-age benefits further demonstrates its commitment to the security and well-being of its inhabitants. The country is a desirable alternative for people looking for a growing and stable society to live in due to the safe and secure environment, which further improves the overall quality of life.

When applying for family immigration, the requirements vary based on the relationship. In most cases, the immigration application of the lead applicant may include spouses or common-law partners. This also applies to common-law partners who have lived together for at least a year, regardless of gender. On the visa application form, the partner must submit the same information as the primary applicant, and their dependent children may also be listed.

Children under the age of 19 are considered dependents, with the exception of circumstances involving particular physical, mental, or medical disorders, in which case age restrictions do not apply. Children up to the age of 22 used to be eligible. A dependent child is defined as a person under the age of 19 who is not married or living with someone else or as a person of any age who is financially dependent on the applicant or their spouse owing to physical, mental, or health issues. The visa application may also include the dependent grandchildren of the applicant's dependent children.

You can sponsor a person who is not a member of your direct family if they are an orphan, under the age of 18, or completely reliant on you for their existence, but only in very special circumstances.

Reference and Informational Links

Family reunification has been an essential part of Canada's immigration policy. Through the family class category of the Immigration Levels Plan, Canada has regularly welcomed immigrants with the goal of boosting its economy, promoting family unity, and preserving humanitarian standards.

The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Department is responsible for overseeing the country's immigration system. The family sponsorship program falls under this, and IRCC is responsible for managing it. This includes establishing program requirements, handling family sponsorship applications, and providing temporary and permanent resident visas. ImmiLaw Global’s Canadian Immigration Lawyer is here to provide the right guidance for you.


Canadian family sponsorship consists of two essential parts:

  • Facilitating a family member's immigration to Canada for permanent residence (PR).
  • Imposing a personal obligation on you, the sponsor, to meet the sponsored person's basic requirements and support them financially.


As a sponsor, a Sponsorship Agreement is required between you and the sponsored family member, signifying your obligation to provide financial support for their fundamental requirements (such as food and shelter). Our Canadian Immigration Lawyer can help you with the process.

In some cases, such as when sponsoring a spouse, partner, or dependent child, it may be necessary to achieve or exceed the Low-Income Cut-off (LICO). The Quebec immigration ministry will evaluate your income if you are in Quebec and meet the province's sponsorship conditions.

The sponsorship undertaking is a contract that you sign that holds you legally responsible for the sponsored family member's financial obligations. You are responsible for paying back any monies received if they utilize government social support. Even if the sponsored individual acquires Canadian citizenship, a divorce or separation occurs, or financial difficulties arise, this endeavour is still in effect.

The sponsored family member's age and the length of the project determine how long it will last. Both sides must co-sign a sponsorship agreement pledging financial support for a time frame between three and ten years, as well as the parents' and grandparents' commitment to self-sufficiency in order to qualify to sponsor your parents and grandparents.


You might not be able to sponsor parents or grandparents if you have previously broken the terms of another relative's financial support, have fallen behind on a court support order, receive Canadian government assistance (aside from disability support), have been found guilty of violent or sexual offences, have defaulted on immigration loans, are currently imprisoned, or have declared bankruptcy.


To request sponsorship for a family:

  • Check your sponsor eligibility.
  • Make sure the family members you want to sponsor are qualified.
  • Apply jointly for sponsorship and permanent residence to IRCC at the federal and provincial levels (as appropriate), as well as to the Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration (MIFI) for Quebec residents.
  • Pay the application cost for family sponsorship.
  • Send your application as instructed, following the instructions provided in the government's sponsorship guide.

 

Being able to meet the minimum income standards is important when sponsoring parents and grandparents. This evaluation is based on the total number of members in your family, which includes you, your immediate family, the person you want to sponsor, and any accompanying family members. Additionally, if the initiative and sponsorship agreement are still in force, details about any previously sponsored individuals and their families should be disclosed.

Before filing the application, you must get a notice from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) covering the last three years in order to prove your income. Following the applicant's approval, IRCC will get the notice of assessment immediately from CRA. This procedure makes sure that the assessment of your ability to sponsor and care for your parents or grandparents while they are in Canada is accurate.
