Family Sponsorship
We understand the importance of family. Our mission is to help you reunite with your loved ones through Canada’s Family Sponsorship program, a pathway that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their family members to live with them in Canada.
What is Family Sponsorship?
Family Sponsorship is a program offered by the Government of Canada that allows eligible individuals to sponsor their close relatives to become permanent residents. This program is designed to reunite families and strengthen ties by enabling sponsored family members to live, work, and study in Canada.
Who Can You Sponsor?
Through the Family Sponsorship program, you can sponsor a variety of family members, including:
-
Spouse, Common-Law Partner, or Conjugal Partner: You can sponsor your partner to join you in Canada, provided you meet the eligibility criteria.
-
Dependent Children: Children under the age of 22, who are not married or in a common-law relationship, can be sponsored.
-
Parents and Grandparents: Canada allows the sponsorship of parents and grandparents, allowing them to obtain permanent residency and live with you in Canada.
-
Siblings, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren under 18 years of age who are not married or in a common-law relationship.
-
Other Relatives: In certain circumstances, you may be able to sponsor other relatives, such as orphaned
How Does Family Sponsorship Work?
The Family Sponsorship process involves several steps:
-
Eligibility Check: Both the sponsor and the sponsored person must meet specific eligibility criteria. The sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and demonstrate the ability to financially support the sponsored family member.
-
Application Submission: The process begins with the submission of sponsorship and permanent residence applications. Our team at L3J Immigration Consulting will assist you in preparing and submitting these applications, ensuring that all requirements are met.
-
Application Processing: Once submitted, your application will be processed by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Processing times vary depending on the type of sponsorship and the applicant’s country of residence.
-
Approval and Landing: If the application is approved, your family member will receive a visa to enter Canada and become a permanent resident upon arrival.
