Canada Family Sponsorship

Introduction

Canada’s Family Sponsorship Program allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their close family members for permanent residence. This includes spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents. The goal is to reunite families and provide them the opportunity to live together in Canada permanently. Family sponsorship is a heartfelt program and an essential part of Canada’s immigration policy. It strengthens family bonds while offering newcomers a safe and welcoming environment.
