Family Reunification in Canada
The family reunification program consists of reuniting Canadian citizens and permanent residents with their immediate family in Canada.
Sponsorship of a spouse
There are certain conditions that the sponsor must meet before they can sponsor their spouse or partner.
Among these, the sponsor must be over 18 years of age, be a permanent resident or Canadian citizen, and must have a clean criminal record. Note that the sponsored person will also have to meet certain eligibility conditions.
Sponsorship of parents or grandparents
If the sponsor wishes to sponsor their parents or grandparents, they must meet other criteria.
Indeed, they must undertake to provide financial support for these sponsored persons and the sponsored person must verify the parental link with the sponsor.
Sponsorship of a dependent child
To sponsor a dependent child, the sponsor must also be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. And they must not have been accused and found guilty of a serious offense, and must have a clean criminal record.
These conditions are once again not exhaustive, and in order to know if you meet the eligibility conditions, we invite you to contact us to discuss the conditions with a professional.
