Family Sponsorship in Canada
Reunite with the people who matter most
Bringing families together starts with the right guidance. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can navigate the family sponsorship process with personalized support, clear communication, and professional assistance tailored to their unique circumstances.
Build your future in Canada as a family
Family sponsorship is about more than immigration paperwork — it’s about bringing loved ones together and building your future in Canada as a family.
Whether you are sponsoring a spouse, partner, child, or exploring options for parents and grandparents, our team is here to guide you through every stage of the process with clarity and confidence.
Family Sponsorship Programs
Every family situation is unique, which is why understanding the right sponsorship pathway is an important part of the process. Canada offers different family reunification options depending on your relationship, immigration status, and long-term goals. Our team helps clients navigate these pathways with personalized guidance and strategies tailored to their specific circumstances.
Sponsor your spouse or common-law partner
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be eligible to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residence in Canada.
Our team helps couples navigate the sponsorship process, prepare supporting documentation, and build strong applications designed to clearly demonstrate the authenticity of the relationship and eligibility requirements.
Sponsor your dependent children
Certain dependent children may qualify for sponsorship under Canadian immigration programs.
In general, dependent children are unmarried and under the age of 22, although some exceptions may apply depending on educational or medical circumstances.
We help families better understand eligibility requirements and prepare applications with clarity and organization.
Parents and grandparents sponsorship
Currently closed.
At the moment this program is not accepting applications, but it usually opens once a year.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may also have options to help reunite with parents or grandparents through available sponsorship pathways.
While the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) is not always open for applications, opportunities may become available during specific intake periods announced by the Canadian government.
Super Visa for parents and grandparents
The Super Visa allows eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit and remain in Canada for extended periods of time, with authorized stays of up to five years per entry. This pathway is designed to support family reunification by giving families the opportunity to spend more meaningful time together in Canada without immediately pursuing permanent residence.

Frequently asked questions about family sponsorship in Canada
Can I sponsor my brother or sister?
In most cases, Canadian family sponsorship programs do not include siblings. Canadian citizens and permanent residents may generally sponsor eligible spouses or common-law partners, dependent children, parents, and grandparents under specific immigration pathways.
How much income do I need to sponsor my spouse or common-law partner?
There is no fixed minimum income requirement for sponsoring a spouse or common-law partner. However, sponsors are generally expected to demonstrate financial stability and the ability to support the person being sponsored throughout the process.
Can I sponsor my girlfriend or boyfriend?
In most cases, sponsorship requires a legally recognized marriage or an eligible common-law relationship. To qualify as common-law partners, both individuals must typically have lived together continuously for at least 12 months.
Can same-sex couples apply for sponsorship?
Yes. Canadian immigration programs apply equally to same-sex couples under the same eligibility requirements.
