Canada prioritizes family unity and reunification through various immigration pathways, including family sponsorship, which is widely favored. This stream facilitates Canadian citizens and permanent residents in efficiently bringing their spouses and immediate family members to the country, underscoring Canada’s commitment to ensuring families remain united without delay.
Whether your spouse or common-law partner resides in Canada on a valid temporary visa or overseas, you can extend the processing period to 12 months by sponsoring them for Canadian permanent residency. Those already in Canada may also qualify for an open work permit, easing financial responsibilities for couples.
During the application review, sponsored individuals can work in Canada under a spousal open work permit. Canada recognizes common-law partnerships, making you eligible for spousal sponsorship if you have cohabitated with your partner for at least one year without being legally married.
When immigrating to Canada, you have the option to include your children as accompanying dependents on your permanent residency application. If you choose not to include them or they are unable to be included, they can still travel with you to Canada later on.
Canada’s child sponsorship program allows citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their biological or adopted children under the age of 22 for permanent residency, provided the children are unmarried and do not have children of their own.
Parent and grandparent sponsorship programs are one way that Canada supports family reunification; these programs are available to parents and grandparents of citizens and permanent residents of Canada. To sponsor a parent or grandparent, citizens and permanent residents must demonstrate their ability to provide for their family by fulfilling the Minimum Requisite Income (MNI) for the size of their family. They must also agree to provide financial support, if needed, for the family members they have sponsored. Sponsors who are unable to provide their parents or grandparents with permanent assistance may be eligible for a Super Visa, which is a long-term, multiple-entry visa for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
