Family Class Sponsorship

Canada has a long history of immigration and with immigration there have been a history of family reunions. There are two different categories in which families can join each other in Canada. One where you can sponsor your spouse or common law partner and second where other eligible relatives (such as a parent or grandparent) can be sponsored to become permanent residents.

If you are sponsoring a relative from outside as a permanent residence you will be responsible for supporting your relative financially when he or she arrives. As a sponsor, you must make sure your spouse or relative does not need to seek financial assistance from the government.

For you to sponsor your spouse you have to be a permanent resident or citizen of Canada. As a permanent resident you must be residing in Canada where as there could be some exceptions for Citizens. In the nutshell the application has to meet some basic eligibility criteria some of which are as follows
