To immigrate to Canada under the Family Sponsorship Class (Spousal Sponsorship / Common-law Sponsorship / Grandparents Sponsorship), an individual must be sponsored by a close relative living in Canada as a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen. This is known as Family Sponsorship Class. A Canadian citizen or a permanent resident can sponsor relatives or family members residing abroad if those relatives are:
- Spouses, common-law or conjugal partners 16 years of age or older;
- Parents and grandparents; NOTE: this program changes almost every year. Please contact us for latest info.
- Dependent children, including adopted children;
