Sponsoring a family member to Canada involves a process that is typically handled by the Canadian government. The process varies depending on the specific family member you want to sponsor. As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, here is a general overview of the process for sponsoring a spouse, partner, or dependent child:

1. Eligibility

– To be a sponsor, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.
– You must be at least 18 years old.
– You must prove that you are not receiving social assistance for reasons other than a disability.

2. Choose the Appropriate Family Member

– You can sponsor a spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child, parent, or grandparent.

3. Gather Required Documents

4. Complete the Application Package

– Obtain the application package for the specific family member you want to sponsor from the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

5. Pay Fees

6. Submit the Application

7. Processing Time

– Wait for the application to be processed. Processing times can vary.

8. Decision

– If the sponsorship application is approved, the sponsored family member will receive their permanent residence status.

9. Family Member’s Obligations

10. Permanent Residence
