Reunite with Your Loved Ones in Canada

Canada’s Family Sponsorship Program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their family members to Canada.

They can sponsor the spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child (including adopted child), or other eligible relatives (such as a parent or grandparent) to become a Canadian permanent resident.This program is designed to help families reunite and build a new life together in Canada. If you are eligible, you can sponsor certain relatives to come to Canada as permanent

residents.

If you sponsor a relative to come to Canada as a permanent resident, you are responsible for supporting your relative financially when he or she arrives here. As a sponsor, you must make sure your spouse or relative does not need to seek financial assistance from the government.
