Sponsoring Extended Family or Relatives to Canada

The Canadian Government has designed the family-class immigration program to reunite Canadian citizens and permanent residents with their close family members. For assistance with the sponsorship process, call one of our knowledgeable immigration lawyers in our law office.

There are two parties involved in the process:

  • “Sponsor”:  the Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident that wants to bring their other close relatives and family members to Canada; and
  • “Applicant”: the party applying to come to Canada and wishes to live in Canada on a permanent basis.

Sponsoring Other Close Relatives or Extended Family

A permanent resident or Canadian Citizen can sponsor their orphaned brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and grandchildren provided they are less than 18 years of age, are single and are related to the sponsor by blood or adoption.

The sponsor must submit a sponsorship application to be approved. The application will include proof of the relationship between the sponsor and the extended family member, such as a birth certificate or other official documents. The sponsor must also prove their ability to financially support their family member. The sponsor must prove that they have enough money to provide food, clothing, and shelter for the sponsored family member. In addition, the sponsor must prove that the close relative has no access to financial resources in their home country. After the application is approved, the sponsored family member can apply for permanent residence in Canada.

Once it is determined that you are eligible to sponsor a member of your extended family or relatives, you will need to gather all necessary documentation and complete the sponsorship application. This is where one of our experienced Immigration Lawyers can help.
