The Family Class Sponsorship Program remains one of the pillars of the
Canadian immigration system. This program reunites families by allowing
adult citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a relative for permanent
immigration to Canada.
The citizen or permanent resident can sponsor there:
- Spouse, common-law or conjugal partner Parent and grandparent
- Dependent child
- Siblings, nephew, niece or grandchild under 18 years of age who is unmarried and whose parents are deceased
The relative who is sponsored must be living outside Canada, unless they are
residing legally in Canada temporarily, as a visitor or on a work or study permit.
