Canada is among those countries that welcomes a great number of immigrants every year. If you are looking for sponsoring any of your family members to immigrate to Canada, then you must be relieved knowing that more than 100,000 family class immigrants are welcomed by the country every year. Most of the people arriving through family sponsorship come via Spouses, Partners, and Children category while few come under the Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP).
It is important that you understand the conditions in which you can sponsor your family members. However, there are few situations in which the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) doesn’t allow immigrants to come through family sponsorship programs.
Canadian citizens, permanent residents and persons registered under Canada’s Indian Act; all 18 years and above are eligible for sponsoring their family members for obtaining Canadian permanent residence.
How to apply for sponsorship program?
You need to follow two primary steps for applying to the sponsorship program. You have to fill the application to sponsor your relative and on the other hand your relative has to fill the permanent residence application. Both these applications have to be submitted at the same time to Immigrations, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Points that need to be taken into consideration before applying and submitting the application:
- The most important is to meet the requirements laid down by IRCC.
