Sponsor your Spouse/ Common-law partner/ Dependant Children to Canada.
With the help of the Family Sponsorship program, citizens and permanent residents of Canada can sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, or dependant children to move in with them. Important information regarding the Family Sponsorship program is as follows:
-
Eligibility: You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, be at least eighteen years old, and meet specific income standards in order to be eligible to sponsor a family member into Canada. This is done to show that you can provide for the sponsored person's needs.
-
Relationship kinds: Under the Family Sponsorship program, a spouse, common-law partner, or dependent child may be sponsored. Children under the age of 22 who are not married or in a common-law partnership, as well as those over 22 who are financially reliant on their parents because of a disability, are considered dependent children.
-
Processing times: While family sponsorship applications might take a variety of time frames, common-law partners' applications normally receive a speedier processing time than those of spouses and dependent children. Within a year, the Canadian government hopes to process eighty percent of applications for spousal and dependent child sponsorship.
-
Permanent residency: The sponsored individual will be granted permanent residency in Canada, allowing them to live and work there indefinitely, if their Family Sponsorship application is accepted. They might also be qualified to seek for Canadian citizenship once a specific amount of time has passed.
