What Is Family Sponsorship and Who Can You Sponsor?
Family sponsorship is a program under Canadian immigration that lets you reunite with close family members by sponsoring them for permanent residency (PR). You can sponsor:
Spousal Sponsorship
Spousal sponsorship allows a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor their legally married husband or wife to come live permanently in Canada. You’ll need to prove that your marriage is genuine and not entered into for immigration purposes. This includes submitting documents like a marriage certificate, photos together, shared financials, and written letters explaining your relationship history.
Common-Law Sponsorship
You can sponsor your partner as a common-law spouse if you've been living together in a marriage-like relationship for at least 12 consecutive months. Proof of cohabitation—like joint leases, shared bills, and mail sent to the same address—is essential. This pathway is ideal for couples who aren’t legally married but have built a life together under one roof.
Conjugal Partner Sponsorship
If you’re in a committed relationship but can’t live together due to serious barriers (such as immigration restrictions or cultural laws), you may be eligible to sponsor your partner as a conjugal partner. This stream is for couples who can’t qualify as spouses or common-law partners due to circumstances beyond their control. You’ll need to show evidence of your emotional and financial connection, ongoing communication, and reasons why cohabitation or marriage wasn't possible.
Sponsor Children to Canada
You can sponsor your biological or adopted children to become permanent residents, as long as they are under the age of 22 and unmarried. If your child is already in Canada or living abroad, we’ll guide you through the legal steps to reunite you. You’ll need to provide documents like birth certificates, custody agreements (if applicable), and proof of your relationship and legal responsibility.
Sponsor Parents to Canada
The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship Program (PGP) lets you bring your parents or grandparents to Canada as permanent residents. Since it operates on a lottery-style invitation system, it's important to be fully prepared when invited. You must meet certain income requirements and agree to financially support them for 20 years after their arrival.
Undeclared Family Sponsorship
If you didn’t declare a family member—like a spouse or child—when you first immigrated, they were originally barred from sponsorship under Canada’s strict rules. However, Immigration Canada now offers a Public Policy to sponsor previously undeclared family members in certain cases. With the right legal support, you may be able to reunite with your loved ones despite past omissions.
Who Is Eligible to Be a Sponsor?
- Must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident
- Must be 18 years or older
- Must live in Canada (or plan to return when the sponsored person arrives)
- Must prove the financial ability to support the sponsored person
- Must not have certain criminal convictions or past sponsorship defaults
How a Lawyer Can Help With Your Family Sponsorship Application
Hiring a lawyer ensures your application is:
- Complete and accurate, reducing risk of delays or refusal
- Strategically prepared, with proper supporting documents and legal explanations
- Tailored to your unique situation, whether you’re dealing with past immigration history, missing documents, or complex relationships
- Protected legally in case of an appeal or procedural issue
Frequently Asked Questions When it Comes To Family Sponsorship
How long does family sponsorship take in Canada?
Spousal sponsorship can take 10–12 months, while parent sponsorship may take longer due to intake limits.
Can I sponsor my partner if we’re not married?
Yes, common-law and conjugal partners are eligible if you meet the relationship requirements.
Can I work with a lawyer if I’ve already submitted my application?
Yes! We can step in to review, fix, or support existing applications, and help with delays or refusals.
What if my sponsorship was refused?
We help you appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) and prepare a compelling case to overturn unfair decisions.
