Family Sponsorship Program

The Family Sponsorship Program allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor close family members—such as spouses, common-law partners, children, and some relatives—to join them in Canada. The sponsor commits to supporting their family member financially and ensuring they have basic needs met. The process involves submitting an application demonstrating the relationship and meeting certain eligibility criteria. This program fosters family reunification by helping loved ones live together in Canada while respecting immigration laws and ensuring the sponsored individual can integrate successfully.
