Sponsorship

A qualified lawyer will review each applicant's skills and qualifications in assessing whether the applicant fits within the Family Class.

The Canadian government has enacted laws to allow people to immigrate to Canada based on their familial connection with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. For this reason, Canadian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor foreign family members for entry and permanent residence.

Not all family members can be sponsored. There are specific requirements for both the sponsor and specific requirements for the family member being sponsored.

Generally, "family" is considered in broad terms. However, there are limitations as to who may be considered a family member in the immigration legislation.
