An introduction to Canada family PR Visa
The foundation of Canada's immigration policy is family reunion. Since the end of World War II, Canada has worked to welcome immigrants to boost its economy, reunite families, and out of compassion and humanitarianism. Under Canada's Immigration Levels Plan, families make up the second-largest group of immigrants accepted.
The country's immigration system is managed by the Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada or IRCC for short. IRCC establishes and administers Canada's family sponsorship program. This entails establishing program criteria, accepting and reviewing family sponsorship applications, and providing permanent and temporary resident visas.
What is Canadian Family Sponsorship?
Canadian Family Sponsorship allows your family member to immigrate to Canada and get permanent residence (PR). It requires you, as an individual, to commit to meeting basic necessities and financially supporting that person.
Can I be a sponsor?
To sponsor a family member, you must meet various qualifications, including being:
1. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada
2. 18 years of age or older
3. Should be financially capable of supporting the sponsored individual for a number of years
Member you can sponsor is your spouse, common-law partner, dependent children parents and grandparents. There are exceptions to this rule, and you may be able to sponsor a non immediate family member (such as a sister, niece, or uncle) if you do not have any other immediate family members to sponsor, or if you have legally adopted them and they meet the definition of a dependent child.
What is the minimum income required to sponsor?
You must sign a Sponsorship Agreement with your sponsored family member as a sponsor. This is your promise to offer financial help for the person you are sponsoring's basic necessities (food, clothes, shelter, and health needs not covered by public health services).
For several forms of sponsorships, you must also meet or surpass the Low Income Cut-off (LICO), such as if you:
1. You are supporting a spouse or partner who has a dependent kid with one or more children of their own
2. You are sponsoring a dependent child with one or more dependent children of their own. 3. You are sponsoring a parent or grandparent.
If you live in Quebec, you must meet the province's sponsorship standards, and your income will be evaluated by the Quebec immigration ministry.
What is a sponsorship undertaking?
You will be required to sign an " undertaking " making you legally responsible for the family member you are sponsoring. If that family member should need government social assistance, you will have to repay this money.
The undertaking will stay in effect for a period of time based on the family member you are sponsoring and will not be cancelled even if circumstances change (i.e. if the person you are
Sponsoring becomes a Canadian citizen, if you divorce or separate, if you have financial problems).
Sponsored Person Length of undertaking (Except Quebec)
Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner 3 years
Dependent child 10 years, or until age 25, whichever comes first Dependent child 22 years of age or older 3 years
Parent or grandparent 20 years Other relative 10 years
For Quebec, the length of undertaking depends on the family member you are sponsoring and, in the case of children, their age:
Sponsored Person Length of Undertaking
Spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner 3 years
Dependent child under 16 years of age Minimum 10 years (or until age 18), whichever is longer Dependent child 16 years of age and older Minimum 3 years (or until age 25), whichever is longer Other relatives 10 years
How to apply for Family Sponsorship
Step 1: Determine whether you are eligible to be a sponsor.
Step 2: Confirm that the relatives you seek to sponsor fit the qualifying requirements.
Step 3: Apply to the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the federal level, and to the Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration (MIFI) at the provincial level if you are a Quebec resident. You must submit your sponsorship application as well as the applications for permanent residence (PR) status of your family members or relatives jointly. Your PR application will be reviewed once you have been determined to be eligible to sponsor.
Step 4: You must pay the application fee for family sponsorship.
Step 5: Send your application to the appropriate address. This information can be found in the sponsorship guide, which is accessible for download on the government website.
