Who This Is For

Family Sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor a spouse, partner, dependent child, or in some cases parents and grandparents. Common situations include:

• Spousal or common-law partner sponsorship
• Dependent children joining a parent in Canada
• Parents and Grandparents Program (PGP) sponsorship
• Family reunification for permanent residents or citizens
• Adding a new dependent after a marriage or birth

Documents You'll Typically Need

Requirements vary by sponsorship category, but generally include:

• ✓ Valid passport for each dependent
• ✓ Proof of relationship — marriage certificate, birth certificates
• ✓ Sponsor's status documents (citizen or PR) and proof of ability to support dependents
• ✓ Sponsor's proof of income or funds
• ✓ Accommodation details for the family
• ✓ Medical and police clearance certificates
