Family Sponsorship Services
Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor certain foreign family members for permanent residence in Canada through the Family Class Sponsorship category. This includes a spouse, partner, parent, or child. Applications to sponsor a family member are generally processed through Canadian visa offices abroad where the foreign family member is living in another country, or they may be processed through an immigration office in Canada where the foreign family member is inside the country.
Types of Family Sponsorship
Spousal Sponsorship
A two-step application in which the Canadian first applies to be approved as a sponsor, then the foreign spouse applies for permanent residence.
