Family Class Sponsorship
Reunite With Your Family in Canada Through Sponsorship
Immigrating abroad for career or lifestyle reasons need not entail painful separations from loved ones. Canada’s Family Class Sponsorship programs allow permanent residents and citizens to sponsor qualifying relatives for permanent status so you can reunite and flourish together.
At Szikinger Immigration Law, our immigration practice helps many clients navigate such sponsorships successfully every year. Rely on our personalized guidance for smooth approvals.
Who Can You Sponsor?
Under Family Class, you can sponsor:
- Spouses or common-law/conjugal partners
- Dependent children
- Parents and grandparents
Orphaned relatives under 18 years
Sponsoring siblings, uncles/aunts or cousins is not permitted currently except on humanitarian grounds in special cases. Confirm with our experts on applicable category and eligibility requirements for your situation before proceeding.
