Navigating the Complex Rules for Family Immigration
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor their spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children for permanent residence.
Canada recognizes both married and common law relationships, including same-sex partners. In all cases, you must prove the existence of a genuine relationship.
In addition to citizens and permanent residents sponsoring family members, economic class immigrants may include their spouses, partners and dependent children in their applications to become permanent residents.
It is also possible for citizens and permanent residents to sponsor other members of the family class for permanent residence, including parents or grandparents, although the processing times will be much longer. In some cases, Canadian citizens and permanent residents may also be able to sponsor their orphaned brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces and grandchildren.
