Sponsoring your Spouse or Common Law Partner
As a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be able to sponsor your spouse, common-law partner and dependent children to become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsorship involves significant paperwork: you must show that you qualify as a sponsor, that your relationship is genuine, and that every form and supporting document is complete and consistent.
Parents and Grandparents
Through the Parent and Grandparent Program, citizens and permanent residents can also sponsor their parents and grandparents. One of the main requirements is that sponsors must meet the minimum necessary income level for three consecutive tax years, proven through notices of assessment.
