FAQ — Family Sponsorship Canada
Who can I sponsor to come to Canada?
You can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, parents and grandparents. You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident aged 18 or older.
How long does spousal sponsorship take?
Spousal sponsorship takes 12 to 24 months depending on the country of origin and completeness of the file. An immigration lawyer can reduce this time by preparing a complete and well-documented file.
Can my spouse work while waiting for sponsorship?
Your spouse can get an open work permit while waiting for permanent residence if the sponsorship application has been approved in principle.
What are the financial requirements for sponsorship?
You must demonstrate that you can financially support the person being sponsored. The income threshold varies depending on the number of people in your household.
What happens if the sponsorship is refused?
You can appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) within 30 days of the refusal. A lawyer significantly increases the chances of success on appeal.
Can I sponsor my sibling?
In general, siblings (brothers and sisters) cannot be sponsored unless they are orphans under 18, are single and have no other close relatives in Canada.
