FAMILY SPONSORSHIP

Family Sponsorship is a cornerstone of Canada's immigration policy, allowing Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their loved ones by sponsoring them for permanent residency. At Litmus Immigration Services Inc., we understand the importance of family unity and are dedicated to assisting you through the family sponsorship process with care and expertise.

Key Features of Family Sponsorships:

​

1. Spousal Sponsorship: Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for permanent residency in Canada. Spousal sponsorship enables couples to live together in Canada and build a life together.

2. Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship: Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and grandparents to immigrate to Canada under the Family Class sponsorship program. This pathway allows families to reunite and provides parents and grandparents with the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of living in Canada.

3. Dependent Child Sponsorship: Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their dependent children for permanent residency in Canada. This includes biological or adopted children under the age of 22 who are not married or in a common-law relationship.

4. Other Family Members: In certain circumstances, Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be eligible to sponsor other eligible relatives, such as siblings, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren, under the Family Class sponsorship program.

Eligibility for Family Sponsorships:

​

• Sponsor Eligibility: To sponsor a family member, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident living in Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act.

• Relationship Eligibility: The sponsored family member must be a close relative of the sponsor, such as a spouse, parent, grandparent, dependent child, or other eligible family member as per immigration regulations.

• Financial Eligibility: Sponsors must demonstrate that they have sufficient income to support the sponsored family member and their accompanying dependents without relying on social assistance from the government.

• Undertaking of Support: Sponsors are required to sign an undertaking, committing to provide financial support to the sponsored family member for a specified period after their arrival in Canada.
