Are You Qualified for Family Sponsorship to Canada?

At Immigration to Canada, we help you navigate the complexities of family sponsorship. Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their close relatives to gain permanent residence in Canada. Each year, under its Immigration Levels Plan, Canada aims to bring in about 80,000 new permanent residents through family sponsorship. Additionally, Canada targets around 30,000 new immigrants annually through its Parents and Grandparents Program. The most frequently utilized sponsorship category includes spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children of Canadian sponsors.
