CANADA SPONSORSHIP
Canada sponsorship programs refer to the various immigration programs that allow Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their eligible family members or spouses to come and live in Canada permanently.
These programs are designed to reunite families and provide opportunities for family members who meet the eligibility criteria to join their loved ones in Canada.
There are various sponsorship programs available like:
In order to sponsor a family member, the sponsor must meet certain eligibility requirements and must provide financial and other support to the sponsored family member. Additionally, the sponsored family member must meet certain eligibility criteria, such as passing medical and criminal background checks.It’s important to note that these sponsorship programs can be complex and require careful consideration and planning.
The sponsor must determine if they meet the eligibility requirements to sponsor a family member. This includes being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, meeting certain income requirements, and being able to provide financial support to the sponsored family member.
The sponsor must complete and submit a sponsorship application along with the required supporting documents to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for approval.
The sponsored family member must then apply for permanent residence in Canada. This application is separate from the sponsor’s application, but the sponsor will need to provide financial support and other assistance to the sponsored family member during the application process.
Both the sponsor and the sponsored family member must undergo medical exams and criminal background checks. If the sponsored family member’s application is approved, they will receive a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) and can then travel to Canada to become a permanent resident.
