Family sponsorship is personal and evidence-heavy. The application should clearly show eligibility, relationship history, financial requirements where relevant, and complete supporting documents.

Who this is for

  • Canadian citizens or permanent residents sponsoring eligible family members
  • Spouses, common-law partners, or conjugal partners
  • Families planning parent or grandparent sponsorship
  • Applicants who need help organizing relationship evidence

What we review

We review sponsor eligibility, applicant eligibility, relationship evidence, status issues, previous refusals, dependent children, forms, and supporting documents.

Common risks

Risks include incomplete forms, weak relationship evidence, missing translations, unclear timelines, or misunderstanding sponsor obligations.

Next step

Request a sponsorship document review to understand evidence needs before filing.
