Parents and Grand Parents
Welcome to Canada's Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program
Are you a Canadian citizen or permanent resident looking to reunite with your parents or grandparents in Canada? The Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship Program is designed to facilitate the reunification of families by allowing eligible sponsors to bring their parents and grandparents to live permanently in Canada.
Why Sponsor Your Parents or Grandparents?
Family plays a significant role in our lives, and the Canadian government understands the importance of keeping families together. By sponsoring your parents or grandparents to join you in Canada, you provide them with the opportunity to be part of your life, share experiences, and create cherished memories together. Moreover, sponsoring your loved ones allows them to benefit from Canada’s excellent healthcare, education, and quality of life.
Eligibility Criteria for Sponsors:
To be eligible to sponsor your parents or grandparents, you must:
- To be eligible to sponsor your parents or grandparents, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Meet specific income requirements to demonstrate your ability to financially support the sponsored family members.
- Sign an undertaking to financially support the sponsored family members and repay any social assistance payments made to them for a specified period.
Process of Sponsorship
The sponsorship process involves several steps:
- Interest to Sponsor Form: The first step is to submit an "Interest to Sponsor" form to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) during the designated intake periods, usually announced annually.
- Invitation to Apply: Selected sponsors will receive an invitation to apply, allowing them to submit a complete application within the specified timeframe.
- Application Submission: Sponsors need to submit a detailed application package, including all required documents, forms, and supporting evidence.
- Processing and Approval: Once the application is submitted, IRCC will review the documents and assess eligibility. Successful applicants will be granted approval, and their parents or grandparents will receive permanent resident status in Canada.
Important Considerations
- Meeting the income requirements is crucial and may vary depending on the size of the family.
- It's essential to provide accurate and complete documentation to avoid delays in processing.
- The sponsorship undertaking is a legal commitment, requiring sponsors to support their family members financially for a specific period.
