Whether you’re considering spousal sponsorship or seeking a Canadian immigration consultant, understanding sponsorship is crucial.

Eligibility Requirements:

Sponsors must be 18+, Canadian citizens or PRs, or registered under the Canadian Indian Act. They must show financial capability to support the sponsored individual and commit to providing for their basic needs in Canada.

Sponsorship is a complicated and lengthy application. We ensure all paperwork is complete and accurate, including identification, proof of relationship, financial documents, and other relevant paperwork per IRCC guidelines.


Application Process:

Complete forms, pay fees, and provide supporting documents. Applications undergo thorough review by IRCC officers. Each application is assessed for the sponsor’s eligibility to be a sponsor, and an applicant’s eligibility to be sponsored as a member of the family class.


Processing Times And Fees:

Processing times vary based on sponsorship type, application volume, and submission completeness.Be prepared to pay application fees, which vary based on sponsorship type and number of individuals sponsored.


Rights And Obligations:

Sponsors must provide financial support for a specified period and ensure the sponsored individuals do not seek social assistance from the government during this period. Some exemptions and special circumstances could apply.


Family Class Sponsorship Options:

Canada offers various family class sponsorship options, each with its own eligibility criteria and requirements. You can sponsor; your spouse/common law partner (from inside or outside Canada), dependant children, parents/grandparents, and in some cases other family members.
