Children or Other Dependents Sponsorship

 

Sponsor a child or other dependents

Children or Other Dependents Sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their children and other dependents. 

The objective of the Family Class of immigration is to reunite close family members in Canada.

Through the Family Class, Canadian citizens and permanent residents may sponsor their dependent children, parents and grandparents, spouse, common-law, and conjugal partners.

The Government of Canada has a strong commitment to keeping families together whenever possible. Because of this, processing Family Class applications is a high priority at Canadian Visa Offices.

Under most circumstances, individuals coming to Canada as temporary foreign workers or permanent residents have the right to bring their dependents, including any and all dependent children, to Canada with them. However, circumstances arise when this is not possible at the time of immigration. For Canadian citizens and permanent residents with dependent children abroad, the government has created a special program to facilitate their loved ones’ entry into Canada.

You Can Sponsor Your Children As A Dependent Only If They Meet These Two Criteria:

  • At least 18 years old
  • A citizen or permanent resident of Canada or a registered Indian in the Canadian Indian Act
  • Prove that you are not benefiting from social assistance unless for the reason of disability
  • Financially capable to support and provide for yourself, your spouse, and even your spouse’s dependent children’s basic needs if applicable

You Can Sponsor Your Children As A Dependent Only If They Meet These Two Criteria:

  • Under the age of 22 years old
  • Do not have a spouse or common-law partner

However, If Your Children Are Above 22 Years Old, They Will Qualify As Dependent Children If They Are:

  • Not capable to support themselves financially due to conditions with mental and physical
  • Still dependent on the financial support of their parents ever since before they reach 22 years old
