Each case is assessed individually, taking into account factors such as:
  • How well established the person is in Canada
  • Their general family ties within the country
  • The best interests of any children involved
  • The potential impact on the applicant if the application is not approved
We carefully evaluate all these elements when reviewing H&C applications.

Sponsor Family Members or Relatives

As a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible to sponsor certain family
members or relatives to become permanent residents of Canada. To qualify, you must be at least 18 years old and willing to provide financial support to meet their basic needs upon arrival.
Family reunification is a core principle of Canada’s immigration system, and the Family Class Sponsorship program is designed to help bring loved ones together under one roof. If you have a family member who wishes to immigrate to Canada, you may be able to support their application through this program.
