Overview

What this pathway requires

Canadian citizens, permanent residents and certain registered persons may be able to sponsor qualifying family members. The requirements vary by relationship category and by the sponsor’s status, residence and circumstances.

How we structure the file

  • Confirm sponsor and applicant eligibility
  • Organize genuine relationship and civil-status evidence
  • Review previous marriages, refusals or sponsorship history
  • Complete declarations and supporting forms consistently
  • Plan responses to requests or procedural concerns

Common application directions

Spouse or partner

Files commonly rely on relationship history, communication, cohabitation, visits, finances and family recognition.

Dependent child

Eligibility depends on the legal relationship, age and dependency rules in force.

Parents and grandparents

Separate program intake and super visa options may apply, depending on current availability.

Special family situations

Adoption, orphaned relatives and other categories require a specific legal and factual review.
