Quebec has a unique position in Canada, which means that there are some specific stages and standards that you must complete or achieve before you may sponsor a family member.

Your Spouse’s Sponsorship

Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are married or in a civil partnership with a foreign national may sponsor that person to come to Canada.

You must comply with the following requirements in order to sponsor your spouse or partner:

At least 18 years old

You must be a Canadian permanent resident or a Canadian citizen.

Not be incarcerated, insolvent, subject to a removal order (if a permanent resident), or charged with a major crime.

You must not have been sponsored to come to Canada as a spouse during the last five years.

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can bring their child from another country to become permanent residents in Canada.

You must do the following to sponsor your child:

be at least 18 years old

be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident living in Canada who intends to return, or a person registered under Canada’s Indian Act

be able to meet your fundamental demands as well as the needs of your dependent children

be able to prove your relationship with your child;

not have a criminal record or be in prison, not be charged with a major offense, and not be bankrupt

not be in conflict of a previous sponsorship agreement

not be under immigration inquiry

Unless you are disabled, you should not be receiving financial support.

To be eligible for sponsorship, the dependent child must be the biological or adoptive child of a permanent resident or Canadian citizen, be under the age of 22, and not be married or in a common-law relationship.

Sponsoring Your Parents or Grandparents

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their parents and grandparents for permanent residency in Canada. They may even be allowed to request for Canadian citizenship in the future.

To sponsor your parent or grandparent, you must first:

be a citizen of Canada, a permanent resident of Canada, or a registered Indian under the Canadian Indian Act

be at least 18 years old

be a resident of Canada

exceed the program’s minimum income requirement and submit IRCC with proof of income

sign an agreement to financially support the sponsored for 20 years (beginning when they become permanent residents) and to return any social assistance benefits paid to sponsored family members (if applicable) for the same time period.
