Whom can you sponsor?
An applicant can sponsor his or her own parents, grandparents, and any blood or adopted relatives.
If you sponsor divorced parents or grandparents, you will need to submit separate applications. If your divorced parents or grandparents have a current spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, they are considered dependents on the application and, if accepted, can migrate to Canada along with you.
Siblings, half-siblings, stepbrothers, and stepsisters may only be listed if they meet the dependent child criteria.
For all the individuals you wish to sponsor, as well as their dependents, you must meet the income requirements (spouse, partner, and children).
People you are sponsoring must also meet the requirements.
Your parents, grandparents, and any dependents must submit all necessary paperwork and documents along with your application to demonstrate that you are eligible to receive benefits on their behalf.
Any extra information that the Canadian Authorities may ask for when processing, such as:
- Biometrics,
- Police certificates, or
- Results of medical examinations.
