PARENT AND GRANDPARENT SPONSORSHIP
Many Canadian citizens and permanent residents want to bring their parents or grandparents to live permanently in Canada. See link below for Immigration Canada’s latest information on parent sponsorship and grand parent sponsorship.
Parent Sponsorship Requirements in Canada
Sponsor’s financial responsibility
Who cannot be a sponsor
- you are less than 18 years old
- you won’t live in Canada when you apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents and/or when your parents and grandparents become permanent residents
- Your primary residential address must be in Canada when you submit your application and until we make a decision on your application.
- you’re not a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act
- you’re a temporary resident, that is you’re visiting, studying or working in Canada on a visa or permit
- your permanent residence application is still in process
- You must have permanent resident status at the time you submit your sponsorship application.
- your proof of income shows you don’t have enough money to support your parents/grandparents
Note: There may be other reasons that make you ineligible to sponsor your parents and grandparents. Please call Eastman Law Office for further information.
Parent or Grandparent
You can sponsor your biological or adoptive parents and grandparents.
In case of divorce or separation, you can sponsor your parents’ and your grandparents’ spouses, or conjugal or common-law partners.
In your application to sponsor your parents, you can include your brothers and sisters, or half brothers and sisters, if they qualify as dependent children.
Inadmissibility
Parent/Grandparent must not be inadmissible to Canada
Your parents and grandparents and their dependants:
- won’t be allowed to enter or stay in Canada because their health condition might cause an excessive demand on health or social services;
- are not allowed to enter or stay in Canada because they have committed or been convicted of a crime. That crime may have occurred in or outside Canada.
