Immigration to Canada
Family Immigration
Family Immigration.
Canada allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their foreign family members to become permanent residents. Family sponsorship is possible for parents and grandparents, spouses and common-law partners (including same-sex partners), and dependent children. In some cases, you may even be able to sponsor your brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and other categories of relatives.
Each type of sponsorship has its own regulations. Some require signing an undertaking agreement and meeting financial criteria, while others involve a complicated process of proving a genuine relationship. Jalili Law specializes in all types of family immigration and will assist you throughout the entire process of family sponsorship. Contact us via phone or email to discuss your case!
