The Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents or grandparents to become permanent residents of Canada. This initiative underscores Canada’s commitment to keeping families united, offering a valuable opportunity for elderly family members to join their relatives in Canada.
Eligibility Criteria for Sponsors
To be eligible to sponsor your parent or grandparent to Canada, you must:
- Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Exceed the minimum necessary income level for this program, as determined by the Canadian government.
- Sign an undertaking to provide financial support for your sponsored family members.
Application Process
The application process involves:
- Interest to Sponsor Form: Initially, potential sponsors submit an ‘Interest to Sponsor’ form to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
- Invitation to Apply: IRCC then randomly selects potential sponsors and invites them to submit a complete application.
- Application Submission: Chosen sponsors must accurately complete and submit their application within the specified deadline.
Financial Commitments
Sponsors must demonstrate that they meet or exceed the minimum income requirements for three consecutive years to ensure that the sponsored relatives will not require financial assistance from the government.
