Welcome to our immigration firm, your trusted partner for Canada Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship. Our team of experienced immigration professionals is dedicated to reuniting families by assisting Canadian citizens and permanent residents in sponsoring their parents and grandparents to live in Canada. This comprehensive guide outlines the eligibility criteria, requirements, and expert services we offer to ensure a smooth and successful sponsorship process.

Understanding Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship:

The Canada Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship program allows eligible Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor their parents and grandparents to become permanent residents in Canada. This program emphasizes the importance of family reunification, enabling individuals to live together and create lasting memories with their loved ones.

Sponsor Eligibility Criteria:

To be eligible to sponsor a parent or grandparent, the sponsoring individual must meet the following criteria:

a. Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.

b. Be at least 18 years old.

c. Reside in Canada at the time of the sponsorship application.

d. Meet the minimum necessary income requirements to prove financial capability to support the sponsored parent/grandparent.

e. Not be in receipt of social assistance (except for disability).

f. Not be in default of any previous sponsorship obligations.

g. Have a genuine intention to support and provide for the sponsored parent/grandparent.

Financial Requirements for Sponsors:

One of the key requirements for sponsorship is to demonstrate the financial ability to support the sponsored parent/grandparent. Our immigration firm’s experts will guide you through the financial documentation process, which includes:

a. Providing proof of income through official tax documents, employment verification letters, and pay stubs.

b. Submitting the Notice of Assessment (NOA) from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) for the most recent tax year.

c. Demonstrating the ability to meet the Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) for the size of your family unit, including the sponsored parent/grandparent.

Grandparent Sponsorship Super Visa:

While the Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship program offers a path to permanent residency, the Super Visa is an alternative option. The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents to visit their Canadian family for extended periods, up to two years per visit, without the need for renewal. Our immigration firm can guide you through the Super Visa application process as well.

Eligibility Criteria for Sponsored Parents/Grandparents:

To be eligible for sponsorship, the parent/grandparent must meet the following criteria:

a. Have a genuine relationship with the sponsor, backed by supporting documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, or other legal documents.

b. Undergo medical examinations to ensure they meet the health requirements for immigration to Canada.

c. Complete the necessary criminal background checks to prove they are not inadmissible for criminality reasons.
