Canadian government in response to showing their efforts for family reunification has made another programme for sponsoring dependent children. Under this programme a citizen and permanent resident holder can sponsor dependent children (under the age of 22), natural or adopted to become permanent residents of Canada. For using this process there are certain rules and regulations which come with some basic eligibility requirements as well as financial undertaking sated by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
Children qualify as dependants if they meet both requirements:
● they’re under 22 years old,
● they don’t have a spouse or common law partner
Children 22 years old or older qualify as dependants if they meet both requirements:
● they are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition
● they have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22.
Except for age, your dependent child must continue to meet these requirements until we finish processing your application.
Use thisonline toolto check if a child qualifies as a dependant.
You can sponsor your dependent child if:
● You’re at least 18 years old
● You’re a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada, or a person registered in Canada as an Indian under the Canadian Indian Act
● If you’re a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you must show that you plan to live in Canada when the persons you want to sponsor become permanent residents.
● You’re able to prove that you’re not receiving social assistance for reasons other than a disability.
● You can provide for the basic needs of any persons you want to sponsor
You can’t sponsor someone if you’re a permanent resident living outside Canada.
Relatives Sponsorship
Under certain circumstances Canadian citizens and permanent resident holders can sponsor their Orphaned brother, sister, nephew, niece, or grandchild.
To sponsor your orphaned relative there are rules and regulations set by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and which are:
● they must be unmarried,
● under 18 years old,
● and related to you by blood or adoption.
Other relatives (under exceptional circumstances as a “Lonely Canadian”)
There are rare circumstances under which and Canadian citizen or permanent resident may be eligible to sponsor one extended relative to migrate to Canada. To sponsor a relative that falls outside of Canada’s current Family Class definition, sponsors must be considered a “Lonely Canadian”, which means the sponsor has no spouse, common-law partner, child, parent, or grandparent
