Family Sponsorship Program
“We're passionate about bringing families together”.
-Canada Nordic Team
Canada’s Family Sponsorship Program is a compassionate initiative that allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with their loved ones by sponsoring them to become permanent residents. This program reflects Canada’s commitment to family unity and inclusivity.
Why do we Love It?
The Family Sponsorship Program brings families together, allowing them to build a future in Canada. It fosters emotional and financial support networks, enriching communities and enhancing the quality of life for newcomers and sponsors alike.
Experience, Completeness, and Success. A successful family sponsorship application hinges on completeness, proper documentation, and adherence to immigration laws. Our expertise ensures that no detail is overlooked, significantly increasing the likelihood of approval.
Eligibility highlights
Family sponsorship can involve complex legal and procedural requirements. Ensuring every form is accurately completed is essential to avoid delays or rejections.
Sponsorship Eligibility
The sponsor must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, at least 18 years old.
Financial Requirements
Sponsors must demonstrate the financial ability to support the family member. Sometimes this means making a certain amount of income per year and sometimes it means demonstrating the ability to support your family members without the need of showing a certain amount of income.
Genuine Relationship

Commitment Agreement
Sponsors must sign an agreement to provide for the basic needs of the sponsored person.
