Family Sponsorship Services

Bringing Families Together in Canada

Introduction:

At the Law Office of Basheer Ahmed, we understand the importance of family reunification and the joy it brings to individuals and their loved ones. Our Family Sponsorship Services are designed to help Canadian citizens and permanent residents bring their eligible relatives to Canada, allowing them to live, study, work, and thrive as permanent residents.

Who Can You Sponsor?

The Family Class Sponsorship Program allows you to sponsor various family members, including:

- - Spouses, Common-law Partners, and Conjugal Partners:
    If you have a spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner, they may be eligible for sponsorship, provided they are above 18 years of age.
  - Parents and Dependent Children:
    You can sponsor your parents and dependent children to join you in Canada and enjoy a better quality of life.
  - Adopted Children and Those Under Guardianship:
    The program allows for the sponsorship of adopted children, children being considered for adoption (under 18 years of age), and those under your guardianship.
  - Grandparents:
    Reconnect with your grandparents and provide them with the care and support they deserve.
  - Siblings, Nephews, and Nieces:
    Under certain conditions, you can sponsor your siblings, nephews, and nieces to join you in Canada.
  - Grandchildren:
    If you have orphaned grandchildren under 18 years of age who are unmarried and not in a common-law relationship, you may be eligible to sponsor them.

Sponsorship Duties and Responsibilities:

Sponsoring a family member is a significant responsibility, and it comes with specific requirements. To be eligible to sponsor a family member, you must:

- - Be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada.
  - Be at least 18 years old.
  - Meet the income requirements as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
  - Demonstrate your intent to live in Canada if your sponsored relative’s application is approved.
  - Maintain good financial standing and not have declared bankruptcy.
  - Have no criminal offenses on your record.
  - Additionally, sponsors are required to provide an undertaking, committing to financially support the sponsored relative for a specified period after their arrival in Canada. This undertaking is a binding contract, and sponsors are responsible for any social assistance payments made to the sponsored family members.
