Information About the Family Class

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) knows it is important to help families who come from other countries to reunite in Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada, you can sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent child (including adopted child) or other eligible relative (such as a parent or grandparent) to become a permanent resident.

CIC refers to the immigrants who are eligible to use this family sponsoring process as the Family Class.

If you would like to sponsor your parents or grandparents to immigrate to Canada, you must complete an application to sponsor, promising to support your parents or grandparents. You must sign an undertaking with the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration promising to provide financial support for their basic requirements and those of their family members immigrating to Canada with them.
