Who Can You Sponsor Under Canadian Immigration Law?

You may be eligible to sponsor your:

  • Spouse or Common-Law Partner

  • Dependent Child

  • Parent or Grandparent

  • Other Eligible Relatives (in specific cases)

We’ll help you confirm eligibility and handle the paperwork — fast, accurately, and with care.

Understanding the Family Sponsorship Process in Canada

Bringing a loved one to Canada involves several steps and strict documentation requirements.

The process begins with proving your relationship to the person you’re sponsoring and demonstrating that you can support them financially once they arrive. Each sponsorship category—spouse or partner, parent or grandparent, dependent child, or other eligible relative—has its own eligibility tests and required forms.


At Ayodele Law, we guide clients through every phase of the IRCC sponsorship pathway, from preparing Form IMM 1344 to compiling relationship evidence and responding to immigration officers’ requests. Our focus is on avoiding the small technical errors that commonly lead to delays or refusals. We also help clients understand expected processing times, biometrics requests, and medical exam requirements.


Our goal is to make your family reunification process smoother, faster, and stress-free so you can focus on welcoming your loved one home.

FAQ: Sponsoring a Loved One to Canada

  • Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor:

    • Their spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner

    • Their dependent children (including adopted)

    • Their parents and grandparents

    • In rare cases, their orphaned siblings, nephews, nieces, or grandchildren under 18 and unmarried

  • You must:

    • Be 18 or older, and a Canadian citizen or PR (or registered under Indian Act)

    • Live in Canada (or plan to return if you're a citizen abroad)

    • Meet income requirements (for parents/grandparents) and have no disqualifying history (e.g., criminal convictions, defaulted support payments)

    • Spouses, partners, children generally have no minimum income requirement unless the dependent also has dependents.

    • Parents and grandparents require proof of Minimum Necessary Income (MNI) across the last three tax years

    • Inland sponsorship is when your spouse/partner is already in Canada — they may be eligible for an open work permit while the PR application is processed.

    • Outland sponsorship is applied from abroad — the sponsored person continues to live outside Canada and can travel more freely

    • Yes, if you're doing inland sponsorship, your spouse/partner may apply for an open work permit and work while waiting for PR.

    • If it's outland, they must apply separately for a work permit, which isn't guaranteed
