Sponsor Your Parents or Grand Parents

You can sponsor your own parents and grandparents, related by blood or adoption.
In case of divorce or separation, you can sponsor your parents’ and your grandparents’ spouses, or conjugal or common-law partners.
In the application, you can only include your brothers and sisters, or half brothers and sisters, if they qualify as dependent children.
You may sponsor more than 1 person or couple if you meet the income requirements for all the people you want sponsor and their dependents (spouse, partner and children).

The people you sponsor must also be eligible

To show they meet the eligibility requirements, your parents and grandparents and their dependents must provide:

  • All required forms and documents with their application
  • Any additional information that the IRCC requests during processing, including:
    • Medical exams
    • Police certificates
    • Biometrics

From 2019 onwards, IRCC has revised the random in-take cycle and replaced with a first come first serve basis by allowing the prospective Sponsors to lodge an Interest to Sponsor Form.

Only the applicant’s invited to apply after submission of interest to sponsor form can proceed towards the more detailed documentation and concerned information for further processing of applications.
