Through Family Class Sponsorship, Canadian citizens and permanent residents who have dependent or adopted children living abroad can sponsor them to immigrate to Canada.

The main purpose of the sponsorship of dependent children, which is offered through the Family Class sponsorship, is to enable family members who reside in different countries to be reunited and live together in Canada.  More specifically, the program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring their children from abroad to Canada as permanent residents.

To sponsor a dependent child to come to Canada, the applicant parent must:

• be 18 years of age or older.
• be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident living in Canada, intending to return to Canada, or a person registered under the Indian Act of Canada.
• be able to provide for the basic needs and those of the applicant’s dependent children as well as the applicant’s spouse, if applicable.
• be able to prove the applicant’s relationship to the child.
• not have a criminal record.
• not be in prison, charged with a serious offence, or bankrupt.
• not be in default of a previous sponsorship undertaking.
• not be under immigration investigation.
• not be receiving income assistance, except for reasons of disability.

In addition, the child being sponsored must be:

• underage of 22 at the time of the sponsorship application submission
• not married or in a common-law relationship.
• the biological or adopted child of a sponsoring parent.

Children over the age of 22 may also qualify for sponsorship as a dependent child providing, they meet the following two requirements:

• they suffer from a physical or mental condition that prevents them from being able to support themselves.
• they have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22.
