Family Sponsorship
Relatives of Canadian citizens or permanent residents may be able to immigrate to Canada through Family Class sponsorship.
For spousal sponsorship in Canada, a spouse is a partner with whom you are legally married. This includes both opposite- and same-sex relationships.
All sponsors must agree to provide for the basic needs of the person thet wish to sponsor. In addition, sponsors must sign an undertaking, agreeing to provide financial support to their sponsored family member once they become a permanent resident and repay any social assistance payments received by the sponsored family member during the period of the undertaking.
