Family Sponsorship
A Canadian citizen or Permanent resident may sponsor his or her family member to come to Canada as permanent residents depending on their unique status.
Applicants for Permanent Residence must go through medical, criminal and background screening. Applicants with a criminal record may not be allowed to enter Canada. People who pose a risk to Canada’s security are also not allowed to enter Canada. Applicants may have to provide a certificate from police authorities in their home country.
The Sponsor’s Guide for Family Class explains medical, criminal and background checks. For more information, go to the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page.
