Sponsoring a family member for Canadian permanent residency entails two primary steps: assessing the sponsor’s eligibility and facilitating the sponsored family member’s application process. The sponsor must fulfill specific criteria, which involve being a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, showcasing the capacity to financially support the sponsored family member, and meeting other essential eligibility requirements. Upon the sponsor’s approval, the sponsored family member can proceed with their application for permanent residency, which necessitates completing the necessary forms, submitting supporting documents, and paying the applicable fees.
