Family Class Immigration

The Canadian Immigration authorities allow for sponsorship of immediate and eligible members of a permanent residents family under the Family Class Immigration in a bid to reunite families in Canada. This section on the whole comprises of two types of groups of people namely; 1- spouses, children, adopted children, common law partner and or conjugal partner 2- Parents, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers and sisters, nieces or nephews that are orphaned and below age 18, accompanying relations of any of the above mentioned or other relations under specific conditions.

While sponsoring any immediate or eligible persons for immigration to Canada the sponsors should first of all bear in mind that all the financial requirements of the sponsored individual must be borne by them until other arrangements are made by the sponsored individuals. Similarly these sponsored relations must not be put on the state governments funding or financial aids. With that aside the first step a sponsor needs to do in this case is to apply for a sponsorship to the Case Processing Centre in Ontario for members outside Canada and Alberta for those outside the country. Quebec has its own set of rules and regulations even in this case. An application kit is then sent to the sponsors with a guide and necessary documents and forms. All forms must be duly filled and sent back to the authorities with the mentioned fee for both cases whether you live within or outside Canada.

In case the relative you wish to sponsor has been approved a letter mentioning the same will be duly dispatched by the CPC to both you as the sponsor as well as the relative in question at their mail address in their country of current occupation. Incase they are not approved the sponsor has a right to appeal for a second chance at sponsorship. However the sponsor can only re appeal if the application was refused on grounds of false information or if the mentioned relative has a criminal or unsatisfactory civil certificate of conduct to name just two. Similarly the application can also get cancelled if the sponsor abandons or discontinues sponsorship procedures during first trial.

Upon arrival in Canada the sponsored relation must attend the Immigration Interview and produce all legal and travel documents to the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) officer on duty as the next step in immigration to Canada. The officer in charge may further interview the sponsored relation about most of the relevant fields in most documents to validate information provided in the initial application forms. Typically the immigrant must also disclose any funds, traveler’s cheques, money orders, stocks or cash in their possession.

The sponsored immigrant is declared a permanent resident of Canada in the event that his documents and verbal verifications match each other on grounds of accuracy and reasoning. A permanent resident card is handed over at this time or mailed to the address provided by the sponsor on a later date.
