FAQs: Family Sponsorship Consultants in Montreal
Who can be sponsored under Family Class?▼
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor spouses, common-law or conjugal partners, dependent children, parents, grandparents, and in some cases other relatives depending on specific eligibility criteria. Each category has its own rules - an RCIC can confirm whether your family member qualifies.
Are there income requirements to sponsor family members?▼
Yes. Sponsors must demonstrate they can financially support the sponsored person. Income thresholds are set by IRCC and updated periodically. Sponsors also enter into an undertaking, committing to support the person for a defined period after landing. A consultant can help you determine if you meet the current requirements.
How long does family sponsorship take to process?▼
Processing times vary significantly depending on the category. Spousal applications are generally faster; parent and grandparent applications can take considerably longer. Timing also depends on the intake (e.g., the annual Parent and Grandparent Program lottery). Check ircc.canada.ca for current service standards.
Can a permanent resident sponsor family members from outside Canada?▼
Yes, but permanent residents must be living in Canada at the time of sponsorship and must agree to return to Canada with the sponsored person. They also cannot sponsor from outside Canada if they are not already residing in Canada. A consultant clarifies the specific conditions that apply to your situation.
